Is our media really unbiased?
Are the news reporters and journalists who we look towards to find out what is happening in our beloved homeland really presenting a factual and objective picture? Or are there hidden puppet masters in the background with their own personal agendas who control what we watch in order to manipulate our emotions in order to reach their own secret goals?
Knowing who owns the media outlets can help us form an opinion. Here we present a list of Pakistani Television channels along with their owners…

There are many mistakes in this list. Following are a few of them:
1.Ten Sports is owned by Zee TV
2. Oye TV is not functional now
3. CNBC News and CNBC Pakistan were never two different channels. There was only one channel and that channel is too non-functional
4. Waqt TV and Waqt News are not two channels
5. TV One and TV Global are not two channels
5. WB, CNN, Peace TV, Ten Sports and BBC are not Pakistani channels
6. Azan TV? Is that even a channel?
7. Play TV, Kook TV, Value TV, Mashriq TV, Express 24/7, Aag TV are history now and not functional.
Zee tv is also owned by TAJ TV coz taj tv is a pakistan channels ditributor every country has its own ten sports belonging to different distributors :)
The difference between print media and the electronic media is that every piece of news published is thoroughly evaluated for its authenticity by professional editors. But on channels, a reporter appears live with a mike and a camera and no professional editing is done. The reporter himself sometimes is not trained enough and perhaps is not enough educated to talk live speaking directly to the viewer. In this case he must be very well mannered, good in words selection and unbiased. A training system must be introduced by an academic institution certifying reporters for excellence before sending them to the field.
That also means that print media prints filtered news. Which means you can bribe editors and they have almost 12 hours time to control and dictate what will be published and not. Social media is free media. No control or dictation. After that electronic media is better and worst is print media.
