"The third and most successful model, from the viewpoint of popularity as well as economy, has been Urdu 1. Based in Dubai, Urdu 1 has landing rights with a touch of 'glocalisation.' It mostly airs Turkish soap operas dubbed in the Urdu language. Some media sources claim that Urdu 1 is a front organisation for News Corporation, others, for instance Pakistan Broadcasters Association, informed a commission constituted by the country's Supreme Court that Indians own it (PMCR, 2013). The latter claim is, however, unsubstantiated according to journalists interviewed for this research."
