[edit] praise

too much Praising.

Agreed. I've put a number of requests for sources. Beetle B. (talk) 04:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] praising

i think they are Praising geo tv. it is wiki not praising room.

All Pakistani channels whether based in or outside Pakistan air programs that are critical of the government. ARY, AAJ TV, Business Plus, SUNbiz, TV ONE, CNBC Pakistan etc. are all based in Pakistan and are all critical of the government whenever there is a need.

[edit] Propaganda

I think the page more serves as propaganda box and gola-ganda styled pamphlet of GEO rather brief and impartial informative page. 3 February 2006, 11:40 (UTC)

[edit] Some technical info please

Can we have someone who works or woked at Geo Engineering to add technical info like equipment used at their headend. Hopefully lose this marketing garbage in the process.RadicalSatDude 14:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing

I've done a fair amount of editing in order to make the article a bit more NPOV. I agree, we need some more technical info. Help would be appreciated on that front. Thanks! Sandbreak 22:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What the hell happened to Fahd Hussain?

Does anyone know if Fahd Hussain has quit Geo? If so, please update the article.

Yup.. Fahd Hussain had left Geo for ARY One World. He is now Director News of Din Raat, news channel of daily Express. Mubashir (talk) 07:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kamran Khan

I am surprised at the tussle between Pakistan and Kamran Khan. Off late, his shows are subject of criticism from the government. Kamran Khan, to me, used to be a spokesperson of the Pakistan Government and particularly President Pervez Musharraf. If you study his interview to PBS

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/search/interviews/khan.html

you will notice his calculated answers are like the speeches we often hear from the President himself. Off late, Kamran Khan has changed gears and the contents of his shows are turning out to be bias against the current government. I am perplexed at the change in his journalism. What has changed in him? What has lead to this? Has GEO Television put their editorial decisions on him? I am just curious.

[edit] Cleanup needed

Some cleanup is needed as there appears to be news articles copy-pasted from Geo TV's web site and I also notice some POV pushing Tarmo Tanilsoo (talk) 07:33, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, tried to clean it up, but got reverted. Since I don't want to go against WP:3RR, I will stay away from further cleanup Tarmo Tanilsoo (talk) 16:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

The entire text in the section was inacceptably copied (verbatim!) from http://www.hindu.com/nic/geo.htm. I reinstated the short version and linked the Hindu.com article as an additional reference. |dorftrottel |humor me 18:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism Section Needs a Lot of Work

I edited the criticism section to make it a bit more readable. The details of the May MQM killings were incomprehensible to me, and so I may have misedited it. Could someone please check on it and fix any mistakes I made? Beetle B. (talk) 04:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Messy page

This page really needs a cleanup. Many links were incomplete and there were some grammar mistakes. I'm gunna put a cleanup template on this. Ahmeri18 (talk) 11:26, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
