42 Golden Years of PTV - Part 2 of 7

Pakistan Television (PTV) entertained millions of viewers in Pakistan all alone from 1964 to 1990. It was PTV who created classic dramas, shows, music & much much more. PTV change the shape of entertainment in Pakistan forever. PTV dramas literally emptied the roads of Pakistan. From historical to classic, from fictional to non-fictional, from serious to comedy, PTV dramas still reminds us that this is a real drama. Although in this age of cable & satellite channels when we have more than 100 channels on our TV who are transmitting 24/7, there was a time when entire Pakistan would switch on its TV from 8pm to 9pm to watch a PTV drama. We still remember those characters that made us laugh, cry & ran a chill in our spine. Those characters became our family members & they entertained us very well.
On November 26th 1964, Pakistan Television (PTV) started its transmission in Pakistan & still growing stronger. Regardless of being a government department, PTV produced the best work in country that is unmatched by any other government department. On November 26th 2006, as PTV turned 40 years old, a show was telecast about PTV's history. It was written by Anwar Maqsood & hosted by Moin Akhtar. In this show, some rare seen footage was
telecast about PTV & classic Black & White clips from 60s to the late 90s.

In this 2nd part, you can see how PTV changed its course as power in the country changed in the late 60's & early 70's. Also during the elections of 1970, PTV for the 1st time setup an Election City from where election results were announced 24 hours a day along with entertainment programs. You can also view clips of patriotic songs as sung by Shahnaz Begum.

@falsa99 No need to be disappointed. Mayoosi gunah hay. True our view about our country has changed but hey, thats because the world has changed and is changing even more. The best we can do is to make our every little contribution towards the betterment of our country and people. Pakistan is a country of 180 million people and 99% of them are patriotic. Don't loose your courage just because of a few corrupt, coward, selfish and impotent bastards. Pakistan Zindabad
