History
The channel was established in October 2004 and owned by Karim Rajpar and Ajeet Kumar Ahuja, Dolphin Media House. It began test transmission in October 2004, with regular transmission beginning that month. It was the first private satellite channel which was banned by the military rule of General Perwaiz Mushraf in November 2006, because of its bold pro democracy and pro people content. It has always supported the marginalized and oppressed segments of the society. The senior journalists working with Sindh TV Network include Fayaz Naich, Shoib Qureshi, Atta Rajar, Nida Abro, Sabeen Memon, Shoukat Noonari and others. Imran Chandio is the program manager.
