Aaj TV
AAJ News TV is a 24 hour Pakistani news television channel. AAJ News was initially started on March 23, 2005 by the Business Recorder Group. The Business Recorder Group is one of the most prominent media conglomerates in Pakistan.

One of the major achievements in entertainment programming is its one of its kind “The late night show with Begum Nawazish Ali aired on Saturday every week. The show is based on the idea of a male host in disguise of a rich feminist portraying a page-3 elite of the country. The host takes interviews of some very prominent figures from within country talking broadly about the socio-economic issues of the nation.
Another popular show is a program called the 4 Man Show. It is a show with 4 ‘anchors’ (hence the title) giving the news and taking interviews with ‘political leaders’ (actors with cheap make-up). However it is deeply immersed in comedy and political satire and is a ‘loose cannon’ meaning no one is immune (sometimes even themselves).
On April 22, 2007 The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) has served a show-cause notice on Aaj News, for airing news, talk shows and other programmes on the current judicial crisis and threatened it with closure.
