ARY and GEO shut down [merged]

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

Precisely. I think are struggling with that because they don't want to land in hot water with the Dubai/UAE govt, but I think may already have landed themselves in it.

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

Do you have stats to prove it or is it just another bukbuk as usual to save tyrant's ass?

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

Or maybe it was all planned from before. Starve the people of the thing they hold dearest, make 'em desperate, then one of us gives 'em back the very 'thing' and we have recipe for a 'leader' wanted by public because he/she re-freed the media.
Again, just a possibility...No names! No gimmicks :D

if u get the drift.....

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

I doubt this will have any effect whatsoever. I did’t my part lets hope for the best.
I want Western Media to fully cover this story, where Channels like Geo have been forcefully closed down.

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

I think GEO will come back on. But, after elections, maybe some time around spring or so.

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

A Geo TV message says it will lose 80 crores due to PTV & the Pak Govt violating the agreement on telecasting India/Pak series.

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

Nothing on paktv.net. Which Geo is this?

Re: Geo TV to shut down!

Here are the 2 examples

  • Shahid Massod repeatedly kept saying that "ARMY HAS ENTERED THE SUPREMECOURT AND JUDGES HAVE BEEN ARRESTED (and GEO kept on running the ticker of this news) even after their own corresponded reported live from within the supreme court building that Army has not entered the court only regular court employs are int the court and judges are inside the room having discussion" -- Of course not everyone saw that live report from GEO's correspondent but they watch the lies of Shahid Massood (as he kept repeating those lies even after live report) without knowing the exact situation

  • Same person Shahid Massood once, trashed the weather forecast for storm in Karachi and he criticized the govt by telling the people that "request is politically motivated". What happened next? Storm struck Karachi and many people died, who may have seen Shahid Masood's lies and decided to go to work as usual but this stupid never had courage to apologize on this.

CBS and Co are western media made in US of A. I believe too many on GS take them serious. No wonder, you guys have never experienced the taste of "real" freedom of speech, expression and media. Therefore you guys need to live in Europe I suppose.

Re: ARY TV to shut down as well.

LAHORE, Pakistan (CNN) – Two Pakistani television networks that transmit from Dubai in United Arab Emirates were ordered off the air Friday at the request of Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, officials from the networks told CNN.

Pakistan’s president, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, has been under pressure to lift a state of emergency.

GEO-TV and ARY Digital both offer a variety of programming, including news, entertainment, sports and music.

Since Musharraf declared a state of emergency earlier this month, Pakistani authorities have shut down media outlets and jailed opposition leaders.

Musharraf has said the order improves stability and will foster peaceful parliamentary elections, which he has said he would like to see take place before January 9.

The exact date will be set by Pakistan’s Election Commission.

Opposition leaders have accused Musharraf of declaring emergency rule to keep his hold on power and avoid an expected court ruling that would have nullified his election victory in October
