AJK TV is a global basic cable and satellite sports television channel owned by PTV
AJK TV is a Pakistani television channel owned by the Pakistan Television Corporation. The channel was established on 5 February 2004 after the Azad Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly requested a separate channel for Azad Jammu Kashmir.

PTV has several channels including PTV Home and PTV News. PTV Home is a 24 hour entertainment channel, and PTV News is a news and sports channel. Both channels are delivered by satellite and terrestrial networks. PTV home broadcasts national and international sports across the world.
PTV’s primary objective is to provide educational content for Pakistanis. The network also aims to project government policies and important international events. It also broadcasts live marathons on special occasions. However, the channel needs to provide more than what it has already delivered, and improve in areas it has left unattended.
PTV also co-produces shows with other countries to strengthen bilateral relations. The necessary arrangements are made through the Ministry of Information and Media Development and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These programmes can be viewed for half the price of local ones and provide viewers with a wider cultural experience.
