Ptv Project

PREFACE
Internship is pre-requisite for completion of a course of Masters in Business Administration. In
this regard the department gave me the choice to choose an organization. No doubt PTV was my
first choice on the following basis.

1. As PTV is a well-known organization not only in Pakistan but also around the
world, for it is the only organization, which claims to provide family
entertainment, education and information.

2. As I am doing my specialization in Finance which is more relevant to this huge


organization.

In order to analyze the theoretical knowledge, which I have gained through two years study in
this department, with the practical knowledge, I spend two month in PTV Islamabad center.

I studied the structure of PTV Islamabad center and emphasized more on the Finance,
Administration and personnel departments. In spite of the shortage of time, lack of printed
material and hesitation of high officials in disclosing the required information, I managed to have
a short but comprehensive analytic study of this organization.

INTRODUCTION

Pakistan entered into Television Broadcasting age with a small pilot TV Station established at
Lahore from where transmission was first beamed in Black & White with effect from 26
November 1964. Television centers were established in Karachi and Rawalpindi/Islamabad in
1967 and in Peshawar and Quetta in 1974

While introducing the sophisticated branch of the electronic media in the country, the broad
perspective kept in mind was to inform and educate the people through wholesome entertainment
and to inculcate in them a greater awareness of their own history, heritage, current problems and
development as well as knowledge of the world at large.

HISTORY OF THE ORGANIZATION

Pakistan Television Corporation Limited (PTV) is a public limited company. Government of


Pakistan holds all its shares. The decision to establish a general-purpose television service with
the participation of private capital and under the general supervision of the Government of
Pakistan (GOP) was taken in October 1963. Subsequently the GOP signed an agreement with
Nippon Electronic Company of Japan, allowing it to operate two pilot stations in Pakistan. The
first of these stations went on air in Lahore on 26 November 1964. On the completion of the
experimental phase, a private limited company, called Television Promoters Limited was set up
in 1965, which was converted into a public limited company in 1967. Television centers were
established in Karachi and Rawalpindi/Islamabad in 1967 and in Peshawar and Quetta in 1974.
PTV satellite transmission is round the clock. The transmission includes ETV and PTV world
transmission.

The Karachi Center commenced its transmission on November 2,1967 and was the first full-
fledged station housed in its own building fully and properly equipped with better technical
extensive equipment for production by electronic methods it has four main color studios,
including one designed and equipped for News.

The professional quality of its varied programme fare, be it music or drama has been of a top
standard. The PTV-Karachi Center along with four Re-broadcast Stations at Thana Bola Khan,
Shikarpur, Noorpur and Thando Allahyar, connected to other RBSs in the country through
Microwave link cover about 90% of the population. With the opening of PTV World, Pakistani
programmes are now being viewed in other parts of the world via satellite.

PTV Lahore, pilot center started in collaboration with N.H.K. Company in a very small studio
known as Studio 'C' (with three Cameras, one Tape recorder, one 35mm Telecine, one 16mm
Telecine and one Opaque Projector.) Studio 'C' was situated inside the Pakistan Broadcasting
Corporation, Lahore area, was started on 26-"-1964 six days in a week (Monday off-day) in
black & white with a very limited staff. At that time, all Studio programmes were telecast,
"LIVE" as no VTR Recording machines were available, which were made available in the year
1968.

A Pilot TV Center was formally inaugurated on December 5, 1974 at 2-Fort Road, Peshawar. It
was Black & White Production/Transmitting Center consisting of Recording Studio and a Booth
for News/Announcement.

On February 18, 1982 Main Color TV Center was inaugurated at 58Shahrah-e-Quaid-e-Azain


with Two Production Studios,, One Announcement / News Studio, an Outdoor Broadcast Van &
07 Nos. of portable outdoor recording units for News/Current Affairs and Programmes.

was formally inaugurated on 26th November 1974 (26th November, on the 10th opening
anniversary of PTV in Pakistan, as the first PTV Center was established in Lahore on 26th
November, 1964 and later on too, most of the Centers were established on 26th November).

The main project of the Academy was approved in 1981 with an estimated cost of Rs.33.9
million from the Government, whereas PTV had to contribute Rs. 9.7 million in the form of
old/used equipment. Engineering Training Cell was established in 1978 to train PTV Engineers.
A similar cell was established for Production Training in 1984. Both these divisions had been
working in rented buildings before moving to Academy’s building in 1988.

In the overall structural set up, the corporation, consists of the following units:-

(b) A central sales office at Karachi.

At present Pakistan Television has been working with six television stations which are located in
1. Lahore 2. Islamabad

5. Peshawar 6. ETV Center at Islamabad for
2nd channel
And 31 rebroadcast station which are located in different regions all over the Pakistan which are
very powerful and are linked with National Network of Micro waves offered by Pakistan
Telecommunication Corporation.
This network of Pakistan Television covers about 87% of population, which is about 120 million,
and 37.5% of area inside Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.

(7) Abbottabad

(1) Sales office at all Television Centres (2) Faisalabad (3) Hyderabad (4) Multan (5)

BOARD OF DIRECTORS
A Board of Directors appointed by the Government of Pakistan manages its affairs. The
Managing Director of the Corporation, duly appointed by the Government of Pakistan and
approved by the Board of Directors, is the Administrative and Executive Head of the
Corporation. He is the competent authority to implement rules for the Corporation and its
employees.

When PTV came into existence in 1964, there was a staff of 30 employees, which has now risen
to more than 6000 persons at all Units of the Corporation. The employees of PTV are divided
into 09 groups and every group has a separate pay scale. There is a regular channel of promotion
for almost every post with the exception of a very few.

Ptv, the national broadcasting corporation had been in dire straits and continuously declining for
many years. When the current management took over the reins, the organization was at the verge
of bankruptcy. Losses had been incurred, income from all spheres was restricted, viewership had
reduced and the overall morale of the institution was in shambles.

The energy, innovation and vitality exhibited by the new leaders has, within a short span of one
year, transformed PTV into a profitable organization with a leap of Rs 287 million from Rs 1431
million to Rs 1718 in advertising income; from Rs 148 million net operating loss to Rs 38
million net operating profit.

Programming with significant changes in presentation style. The promotion of programmes has
been totally been revamped in lieu of improved re-packaging and tailor made programming
along with energized marketing strategy. PTVs endeavor for initiative has surfaced with a
number of milestones of particular significance. Deserving special mention here are the daily
programs of Tilawat & Tarjuma of the Holy Quran; programmes highlighting the cause of
Kashmir;

PTV World, a new satellite channel was launched in the face of tough international competition.
The objective of providing a homely atmosphere to family viewers has been well achieved. The
audience driven programmes have given PTV a new look and dramatically changed the views
about Ptv. PTV has surged ahead of its competitors and as such PTV-2 has been turned into a
viable project. Generation of more than Rs 56 million within a span of five months of the
implementation of the new idea speaks of this unparalleled achievement.

Technical improvement of PTV is evident from the change in screen presentation. The public
has greatly appreciated this cosmetic transformation not only in programmes but also in News &
Current Affairs. Recent usage of Computer Technology to facilitate the generation of virtual sets
is a significant landmark in the history of PTV.

On the other hand active participatory programmes have supplemented the authenticity of
Current Affairs programmes and generated a lot of public interest. Live Open Forum; PTV has
taken a lead over its contemporaries by introducing Audio-Text and Tele-text services in the
region. The live cricket and hockey quizzes and the recently held PTV Awards are few examples
of mass public participation through Audio text. Availability of on-line Flight Information, live
surge and fall of stock exchanges, news updates etc. on normal home TV sets are few references
of Teletext application.

Every new idea brings with it the opening of whole new vistas of creativity. Prime TV is yet
another ventures in this regard, which resulted in the generation of additional income. Mideast
Time, an extension of PTV World, targets Pakistani expatriates in the Middle East at a time
when people need to relax with family entertainment.

PTV has a lot to be proud of. Its lists of accomplishment is ever increasing and every
achievement is a milestone in itself, like:

• Salaat-o-Tarawih direct from Makkah during Ramadan


• Launching of PTVs Web site on Internet
• Special live interviews from Dubai, Saudi Arabia & New York
• Taji Mori at 12,500ft, one of the world's highest transmitters

While making budget of a certain programme it is tried that it should be realistic and their will be
no misuse of funds because to arrange fund is always a problem. A programme's budget is
estimated on real and hypothetical basis because every thing is not clear. After the programmes
budget is made, a pilot programme is prepared and evaluated.

Programme Budget Estimate System

Producers estimate their budgets on programme budget estimate form. This form has two major
columns of direct and indirect cost. By direct cost we mean the cost of those items, which are
directly, involved in the programme e.g. set material, videotapes, traveling expenses etc.

ROBLEMS AND
RECOMENDATIONS

Problems
As PTV is a very huge organization so there are some problems, which are faced by the
employees of PTV Islamabad center.

1. Union plays a very vital role in the development of any organization. As far as PTV is
concerned union is banned from 1974, which is not a good sign for the development of
organization.

2. The promotion policy in PTV is too much slow which creates discouragement among the
employees.

3. Transfer and promotion of employees are made on political basis. Qualification is not
considered for promotion.

4. Only salary section is properly computerized, while the remaining sections have no
proper computer facility.

5. There is delay in payment to actors.

6. There is no proper check on medical funds. This amount is misused.

7. The authority is centralized in PTV.

8. No proper networking among the functional areas of business that yield in high degree of
confusions and ultimately effects on efficiency of workers.

9. Late payment of over times that’s why majority workers are un motivated.

10. There is a need of more staff in PTV because in PTV the task of three persons is
performing by one person that results in to low degree of satisfaction and commitment
with the organization.
Recommendations
In my opinion there are some suggestions for effective utilization of available resources and for
making people more committed with the organization.

• There should be no restriction on union because union helps the employees in solving
their problems and in this way they works hard.
• There should be some specific strategy and policy of promotion and it should be strictly
followed to avoid the employees from harassment and make them to take keen interest in
their duties.
• The transfer and promotion should be totally free from political interruption.
• The whole system of PTV centers should be computerized.
• Reward should be paid to actors at time because delay in payments discourages the
professional actors.
• There should be proper check on medical funds. A committee should be made to check
the medical record regularly.
• Decentralized policy should be adopted in PTV.
• There should be proper net working among the functional areas for improvements in
efficiency
• The yearly bonus scheme should be introduced.
• Monthly employees, management meetings should be held to increase the understanding
between management and employees.
• There should be proper system of over times means over time should be paid at right
time.
• PTV should recruit more committed employees for increasing efficiency.

So in my opinion if PTV follows these recommendation it can make its employees more
committed with their organization and that yield in high degree of satisfaction in work areas and
high level of efficiency.
