The Information and Broadcasting Division informed the Cabinet that Pakistan Television Corporation (PTVC) is now a national broadcaster. Its primary goal was to give the people of Pakistan credible and accurate information, education, and entertainment.

It boasts a network of satellite channels that people watched people from all walks of life.

 PTV Sports is one of Pakistan Television Corporation’s most popular sports and revenue-generating networks. It acquires worldwide and live sports broadcasting and streaming rights and content from foreign companies.

Meanwhile, Indian broadcasters held the majority of live content rights in South Asia. As a result, sublicensing the rights for the relevant territory from these parent broadcasters became unavoidable for PTV Sports.

Moreover, the Federal Government imposed an embargo on trade with India and Indian firms, as the Ministry of Commerce announced in S.R.O.902(1)/2020, dated September 25, 2020.

As a result of the ban in the Import Policy Order, PTVC was having difficulty securing broadcasting rights from Indian corporations and paying them.
