Dawn News
is Pakistan's first 24-hour English news channel. Based in Karachi, the
station is a subsidiary of Pakistan Herald Publications Limited (PHPL),
Pakistan's largest English-language media group. The test transmission
of the station occurred in May 25 2007, and the channel went live on
July 23, 2007.
Dawn News' Test Transmission was
launched by former President of Pakistan, Pervez Musharraf. The complete
launch of the channel coincided with the result of the Supreme Court
case which cleared the Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, who had
been suspended by General Musharraf. The channel was initially housed
in Haroon House, the head-office of PHPL, but later moved to its current
premises in West Wharf, Karachi.
The channel has an online stream available on its web site for foreign viewing.
