Pakistan Television (PTV) is to launch its PTV Global channel on Sky Digital next Monday (April 2). The channel first launched in the United States in April 2006 with the aim of providing news, current affairs and entertainment to the Pakistani community.
The channel will be broadcast free-to-air from the 28 degrees East position and the broadcaster hopes that this will encourage viewing across the European continent.
PTV Global will face competition from Prime TV, on air since 1998 and initially known as PTV Prime, the channel was established as part of Telenor’s Colourvision project.
