Kawish Television Network (KTN) is the first private Sindhi TV channel in Pakistan. It is the most-watched private Sindhi-language general entertainment television channel worldwide. The channel is part of the Kawish Group.
The channel was founded by Muhammad Aslam Kazi in 2002 and started with 6 hours of transmission. It has now grown from a small regional-language channel to the leading satellite channel of Pakistan, broadcasting 24 hours a day to areas of South Asia, Middle, and Far East Asia. It also started the first-ever music channel in the Sindhi language, Kashish TV. After that, in October 2007, KTN News started airing, covering news, current affairs programs, talk shows, documentaries, and reports.
The Sindhi-language newspaper, Daily Kawish, is also part of the same group.
KTN has also brought a revolution in regional-language channels in Pakistan and has given rise to other Sindhi and regional-language channels in the near past.
It also brought a new wave and genre of shows in the regional and Sindhi television world with a new show titled "Kuch Reh Jeewiyal Pall", which is doing very well and has gathered high audience interest. This show completed 100 episodes on Friday, 4 May 2007, which in itself is a landmark in the Sindhi television industry.
KTN currently has established its mark in the 6-6:30 pm time slot with a daily show, Alif Laila, based on the famous Arabian Nights.
Munir Ahmed Sangi, a cameraman for KTN, was shot while covering a gunfight between members of the Unar and Abro tribes in the town of Larkana, Sindh in 2006.
In 2020, Aziz Memon, a journalist for KTN and Sindhi-language Daily Kawish was found dead with wire tied around his neck. He had been threatened by a local politician.
