Tribune 24/7 (previously Express 24/7) was an English language television news channel headquartered in Karachi, Pakistan. The channel was owned by the Lakson Group.
It was the second English-language television channel to be established in Pakistan, with Dawn News being the first. After Dawn News shifted to Urdu broadcasts in February 2010, Express 24/7 remained the only 24-hour English-language news channel in Pakistan until its closure in November 2011. The Express 24/7 CEO, Sultan Lakhani, cited the dismal economic condition and insufficient number of advertisement as the main reasons behind the closure. With the shutdown of Express 24/7, the era of local English news channels in Pakistan comes to an end. Subsequently, BBC News and CNN returned to being the only TV source for English news in Pakistan.[1] A state owned English news channel PTV World was launched in 2013 and was the only English news channel in Pakistan till the relaunch of Express 24/7 as Tribune 24/7 in 2018.
It again shut down in 2019.[2]
