KARACHI, Jan 27: The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority has urged TV viewers not to pressure their cable operators into showing those channels which have been banned by the government, says a press release.
It says Pemra offices receive hundreds of calls daily demanding relaying of illegal channels which is against the national interest. “Due to its deep penetration in society, cable TV programmes can affect a large number of people. Since all the members of a family watch the programmes, content regulation assumes great importance,” it says.
The press release points out that the cable operators are facing a lot of pressure.
