Geo News has informed viewers that its broadcast transmission experienced repeated disruptions following an apparent interference attempt over the past 24 hours. The network said unknown actors tried to hack the channel’s feed carried through Paksat, briefly affecting normal programming.
Channel distances itself from hacked message
According to the broadcaster, the transmission interruptions led to the temporary display of an inappropriate message on screen. However, Geo News clarified that it has no connection whatsoever to the content that appeared during the disruption.
Moreover, the channel emphasized that the incident resulted from external interference rather than any internal technical issue. Officials said engineering teams immediately began reviewing the disruption to restore stable transmission.
Authorities urged to investigate swiftly
Meanwhile, Geo News has formally urged relevant authorities to take immediate notice of the attempted breach. The network called for a prompt and thorough investigation to identify those responsible.
In addition, the broadcaster asked law enforcement agencies to act without delay and ensure that the perpetrators face legal consequences. The channel stressed that protecting broadcast infrastructure remains essential to maintaining public trust and uninterrupted information flow.
Viewers were assured that Geo News continues to monitor the situation closely while working to maintain normal transmission services.
