Samaa TV HD (Template:Langx) is a Pakistani Urdu language news channel owned by a Pakistani politician, Aleem Khan.[1][2]
The word 'Samaa' ("سما") is Urdu for 'sky' or 'heaven' (ultimately derived from the Arabic "سماء"). It is broadcast simultaneously from five major cities of Pakistan – Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Quetta and Peshawar.[3][4]
History
Samaa TV was founded in 2007 by Jaag Broadcasting Systems by Zafar Siddiqi who also founded CNBC Pakistan.[3][5]
In 2012, Samaa encountered a controversy when a program host conducted a raid on a couple in a park to question their morality. The incident led to the host's dismissal and an official apology from the network.[6]
In 2020, Samaa TV was acquired by a federal minister, Aleem Khan, through his subsidiary real estate company, Park View Limited.[3][7]
In 2022, Samaa TV producer Athar Mateen was killed during a robbery in North Nazimabad Karachi.[8]
