Primary focus of the study is to dig out the challenges that are faced by the electronic media channels. Administration of channels faces the ban on transmission while Journalists are murdered by the known and unknown forces in Pakistan. The study also provides the research conducted on the murdered journalists during 2002 to 2013 in Pakistani areas. Pakistan could not achieve the benefits of free media since its emergence from 1947 to 2002, for about 55 years because Pakistani people were forced by the powerful authorities to listen and watch to what the powerful groups in Pakistan wanted. There was only one state owned channel PTV (Pakistan Television) who had the responsibility to show the truth but people had become fed up with the performance of only one channel because there was no competition and choice for people to dislike the PTV’s transmission. In 2002, General Musharraf who was although a military ruler did to what democratic governments could not. He established a new institution “PEMRA” and deputed him to issue the licenses to private channels so that they may show the truth to Pakistani nation. He had never imagined that the free media established by his own hands, would turned against him and will oppose his dictatorship but he did not care about it and constructed the first brick to establish a concrete based building for the freedom of electronic media field in Pakistan. Later, it was proved that free media criticized the non-democratic activities performed by the General Musharraf as a ruler. When he imposed emergency in Pakistan and suspended the Chief Justice, media opposed his action by conducting different programs. Pakistan is a dangerous country for Journalists who are working for electronic media channels. Numerous tools are used to stop their voices by the powerful authorities, even they are murdered too. Pakistan is considered most deadly country for Journalists. Twenty six journalists were murdered during the 2002 to 2013 in different Pakistani areas. Different channels are banned to on-air their transmission for short and long period.
