History and Milestones of Radio Pakistan

History was in the making when the first time the words “This is Radio Pakistan” were spoken instead of “This is All India Radio” by Zahoor Azhar and Mustafa Ali Hamdani. The announcement was being made by the Pakistan Broadcasting Service (PBS) which later designated as Radio Pakistan. Therefore, Radio Pakistan came into existence at the same time as Pakistan.

Useful Information about Radio Pak

Soon after, Radio Pakistan entitled as the first official and most listening broadcaster of Pakistan. That was the time when Pakistan Television was not launched as yet.

Later on, in 1972, Radio Pak was converted into a body corporate under an ordinance issued by the President of Pakistan, Mr. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. In the same year on April 27, the foundation stone of PBC headquarters building was also laid by the President.

When in 1973, the new constitution of the country had been formed and brought into the effect; the parliament passed the PBC Act 1973.

In 1997 Federal minister of Information inaugurated the computerization of the PBC news processing system and availability of the news bulletins on the Internet in text and audio form as well which are available at the official site of Radio Pakistan.

Radio Pakistan officially started its FM transmissions in October 1998 with the inauguration of the FM-101 radio station in PBC Islamabad and soon after it expands to new FM regular stations set up at Gawadar‚ Mianwali‚ Sargodha‚ Kohat‚ Bannu‚ and Mithi.

At the moment, Radio Pak is broadcasting its programs in 23 local and international languages.

At August 2014, studios each at Lahore and Peshawar radio stations were dedicated to Mustafa Ali Hamdani and Aftab Ahmed respectively. They were first announcers who announced the big news of the creation of Pakistan from Radio Pak, at midnight, on 13th August 1947.

After the inclusion of Pakistan Television, Private sector TV broadcastings and FM radio, the popularity of Radio Pak is not high as it was in the early days but still with the largest broadcasting network, its performance is quite phenomenal.
