Aaj News (Urdu: آج نیوز, lit. 'Today News') is a 24-hour Pakistani news television channel. It is a privately owned Urdu language TV station which covers national and international news. The channel started out as hybrid channel (news, current affairs and entertainment), but later separated its entertainment programming to sister channel, Aaj Entertainment, and became a news channel.[1][2][3]

History

Aaj News was started on 23 March 2005 by The Business Recorder Television Network, subsidiary of Business Recorder Group which also operates Aaj Entertainment.[4]

On 22 April 2007, PEMRA served a show-cause notice to Aaj News, for violating the 2002 PEMRA Ordinance by airing news and talk shows on an issue pending with the Supreme Judicial Council and unable to present a NOC from the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting.[5]

On 23 March 2009, Aaj News was converted into a 24-hours news channel.[6] The Recorder Television Network comprises Aaj News and Aaj Entertainment.[7]
