People in Pakistan have local channels airing them news items but their entertainment comes from Indian channels. This is what the Indians would say that the neighboring country watch similar Bollywood films like them. The only thing that splits the two countries regarding television viewing is the news channels. That’s what separates Pakistani viewers from Indian viewers.
