channels showing news and entertainment, such as GEO TV,
AAJ TV, ARY Digital, HUM, MTV Pakistan, and others.

operas, some of them critically acclaimed. Various American,
European, Asian TV channels, and movies are available to a
majority of the population via Cable TV. Television accounted
for almost half of the advertising expenditure in Pakistan in
