Several cable and satellite providers offer Pakistani channels, including GEO TV,[49] ARY Digital,[50] and PTV.[51] Others have offered Pakistani content for subscription, such as when Pakistan played Australia for the Cricket World Cup in 1999. In July 2005, MTV premiered a spin-off network called MTV Desi which targets South Asian Americans in the US, including Pakistanis.[52] MTV Desi closed operations as part of the shutdown of MTV World in April 2007.[53]
