History

PTV Home started broadcasting on 26 November 1964 in West Pakistan and on 25 December 1964 in East Pakistan (the current Bangladesh). The broadcasts were limited to Lahore and Dacca at first (the Dhaka station would later become a part of Bangladesh Television upon Bangladesh's independence in 1971), before extending to Rawalpindi and Islamabad in 1965 and Karachi in 1966. The Lahore station moved from channel 9 to channel 5 in November 1968, increasing its power. The basic PTV network was completed in 1974, after the start of the microwave network in 1973, and ahead of the start of color broadcasts in 1975. Peshawar was able to create programming and had taping facilities, but used the Quetta transmitter. In the 90s, the channel was renamed PTV 1, and by 2000 was broadcasting 18 hours a day. The content of the schedule varied for terrestrial and satellite viewers.
