Paigham TV is an Saudi-funded Islamic channel in Pakistan.[1] It was launched as an Urdu language TV channel in 2011 by Imam al-Kabah Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais and later in Pashto in 2014.[1][2]
Besides Ahl-i-Hadith and sectarian groups, Saudis are using other, more benign transnational conduits, like TV channels, to exert their influence. In Pakistan, Paigham TV (broadcast in Urdu and Pashto) is a case in point. It was inaugurated in 2011 by Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdul Aziz as-Sudais, the imam of the Grand Mosque in Mecca.
