24 Digital (Urdu: ٢۴ ڈیجیٹل) is an Urdu language current affairs news television channel based in Lahore, Pakistan, and launched in 2015. 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. The channel introduced a new format focusing on in-depth analysis and talk shows rather than continuous news bulletins. Naqvi recruited a team of senior journalists and news anchors to implement this approach. The introduction of the new format coincided with a decline in the news media industry in Pakistan and accordingly faced challenges in attracting advertisers and received low ratings. There was also pressure to provide more traditional news coverage. Consequently, Naqvi decided to change the format of 24 News to a conventional 24-hour news channel.
In July 2020, Pemra suspended the license of television channel 24 News with immediate effect for "illegal transmission of news and current affairs content." Pemra stated that the channel, originally licensed as Value TV to Central Media Network, had unlawfully rebranded itself as 24 News.
