Waqt News was a Pakistani Urdu-language news and current-affairs television channel associated with the Nawa-i-Waqt media group. The channel launched in 2007 and was based in Lahore. It brought the group’s reporting into television, alongside publications including the Urdu daily Nawa-i-Waqt and the English-language newspaper The Nation. Waqt News covered Pakistani national and regional affairs for television audiences, and its identity was closely connected with the group’s established news publishing operation.

Television service ended in 2018

Waqt News ceased television operations on 30 October 2018, after the company dismissed staff and shut its offices, according to contemporaneous reporting. Pakistan’s Media Ownership Monitor likewise records the channel as having become defunct in late 2018. The closure followed a period of layoffs and protests by media workers. This entry describes the former television channel and does not confirm that its old broadcast feed is currently available live. The Nawa-i-Waqt group continued to be associated with print and digital publishing, but those publications are separate from the Waqt News television service. The channel’s historical profile is best understood through its Urdu news and current-affairs role and its documented end as a television broadcaster.
