History

Aaj News was initially started on 23 March 2005 by Recorder Television Network, subsidiary of Business Recorder Group.[4]

The Business Recorder Group is the parent company of Business Recorder newspaper and Apex Printery, the only non-government organization to print financial and legal papers in Pakistan.

On 22 April 2007, PEMRA served a show-cause notice to Aaj News, for violating the 2002 PEMRA Ordinance by airing news and talk shows on an issue pending with the Supreme Judicial Council and unable to present a NOC from the Ministry of Information & Broadcasting. [5]

On 23 March 2009, Aaj News was converted into a 24-hours news channel.[6] The Recorder Television Network comprises Aaj News and Aaj Entertainment. [7]
