The second week of June saw a new entertainment TV channel called Urdu 1 making waves in Pakistan, mainly because of its content – foreign (mainly Turkish and Spanish) soap operas dubbed in Urdu.
Faraz Ansari, CEO, Urdu 1 (former GM, Ten Sports) explains that Urdu 1 was actually established in June 2010 in the Middle East as a foreign channel for Urdu-speaking communities. Ansari, who has previously worked with Sports Star Entertainment, Media Vision Marketing and TV One decided to bring the channel to Pakistan, with PEMRA granting him the landing rights in 2011.
Currently, there are eight locally produced soaps and serials on Urdu 1, however the bulk of the content is foreign shows dubbed in Urdu.
Urdu 1 is also currently running a print ad (designed by IAL Saatchi & Saatchi) to attract advertiser interest and Ansari says, the response has been very favourable.
