Tune.pk[4] (stylised as tune.pk or TPK) is a video sharing website based in Pakistan on which users can upload, watch and share videos. The site requires registration to upload and rate videos but unregistered users can also watch, share and comment. It offers local and regional content of Pakistan and is available worldwide. Its website uses ClipBucket, a video sharing script along with HTML5 and Adobe Flash to play user generated video content.

History

Two Pakistani brothers, started off the tune.pk website, with the aim to promote Pakistani music,[5] from the living room of their home.

Development over the years

2007–11

When TPK was launched for the first time in 2007,[6] the site was using customised third party software's, which backfired after a total of 15 days and the site was taken down by the hosting provider. The reason for the take down was the unauthorised script. The whole fiasco prompted the making of ClipBucket[7] in a whopping 30-day time span. The basic aim behind the coming into being of ClipBucket was to own a script that would help in bringing back Tune.pk. Tune.pk was launched again in 2008, but the site could not take off due to the inexperience of the team. Then again, in 2009, the site was relaunched but couldn't work because of lack of technical resource. Then again the site could not take off in 2010 and 2011 due to inconsistent traffic and insufficient funding respectively.

2012–13

2012 was the year when a YouTube[8][9][10] was banned from Pakistan on accounts of blasphemy. While that was happening, the team of Tune.pk was ready to launch the website once again. Upon relaunch TPK's iOS[11] application was introduced to the users for the first time. Other than that the idea for video delivery network (VDN) was also conceived in the same year.

In the beginning of 2013, the first traffic milestone was achieved by TPK and the site started receiving an inflow of 100K visitors a day. Also, a dedicated video delivery network (VDN) for the site was created in real time. The site also started offering pre-roll ads to the local brands of Pakistan which in turn opened gates for digital advertisement in the country. In June 2013, TPK went cross-border compatible and also launched its android[12] application. Moreover, in the same year TPK's video encoding was re-engineered, a new interface was launched for the site with an added custom playlist feature and by the end of 2013, the visitor inflow on site reached to a 1 million[13] user daily.

2014–15

In 2014, Tune.pk was restructured so that it can cater to the global market. Other than that work was started on proprietor stats server 'Tune-Lytics', Tune.pk's application for Windows[14] was launched along with TPK's ad server. Afterwards, pre-filtering and moderation technology were introduced into the system. Later on, the statistics server for the site went live so that the user can keep tabs on views and other video related numbers. Tune.pk also entered into a digital partnership with Qubee.[15] Towards the end of the year, TPK shifted to an HTML5 player, caching was successfully applied at TW in Pakistan and a better optimised version of TPK was launched.

2015 was all about partnerships and entering into new liaisons for Tune.pk. Tune.pk shook hands with Dot republic media[16] and Kaymu[17] in the first quarter of 2015. One other major partnership was that with ismart films as digital media partners for Pocket Cinema Film Festival (PCFF),[18] the first one of its kind to be held in Pakistan. Tune.pk also upgraded its player to be VAST and VPAID compliant, became cross compatible with HTML5 technology and got approved on the Sizmek platform. Live streaming services were offered by the site in May of the same year. Other than technical enhancements, a couple of BTL activities were initiated by the brand to gain market recognition and to create awareness among the general masses. One noteworthy step taken by Tune.pk was the launch of their Pakistan Timeline on 14 August 2015. In September 2015, Tune.pk completed its 3 years[19][20] of operations and the site was upgraded and a new design[21][22][23] was introduced, complete with new features. Other than that 60+ hosted streaming machines were added to the system to upgrade services. With its new design, Tune.pk also added the white hat[24] system to the website. 17+ Ad networks were added to the websites list of advertisers.

2016

2016 saw the era of some major changes for Tune.pk. Digital media partnerships were done for two most prestigious university events in Lahore; Bestival[25] and Softec.[26] A dedicated page for trailers[27] upload was also launched so that the viewers can have one stop access to latest released trailers. Activation's were done for Mother's Day,[28][29] Father's Day and Independence Day[30] during 2016 to create awareness and brand recognition on-ground. On independence Day, TPK paid tribute[31] to Abdul Sattar Edhi for his efforts for the betterment of humanity.

Also TPK completed 4 years[32] of operations in September 2016. The 4th anniversary[33][34] introduced a wave of some new features. The major one of those was the launch of Tune player V4.[35][36] Other than that a proper ticketing function was added so that the users could seek support from the team instantaneously. Also a notification panel, user feedback system[37] and messaging system was integrated on-site to give users a better and well connected experience. The closing of 2016 saw digital media partnerships with PakWheels and Click TV.

2017 - 2018

Criticism

In January 2015, Tune.pk was criticised by a local blog ProPakistani[39] for aggressively marketing itself as a platform to access YouTube videos. They also demanded to block TPK for giving users access to YouTube content through Tune.PK chrome extension. In response[40] to this criticism, Tune.pk changed course and accepted responsibility for diverting from its main objective. The service was immediately retracted and a new model was introduced for content uploaders.

Global Blackout

On 6 February 2016, Tune.pk faced a global blackout because of Google DNS. The services remained suspended for a total of 4 hrs and the problem could not be tracked. The users had to face inconvenience due to the whole scenario.

Tune Trailers

Tune Trailers[41] hosts content from Lollywood, Bollywood and Hollywood, so it is a one stop access for movie buffs to know what's latest and what is yet to be released.

Other than celebrities, national heroes are also interviewed through the medium to familiarise the audience with the struggle of the people who are heroes in real life and whose efforts are not yet appeared on the forefront.
