24 Digital (Urdu:٢۴ ڈیجیٹل) is anUrdu language current affairs news television channel based inLahore,Pakistan, and launched in 2015.[1][2] The channel is owned byMohsin Naqvi who is the founder of City News Group.
24 News was founded as acurrent affairs-focused channel in 2015 byMohsin Naqvi.[1] The channel introduced a new format focusing on in-depth analysis andtalk shows rather than continuousnews bulletins.[1] Naqvi recruited a team of seniorjournalists andnews anchors to implement this approach.[1] The introduction of the new format coincided with a decline in thenews media industry in Pakistan and accordingly faced challenges in attractingadvertisers and receivedlow ratings.[1] There was also pressure to provide more traditional news coverage.[1] Consequently, Naqvi decided to change the format of 24 News to a conventional 24-hour news channel.[1]
In July 2020, Pemra suspended the license of television channel 24 News with immediate effect for "illegal transmission of news and current affairs content."[3] Pemra stated that the channel, originally licensed as Value TV to Central Media Network, had unlawfully rebranded itself as 24 News.[3]
