The network has broadcast all over the world.[4][5][6] Naik regards the network as a 'edutainment' channel.[7] Peace TV was also available free-to-air on the LiveStation satellite television provider.[8]
On the basis of hate-speech laws, Naik's Peace TV was banned from broadcasting in India, Bangladesh, Canada, Sri Lanka, and the United Kingdom.[9][10][11] Though Dr. Zakir already said that who are calling the speech as 'hate-speech' they are actually taking some lines of speech out of context https://youtu.be/gImSY8GtCWo?si=6RUB_PoM4wgpcDxm.Despite the ban, Peace TV has reached 200 million viewers.[12] Nevertheless, as of August 2019, Peace TV's app was still available in the banned countries, including India, via a free app in the Google Play Store that had been downloaded more than 100,000 times.[13]
