Since its inception in 1964, TV has become a part of our lives. PTV was a state owned body. Many entertaining and informative programs were shown on TV. As it was state owned, its policy changed with every change in government which was very often.
PTV aired the programs and news it wanted the viewers to watch. However in 1989, the monopoly of PTV ended when private channel STN was issued license. Since then there has been no turning back. With licenses being issued, TV channels cropped up just as mosquitoes crop up during rains.
