New Delhi, Jan 10 (TIWN) The insider story of the controversial and alleged illegal partnership between Pakistan Television (PTV) and the private ARY channel has come to light, The News International reported.

Details obtained by Geo News reveal that the Pakistan national exchequer was robbed of billions of rupees to benefit the private news channel, which had no sports channel when it was made a partner in the ICC broadcasting rights.  The whole game started in August 2021, when PTV released a tender for partnership in the ICC broadcasting rights, which did not mention the Pakistan Super League (PSL).  It is worth noting that the ARY consortium was involved in the ICC broadcasting when its sports channel “A Sports” had no existence and no licence.
