BOL Network (Шаблон:Lang-ur) is a Pakistani TV network. It is formerly owned by Shoaib Ahmed Shaikh. The company's head office is located in Karachi and called Bolistan, and it has regional headquarters in Lahore, Peshawar and Islamabad.

When Axact was revealed to be a diploma mill, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) temporarily revoked the license that it had awarded Bol.

In September 2023, Bol Network was acquired by AsiaPak Investments, a private investment firm, for an undisclosed sum, and Sameer Chishty was appointed as the new chairman and chief executive officer (CEO) of Bol Network.

History

The BOL Network was started by Pakistani businessman Shoaib Ahmed Sheikh in June 2013, and according to him, it was meant to create an independent media house to portray a soft image of Pakistan and several notable journalists joined the network at that time. After a number of delays, the network was launched December 1, 2016.

It claims to have offered insurance of up to Rs. 10 million to cable operators. In 2014, BOL Network advertised on more than 20,000 public transport vehicles in Pakistan. The company also announced a television set brand by the name of BG.

In 2017, Bol was accused of defaming politician Ishaq Dar.

In September 2022, PEMRA again revoked the network's license due to the channel failing to acquire security clearance.
