Pakistan Television Corporation (Urdu: ???????? ?? ? report ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? center in Islamabad, Pakistan.

The Television Promoters Company (Private) Ltd. was established in February. 10, 1966. Subsequently, on June 27, 1967, it was converted into a public limited company and called Pakistan Television Corporation Limited. An excerpt from the Statutes is given below:

"We are a number of persons whose names and addresses are listed below wishing to be incorporated into the Company in accordance with this Memorandum of Understanding and we each agree to take the number of shares in the Company's capital in contrast to our respective names:"

Purpose: The day before the inauguration of the Lahore Pilot Station, the Federal Information Secretary explained the main purpose and goals of television in Pakistan.

According to him, television is meant to help solve educational and social problems, and to weld people to a strong and enlightened state that is inspired by the general view of life. He insisted that the TV would not be used for political purposes or air politics programmers. The secretary further said television will promote moral values, civil awareness, pride and confidence in the nation, and the appreciation of cultural heritage.

In time, when more television stations are established, the new medium range will cover a broad field that allows more people to benefit from their educational and instructional potential.

The television policy's formal code is outlined as:

• Instruction and enlightenment
• Enrichment of knowledge and information
• Healthy entertainment
• Promotion of national vision and integration

Structure: Upon successful completion of 90 days experiment period, Lahore and Dhaka Stations were taken over by TV Promoter Company (Pvt) Ltd, established by the Government of Pakistan. It became Ptv in 1967.

In the same year, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting uses EWP Associates Ltd., Management Consultant, to develop a strategic plan for the TV Company, its organizational structure, business plans and operational procedures. EWP Associates Ltd. has three directors, Raza-ur-Rehman and Saif-ur-Rehman (later Minister of Finance) and Abdul Jabbar Malik. they are senior Chartered Accountants. Mutee-ur-Rehman Mirza, Accountant Accountant and Management Accountant, is the consultant responsible for this project.

Mutee-ur-Rehman Mirza, author of the organizational structure of Ptv, described the development of the document as saying, Information Secretary Altaf Gauhar while sharing his vision of the television network stated among other things that the government has been heavily criticized for starting television in the country.

Some critics regard television as a "premature baby" who will not survive and others feel that it is an "affordable toy" but can play a role in nation building, safeguarding and promoting the country's political, economic and social interests.

In a meeting with the responsible Consultant, Gauhar said he wanted to see television running on a healthy commercial path without disrupting the role of its public services. It concludes television programming and financial policy and is part of the Object: The Memorandum of Association Clause.

In line with the policy guidelines, the business plan of the Pakistan Television Corporation is to develop itself as a commercially self-sustaining organization. To ensure financial and operational autonomy, Ptv is committed to paying a 10 percent dividend from government equity and paying off all government loans at interest.

Since PTv is meant to grow and operate as a commercially active organization, it is important that corporate culture, away from government agencies, be developed to ensure creativity and efficiency.

Thus, the organizational structure of Ptv is designed on a functional basis with five main divisions: Program, News & amp; Current Affairs, Engineering, Finance and Administration. This is a well thought-out policy for using private sector appointments. The five divisions are led by controllers and headquarters, and in every center, a general manager is head, supported by managers of five functional departments. The number of directors shall not be less than seven including the Managing Director and the Chairman.

Founded on November 26, 1964, by an international NEC company from Japan under license from the Government of Pakistan, PTV is the first television broadcasting network in Pakistan and currently operates under government ownership management from the Government of Pakistan. Although initially under private ownership management, PTV was integrated under government ownership in a nationalization program in 1970, after failing to generate targeted revenues. PTV is one of broadcasting network infrastructure and broadcast media division in the cities of Pakistan and abroad. For much of the 20th century, PTV enjoyed a dominant position in the media until the early 21st century and is one of the two major television networks in the country.

The end of the PTV monopoly in 2000 caused an explosion in electronic media in Pakistan, which gained greater political influence in the country's political spectrum. In 2016, PTV competes with other private television channels and remains an important asset of the Government of Pakistan.

Historical context

The idea of ​​establishing the media and television industry was conceived at the end of 1956 and was made by a privately-formed national education commission, with the support of President Ayub Khan in 1960. In 1961, private sector media mogul and industrialist Syed Wajid Ali launched the television industry development project , brought the role of Ubaidur Rahman, an electrical engineer at the Pakistan Radio Engineering Division, as the director of the first television station project in Lahore. Ali reached a milestone in 1961 after establishing a private television broadcasting company with the cooperation of Nippon Electric Company (NEC) of Japan and Thomas Television International of England.

In 1963, a public meeting was chaired by President Ayub Khan; in which the government makes decisions about Pakistan's television stations and the media industry in the country. Since 1963, its headquarters are in Islamabad, near the Cabinet Secretariat. From 1961 to 1962, a television headquarters was set up in Lahore and several transmission trials were conducted by Rahman's team. Furthermore, many television divisions were established throughout Pakistan by this team, including East-Pakistan.

First broadcast and private ownership

On November 26, 1964, after the introduction by Syed Wajid Ali, the first ever news broadcast to be broadcast as a black and white transmission by PTV. The first program, formatted by Thomas Television International, a television amateur program with foreign film; the television division in Punjab Province was established with the help of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), Colombo Plan, and the Government of Japan. Aslam Azhar (1932 - 29 Dec 2015) was appointed as the first Managing Director of Pakistan Television responsible for all employment requirements at the first PTV Lahore Center. Managing Director and first executive Aslam Azhar is widely regarded as "the father of Pakistan television". Private industry ads are allowed at no cost; initially all advertising industrial conglomerates are tax free at no additional cost.

PTV remains under private sector management with more than half of its shares sold to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting for fear that all shares will fall into the hands of the government on behalf of the larger interests of the country. President Ayub Khan appointed Ubaidur Rahman at the Ministry of Information to continue NEC's partnership in the launch of PTV.

The project started with a tent on the back of Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation by Ubaidur Rahman where the transmission tower and a studio were built by his team. On 26 November 1964, President Ayub Khan inaugurated the first official television station to start broadcast transmission from Lahore, followed by Dacca on December 25, 1964 (then the East Pakistani capital), a third center established in Rawalpindi and Islamabad in 1965 and fourth in Karachi 1966. On May 29, 1967, a private company was established as a Pakistan Television Corporation under the Companies Act, 1913, while the private sector remains accused of broadcasting on television. At that time, all Studio programs were shown "LIVE" as no available VTR Recording engine, available in 1968.

Pakistan Nationalization Television

After the Indo-Pakistan war in 1971, PTV was nationalized and brought fully under the management of government ownership by the government of President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. The expansion of communication networks is vast by PTV and the government has publicly funded the expansion of its infrastructure across the country.

Local literary promotions, science fiction miniseries, country music, and romance of rural values ​​in drama playwrights are aired by PTV, on the orders of public funding by the Government of Pakistan. PTV is considered a major source of national integration.

PTV transmission switched from black and white transmission to its original color in 1975. PTV's regional headquarters and television center were set up in Peshawar and Quetta in 1974. In 1977-78, PTV broadcasted a live Cricket game between Britain and Pakistan.. During this time, the programming series of PTV interviews brought many scientists, politicians, sportsmen, actors, musicians, and artists to public fame.

Television program

In the 1980s, PTV transmission could reach over 90% of Pakistan's territory. In the 1980s, PTV was the sole television provider, and dominated the electronic media industry. During the 1980s, conservative ideas were promoted to PTV as part of government policy, and major investments were made on the promotion of educational programming series.

Selama dekade dasawarsa 1970-an, 1980-an dan 1990-an, drama dan teleklam PTV dianggap sebagai yang terbaik di Asia Selatan.

In the 1990s, the PTV program was said to have initially intellectual appeal but succumbed to commercial pressures. In 1992, the composition of the PTV program was based on 56% entertainment, and only 25% of news and educational programs. About 54% of national programs are based on Urdu and only 16% are recorded for English. In response to challenges by private channels such as STN and NTM as well as Indian channels, PTV launched transnational transmissions in Bangladesh, India, Iran, Gulf States and the United States in 1992.

State capital revenue

Unlike other state-run companies, Pakistan Television Corporation is allowed by the Government of Pakistan to raise large amounts of private capital to finance these stations. This includes Rs. 35 per month TV cost charges for all electric consumers.

Some criticisms of policy

• Punjabi is spoken by the vast majority of Punjab provinces as well as in other parts of Pakistan, but PTV does not have its own separate TV channel in Punjabi. Pakistan TV made its announcement in Urdu, the national language. The Punjabi language is being marginalized by PTV according to some critics. However, Mani TV TV Pakistan Center in Punjab, Pakistan began broadcasting some of its programs in Saraiki local languages ​​several years ago. Some music PTV programs are also broadcast in Punjabi from PTV-Lahore Center.
