24 Digital (Template:Lang-ur) is an Urdu language current affairs news television channel based in Lahore, Pakistan, and launched in 2015.[1][2] The channel is owned by Mohsin Naqvi who is the founder of City News Group.

History

24 News was founded as a current affairs-focused channel in 2015 by Mohsin Naqvi.[1] The channel introduced a new format focusing on in-depth analysis and talk shows rather than continuous news bulletins.[1] Naqvi recruited a team of senior journalists and news anchors to implement this approach.[1] However, the channel faced challenges in attracting advertisers and received low 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] The introduction of the new format coincided with a decline in the news media industry in Pakistan.[1] Also, the format was different from the original model of City Media Group, which focused on providing local news and relied on local advertisers rather than national corporations.[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]
