Perspective

PTV Home started broadcasting on 26 November 1964[2][3] in West Pakistan and on 25 December 1964 in East Pakistan (the current Bangladesh).[4] 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.[2] The Lahore station moved from channel 9 to channel 5 in November 1968, increasing its power.[5] 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.[6]
