ARY Digital Network, one of
Pakistan’s most influential and widely viewed television networks, has acquired
majority shares of the digital media platform Nukta as part of ARY Group’s
broader strategy to expand its leadership in the evolving digital media
landscape.
The move reflects ARY Group’s
continued commitment to innovation in journalism, combining its decades-long
strength in broadcast media with the growing importance of digital storytelling
and audience engagement.
Through this integration, Nukta
will join ARY Group’s expanding media ecosystem, which currently reaches
millions of viewers across television, digital platforms and international
markets.
Salman Iqbal, Founder of the ARY
Digital Network & CEO of the ARY Group, said: “The media landscape is
changing rapidly, and ARY has always been at the forefront of that evolution.
By bringing Nukta into the ARY ecosystem, we are strengthening our digital
presence while building on ARY’s global broadcast leadership. We are confident
this integrated platform will deliver powerful journalism and innovative
storytelling for the digital age.”
While continuing to operate from
its Dubai headquarters, Nukta will now become part of ARY Group’s broader
international media network, leveraging the group’s scale, credibility and
production capabilities to expand its audience and content offerings.
Originally launched as Nukta
Pakistan and Nukta Dubai, the platform includes verticals such as Nukta
Business, Nukta Crime and Nukta Life. These platforms have already built strong
digital audiences and are expected to expand further as part of ARY’s strategy
to strengthen its digital content ecosystem across Pakistan and the wider South
Asian region.
Kamran Khan, founder of Nukta and
a veteran journalist with over 42 years of experience across print and
television, now joins ARY as Chairman of ARY News & Nukta.
“This partnership creates an
exciting opportunity to combine ARY’s unmatched broadcast reach with Nukta’s
fast-growing digital platform. Together, we aim to build a modern media
platform that delivers credible journalism, sharp analysis and compelling storytelling
for audiences across Pakistan and the global South Asian community,” added
Kamran Khan, Chairman of ARY News & Nukta.
As part of the integration,
Nukta’s flagship program On My Radar (OMR) with Kamran Khan will soon appear on
ARY News, bringing the show to a significantly larger television audience.The
acquisition marks another step in ARY Group’s evolution as a multi-platform
media leader, combining its strong television network with an expanding digital
media presence to serve audiences across Pakistan and beyond.
