Kawish Television Network (KTN) is the first private Sindhi TV channel in Pakistan. It is the most-watched private Sindhi-language general entertainment television channel worldwide. The channel is part of the Kawish Group.[1]

History

[edit]

The channel was founded by Muhammad Aslam Kazi in 2002 and started with 6 hours of transmission.[2] It has now grown from a small regional-language channel to the leading Satellite Channel of Pakistan, broadcasting 24 hours a day to areas of South Asia, Middle, and Far East Asia. It also started the first-ever music channel in the Sindhi language, KASHISH TV. After that, in October 2007, KTN News started airing, covering news, current affairs programs, talk shows, documentaries, and reports.

KTN Group

[edit]

The most popular and most widely distributed Sindhi newspaper, Daily Kawish, is also part of the same group.

  • Kashish, a music channel, is part of the KTN network.
  • KTN NEWS, news and current affairs channel, airing 24-hour bulletins and talk shows.
  • Chaalis Channel, regional entertainment channel, 24-hour movies and dramas.
  • Platform Productions is a major distributor of television content to KTN and "Kuch Reh Jeewiyal Pall", Alif Laila being some of the best shows that are part of the Platform Productions collection.

Revolution

[edit]

KTN has also brought a revolution in regional-language channels in Pakistan and has given rise to other Sindhi and regional-language channels in the near past.

It also brought a new wave and genre of shows in the regional and Sindhi television world with a new show titled "Kuch Reh Jeewiyal Pall", which is doing very well and has gathered high audience interest. This show completed 100 episodes on Friday, 4 May 2007, which in itself is a landmark in the Sindhi television industry.

KTN currently has established its mark in the 6-6:30 pm time slot with a daily show, Alif Laila, based on the famous Arabian Nights.
