History
Dunya News began transmission in 2008.[5] The channel is known for a center-right news policy orientation.[1] It has also been involved in controversy known as Mediagate.
Dunya News broadcast Pakistan's two most popular satirical news programs, Hasb-e-Haal and Mazaaq Raat.[1] Hasb-e-Haal has been a ratings hit for the channel, with the deft, often bitingly subtle comedy of the actor Sohail Ahmed resonating with a large audience. Mazaaq Raat consists of an ensemble cast and is hosted by Vasay Chaudhry. It is shot in front of a live studio audience.
Since August 2015, it has made the show Dunya Kamran Khan Kay Sath, hosted by the veteran journalist Kamran Khan (currently president and editor-in-chief of Dunya Media Group).[6][2][3]
