The Need for Live TV, Wherever You Are

Living outside Pakistan makes you realize how much of your daily rhythm used to revolve around local news, especially on TV. The 9 PM bulletin, the scrolling tickers, the heated debates on talk shows—love them or hate them—they were a part of our daily lives.

I’m Atif, and like many Pakistanis abroad, I now live in Sweden. It’s beautiful here, but nothing matches the emotional chaos of a live Pakistani news broadcast. The anchors arguing, the breaking news banners flashing every few minutes, and yes, even the “breaking” news that isn’t really breaking—it all hits differently.

Why Live TV Still Matters

Even in the age of social media and YouTube, live news coverage has a unique importance. On election nights, during major court rulings, or when political twists unfold, live TV gives you the full picture in real time, not just the edited highlights.

But watching Pakistani TV channels abroad is harder than it should be. You either:

  • End up searching random websites
  • Land on pages that no longer work

It’s frustrating—especially when all you want is a quick, reliable stream of what’s happening back home.

So I Built a Simple Solution

Since I was already building PakStream to stream Pakistani FM radio and curate reliable YouTube journalists, I decided to add live TV channels too.

Just like the radio and Free Press sections, my goal was to make it:

  • Clean
  • One-click easy

No spammy redirects. No broken players. Just working links to popular Pakistani news channels, all in one place.

My Go-To Channels

Currently, the live TV section includes channels I personally check most:

  • Geo News
  • ARY News
  • Express News
  • BOL News
  • GNN
  • SAMAA TV
  • 24 News
  • PTV News
  • HUM News
  • Dunya News
  • 92 News

Each opens in a separate, mobile-friendly player, so whether you’re at work, commuting, or relaxing at home, you’re one click away from the headlines.

Built for People Like Us

PakStream isn’t backed by sponsors, media houses, or advertisers. It’s simply something I built to stay connected to Pakistan in a meaningful way.

Whether you’re in Europe, the Middle East, North America, or anywhere else, I know many of you feel the same—we want to stay informed without the headache of chasing links every time there’s breaking news.

Suggest a Channel—Let’s Build Together

If there’s a Pakistani TV channel you love that isn’t listed, let me know in the comments. I’d be happy to add it so others can benefit.

This is a community-driven project. The more we collaborate, the better the experience for everyone.

Final Words

PakStream began as a personal project, but it’s growing into a digital corner for Pakistanis abroad. First radio, then YouTubers, now live TV—and more to come.

So go ahead. Bookmark it. Share it. Use it during your morning chai or late-night news scroll.

Let’s keep the connection alive—one click at a time.
