Analysis of PTV News Channel

Introduction:
PTV News (formerly PTV World) is a 24-hour state news channel in Pakistan. It provides news in English and Urdu to the Pakistani community worldwide. It also provides News in Arabic/Sindhi/ Gujrati /Pashto/Kashmiri/Gojri /Balti /Shena. It's the only Government News channel of Pakistan so because of this many people criticize its unfair news reporting like this news channel is always in the favor of current Government. Until 2007, PTV News was known as PTV World News.

Mission Statement: Sach Zimendari kay Sach (Facts with responsibility)

Competitive Analysis:
Gallup Pakistan’s TV Ratings Services, 8.6 million Pakistanis have watched PM Online aired on PTV News & Samaa TV on 1st March 2011. Not so surprisingly 80% of these 8.6 million Pakistanis hailed from rural areas and only 20 % from urban areas. According to Gallup Media Research experts the number is very sizeable in comparison with other High Ratings Programs in the country. The prime reason for such a high figure appears to be near monopoly of PTV in Rural TV viewers of Pakistan. Furthermore, a sizeable number (2-3 million Urban Men and Women) do not have access to Cable Channels and therefore have PTV News as there only available channel. The figure contradicts the prevalent view in the country that Cable Televisions are the only source of information in the country and PTV has lost its relevance.

    Evaluating the Role of the Media in the British General Election 2010

    Television is a very powerful media form, as “more than 90% of the UK TV homes already have digital” (The Guardian Online 2010) shows that we are relatively dependant on having television in our day-to-day lives. Television as a media form is the most powerful source of information for the average person, as the news is on hourly on a large variety of channels, reporting news from all over the world. There are even specific channels that viewers can tune into to receive specialist television programs, like BBC Parliament, where viewers can watch the House of Commons live from the comfort of their own homes.…

    Are Commercial Current Affairs Programs ‘Dumbing Down’ Public Discourse in Australia?

    There has been much speculation about the increasing diminishment of television news audiences and the rising prevalence of Internet news consumers. Despite the claims that the Internet will one day overthrow the dominance of television, presently it remains as the ‘most consumed form of journalism’ (Cushion 2012, p. 5). The power and influence that television exerts over our lives as Errington and Miragliotta argue is due to its ‘ubiquity, the limited obstacles to access and usage, the high level of intimacy with the viewer and its large scale reach’ rendering it ‘one of the most powerful media’ (2011, p. 44). Given the pervasiveness of television in our everyday lives and its dominant role in telling people the news; we should examine how effectively the mass media serve the public interest by informing the population of the important issues outside of their immediate personal experience.…

    Public Service Broadcasting

    To begin with, it is crucial here that the key reason for PSB to exist is that it has purposes that differ from the state-controlled broadcasting model and the profit-oriented commercial one. Thus, the principal is to benefit not any commercial or political interests but the public. Moreover, the goals of PSB are not only different from, but also complementary to, the activities of the private sector, which seems to be driven by only one ambition -targeting the largest possible audiences through the most attractive content with no respect for public interest.…

    Another group of TV programs is news programs. Channels belonging to this group tend to be professional, topical, and forecast weather news. Those who like news usually watch local and international news channels, such as CNN, NBC, or FOX. The news programs also have contents of information and reports about many different fields like policy, economics, and culture. Most children don’t like to watch these channels and some adult viewers that like to relax after a long day at work would rather choose a more entertaining channel because news programs have just elaborate numbers and topical information. However, news channels bring a lot of useful information. Most of news channels’ viewers are economists, businessmen, and politicians.…

    Doordarshan - Case Study

    The first decades of television in India revolved around Doordarshan since it was the only television channel. As private channels became more visible and viewership increased the picture changed dramatically. These channels took away more and more of the audiences with glossy programs and slickly presented news. With complacence setting in, Doordarshan sometimes telecasted shoddy programs in terms of content and technical presentation. One major factor in compounding the problem was Doordarshan was made a part of the autonomous corporation called Prasar Bharati. In the last quarter of 1999 Mckinsey made a study of the condition of public service broadcasters around the world and how they were faring in the midst of the plethora of emerging private channels. They concluded that public channels were shaping audience preferences. However, Doordarshan was not even considered among the PSBs they studied worldwide. Problem What is the audience perception of doordarshan as a channel? How does it fare among the budding private channels in the urban sector? Will it regain its name and fame through an extensive process of rebranding /repositioning? Put yourself in the shoes of a marketer and help to resurrect the brand with innovative methodologies. Background DOORDARSHAN (Prasar Bharati) is the National Public Service TV Broadcaster of India. It is the only terrestrial television broadcasting in the country. Doordharshan has a vast network of over 1400 transmitters of various capacities that provides two nationwide terrestrial channels namely Doordharshan national and Doordharshan news and 31 satellite channels including regional services. Doordharshan – National has a terrestrial reach to 91% of population in India. Doordharshan also operates a free t air DTH service in the county, which at present provides 59 free to air TV channels and 21 radio channels. On September 15 2009, it completed…
