- PTV was conceived in 1956 and launched in 1964 with the support of President Ayub Khan and private sector investors.
- The first television station was established in Lahore, followed by stations in Dhaka (now Bangladesh), Rawalpindi, Islamabad, and Karachi.
- PTV was initially privately managed but was nationalized in 1971 after the Indo-Pakistani war.
- During the 1970s and 1980s, PTV expanded its transmission area, established regional headquarters, and introduced color transmission.
- PTV played a significant role in promoting national integration, education, and culture through its programming.
- In the 1990s, PTV faced challenges from private channels and Indian channels, leading to the launch of its second channel, PTV-2 (later renamed PTV World).
- Today, PTV is a major source of entertainment, education, and news for the Pakistani population, with a significant presence in Europe and North America.
- However, PTV has also been criticized for censorship, particularly in its coverage of parliamentary sessions and speeches by opposition leaders.
