The Geo network (comprising of Geo TV, Geo News, Geo Super, and Aag) has sued the government for prohibiting it from broadcasting its channels. The government has disallowed all of Geo's channels from being broadcast, despite the fact that only one of them, Geo News, is the "problematic" one. The government has also targeted the Jang group of newspapers (owned by the same family - by the way, yes, it is disturbing that one family/group owns so much of the media). In a preliminary ruling, the Sindh High Court (composed of the new PCO crony judges) has directed PEMRA to allow the non-news channels to be allowed on the air. A final ruling is expected at the end of the week.
