NATIONAL
BROADCASTING SERVICE
ISLAMABAD
In the background of fast
moving events around the world, it was felt that the audience needed to be kept
informed with the latest events. For this purpose a News and Current Affairs
Channel (NCAC) was launched on April 18, 2001. It was the only channel of its
kind in Asia.
News and Current Affairs Channel (NCAC)
was converted into Current Affairs Channel (CAC) and then in 28th August
2008 it is converted into National Broadcasting Service (NBS).
The National Broadcasting Service provides its listeners seventeen hours of programmes of views on current
subjects, through analysis commentaries and discussions, along with regular News
Bulletins, Sports News, Business Updates and Stock Market Reports. A network of
11 stations of the PBC carries the NBS programmes.
