The live broadcast of Geo News was hacked on Sunday night, with a subversive message appearing on screen during transmission.
In a statement, the channel’s management said attempts had been made over the past 24 hours to interfere with its broadcast. It noted that efforts were underway to hack the channel’s signal on the PAKSAT communication satellite and disrupt programming.
According to the management, Geo News had been experiencing repeated transmission disturbances for some time. During the latest incident, its screen was taken over to display an inappropriate message.
The channel clarified that the intrusion was unrelated to its editorial or operational activities and urged the relevant authorities to investigate the matter promptly. It called for immediate action to identify those responsible and bring them to justice.
