Amity International Filed Petition Against GEO TV Network
Amity International filed a petition in the Supreme Court of Pakistan against violations of laws including PEMRA Ordinance by GEO Network and In response to the petition filed by Amity International Sindh High court has warned GEO Network to curtail the airing of Urdu foreign content in excess to the limit (6% of the entire content aired) of the day or face a permanent ban in case of failure of compliance to this order issued on 25 March 2014.
As per the PEMRA Ordinance 2002 Section 7(2), the terms of the license allow only 6% of the Foreign Content in URDU language. The allowed limit would allow Geo Network to air merely 6% of the Indian and other (including Turkish) content, which would roughly some up to merely 86 minutes. However, currently, Geo Network, on its channel Geo Kahani has been airing 70-77% foreign content, hence blatantly violating the laws and regulations set by PEMRA. The complaint by Amity International highlighted this non-compliance by Geo Network, which leads to cannibalization of local talent and production.
The news of the decision by the court spread like the fire on Pakistani Social Media scene when famous news anchor, Mubasher Lucman broke the news on his twitter account:
Pakistan’s Showbiz society have highly appreciated the efforts by Amity International as well as welcomed this decision by Sindh High Court with hopes that it will bring more opportunities for local talent to showcase their own creative productions and efforts.
