Pakistan, which continues to ban Indian TV channels, has permitted local private channels to air six percent Indian content in their programmes during daily transmissions. Times of India quoted Pakistan’s Minister in charge of Cabinet Division, Zulfiqar Ali Gondal, as saying the local channels were allowed to air six percent Indian content and four percent English content. The permission was granted by Prime Minister, Shaukat Aziz, on “a reciprocal basis”, Mr Zulfikar said.
The channels which have been allowed to telecast foreign content are GEO News, GEO Entertainment, ARY One, ARY Digital, Indus Plus, Indus Vision, Hum, DM Digital, Rung TV, Dhoom, TV One, Aaj, TV 2Day and N-Vibe, the minister said.
