State-owned Pakistan Television Corporation PTV achieved its “highest-ever” revenue target of Rs4 billion, Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry said Wednesday.
In a tweet, Chaudhry said the PTV was bankrupt when the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government took its reins. Since coming to power in 2018, the government digitalised two channels and introduced an effective business model for the state broadcaster, he added.
“Today PTV is among the [cash bleeding] state institutions [turned] into profit-making entities,” the minister said.
