Default Geo Network ordered to shut down

Geo Network,with its Headquarters based in Dubai,has been ordered to shut down,by the authorities in Dubai.
This will affect viewers in the UK,mainland Europe and the US.
This news was announced on Geo News and Geo Tv,earlier today.
This will probably result in the loss of Geo TV(ch 815) and AAG Tv(ch:824),from the Sky epg.
Geo News,which was testing of the epg,and was due for a launch,in the UK,on the Sky epg, on Monday 19th November,has ceased its test transmission,earlier tonight.
It is now showing a looped promo for Geo News.
Its not known at this stage,whether the ban is temporary or permanent.
The Geo network,had recently branched out to cinema as well.
Their first production of a Urdu film,"Khuda ke liye"(In the name of God),is currently showing in cinemas,throughout the UK.

There is now a second victim to this saga.
Though it is not as heavy,a clampdown,that has affected the Geo Network.
Ary Digital,which is based in Dubai,has had its news programme,from Ary Oneworld pulled off the air.
Apologies for the poor picture quality.

Its all to do with the political crisis in Pakistan. Although ARY & Geo are uplinked from Dubai Media City they are Pakistan owned and under the control of the Pakistani Government - and they do NOT like any critisms of the way they are running things
