New Delhi/Dubai: Pakistan news channel Geo News resumed its transmission out of Dubai Media City at midnight, Dubai time on Thursday.
However, cable operators in Pakistan still cannot air the channel. The channel is currently iewable only through satellite receiver.
Following Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf imposed Emergency rule, Geo had been blacked out since November 3.
UAE's official Emirates news agency said in a brief dispatch that Dubai Media City and Pakistan channel have reached agreement on resuming broadcast.
Apart from Geo, the Dubai Media City had blocked the satellite signals for ARY channel, saying the decision was in line with the UAE's policy of neutrality and non-interference in other countries' affairs.
Both channels were earlier banned in Pakistan for refusing to sign a media code introduced by President Pervez Musharraf after he declared emergency rule.
Imran Mir, Station Head of Geo Television Network in Dubai, said the top management of Geo is in touch with the DMC, which has put in place some new conditions before allowing them to resume broadcasting.
The ARY network was allowed to resume its regular news transmission last week after the channel signed a letter promising to abide by some regulations.
