EntMnt Xclusive Geo TV applies for broadcasting rights in India

[IndianMascot]

Geo a major Pakistan TV has applied to the Government of India to open its airwaves to a Pakistani channel. The government has for the first time received an application from a Pakistani television channel for "down-linking in India."

According to reports, Geo has used 'Aman ki Asha' scheme to try to convince the government of India to open its borders to Geo. Geo for the past few years has been aggressively positioning itself as the harbinger of peace. Many were confused as to why Geo was doing this. It is now clear, this “scheme” was to broaden Geo’s market and increase the number of its subscribers. If Geo was seen as a "moderate" TV channel, perhaps it would get access to the lucrative Indian market.

India had banned the carrying of Pakistani channels about 10 years ago. Jilani had argued that since Indian television channels were allowed to be transmitted in Pakistan without restrictions and hence, India should reciprocate, according to media reports then.

During his last visit to India in July, Pakistan foreign secretary Jalil Abbas Jilani is known to have demanded India to allow transmission of Pakistani channels including PTV in India. As for the past ten years, India has been broadcasting its TV channels to Pakistan while denying the access to Pakistan.

[Seems]

I&B should allow GEO for downlinking .....

 

[IndianMascot]

I think only Pakistan Government Channel should be allowed like DD National of India.

it would be great if indian information ministry allow paki chanls

 

[Technoglitch]

No time to view indian channels let alone pak channels

 

[IndianMascot]

I don't think any Indian would require a Pakistani Channel. Only those People using Indian DTH would be interested to watch it.

Also Jilani view on allowing Pakistani channel because they are allowing Indian Channels is completely absurd. Tomorrow they will tell Indian Govt that Pakistan is allowing piracy of Indian Songs so India too should allow Piracy of Pakistani songs

 

[irshadkhan]

geo network is the No. 1 network of pakistan. It should be allowed in india.

@ IndianMascot:
I didn't expect such biased statement from a well composed person.

Why you indian can't digest some thing in favour of pakistan.
We are watching indian channels more than pakistani channels and appreciating it.

Indian dth service is growing at seedy rate, if we compare the population of both countries.
And the day is not far away when one or two of the india's leading dth company start it's services in pakistan.

Grow up and get out of the war of mentality.
Its good for the future of both countries.

Sorry if I hurt you.

we didnt mind watching pak tv but no time for it irshadkhan

 

[IndianMascot]

irshadkhan bro, its not about war or india-pakistan issue, its about viewership. Pakistan viewers are anyways enjoying those channels, Indian rarely need it. So, what's the deal of allowing all channels in India.

Few National Channels may be allowed which are unbiased and do not show any objectionable things. Also I disagree with the reason given by Jilani which is completely out of focus. If he would have said that Indian People will be able to understand about Pakistan people, their culture, things happening around , then I would have agreed to hi reasons but just because Pakistan is allowing Indian Channels, so India too allow is irrelevant.

I hope you understand my points. I am never against any community or country.

@IM
I dont agree with the statement that indian people dont like Pakistani channels.

I have lot of indian friends they all love to watch Pakistani channels and its programs.

Infact Pakistani Dramas are better and closer to reality than Indian ones, those are more suspense dramas.
