Geo to resume broadcasts from Dubai
DUBAI, Nov 29: Media authorities in Dubai said on Thursday they had allowed the Geo TV channel to resume broadcasts.
Geo News “will resume broadcasting at midnight out of Dubai Media City following fruitful discussions” between the two sides, said Amina Rustamani, who heads media affairs in Dubai’s media free zone, in remarks quoted by the UAE WAM news agency.
Dubai Media City, which hosts scores of regional and international news organisations, shut down both Geo News and ARYOne, another leading private Pakistani news channel, on Nov 16. ARYOne was allowed to resume broadcasts on Nov 22.
The private channels said they were shut down amid pressure from President Musharraf who imposed a state of emergency in Pakistan on Nov 3.—AFP
