A day after Pakistan’s independence, the Pakistan Broadcasting Corporation (PBC) was launched. PBC was considered a direct descendant of the Indian Broadcasting Company. In its initial days, PBC has three radio stations, in Dhaka, Peshawar and Lahore.

Simultaneously the Dawn newspaper, which remains Pakistan’s most read and circulated English-language daily, relocated its headquarters to Karachi and went to print.

Daily Jang, which is the most widely-circulated Urdu newspaper of Pakistan, also started publishing from Karachi.
