This image shows Pakistan's first television station.

Television in Pakistan was introduced in 1964.

The country's first TV station was located in a small bungalow building in Lahore. It was set up with the help of technicians and trainers from Japan's Nippon Corporation.

Nippon and a Pakistani industrialist, Syed Wajid Ali, held the majority of the shares in the project.

The channel was called Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) and pilot projects were also launched in Karachi and Rawalpindi.
