PTV to charge TV channels for telecasting parliament proceedings: minister

ISLAMABAD —A proposal has been finalized to charge private television channels for the live telecast of the parliament proceedings, Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry said during a meeting of the Senate committee.

The private TV channels would have to pay for showing the content of the PTV Parliament so that the state-owned channel could be run on a sustainable model through income generation.

The minister also presented an example of the BBC charging 100 pounds for its services.
