KARACHI: Geo TV wants to inform its viewers that over the past 24 hours, certain elements have been attempting to hack Geo News—which broadcasts on Pakistan’s satellite, Paksat—and disrupt its transmission.

On Sunday, during the 9:00 PM bulletin, Geo News satellite beam was hacked. This is a time when Geo News has its highest global viewership. During this period, the screen was hacked to display an inappropriate message. The nature of the message clearly indicates that it is the work of anti-Pakistan elements.

Geo TV clarifies that it has no connection to this unauthorized content. Geo TV management requests that the authorities take immediate notice of this situation, launch a swift investigation, and bring those responsible to justice. Furthermore, Geo TV is grateful to the authorities for its full cooperation and its ongoing efforts to resolve this issue.
