TWO GEO TV CHANNELS PERMITTED TO BROADCAST IN PAKISTAN AGAIN

December 23rd 2007 02:47


Two Geo TV channels are back on air in Pakistan, more than a month after they were blacked out, according to reports news website NDTV.com.
Geo Entertainment and Aag TV are being aired on cable networks across Pakistan but Geo News and Geo Super are still off air.
The channels have been off the air since the imposition of emergency rule by Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf on November 3.
Geo TV, Pakistan’s biggest Urdu television network, last month appealed to Musharraf to allow its broadcasts on cable networks.
Last Sunday, Geo TV said in a letter published in The News, “The constitution of Pakistan has been restored, emergency has been lifted and the Provisional Constitutional Order has been withdrawn. Mr President, congratulations, you have kept your promises…There is however, one other matter of national interest that requires your urgent attention – media freedom."

The letter signed by ‘Geo Team’ told the President, who has taken credit for giving freedom to the media, that, "Compared to others, you have done more for the development of media, free speech and promotion of constructive criticism. Please let that still be one of your hallmarks and legacies.”
