ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV Sports) lodged a complaint with the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on Saturday against Geo Super and Geo News for illegally using footages from PTV Sports, thereby infringing legitimate rights of PTVC - as PTV Sports has obtained rights for the ICC Champions Trophy.

PEMRA chief fears for his and staff's lives, calls for security

In response, PEMRA issued a statement, directing Geo News and Geo Super to stop airing live or recorded footages of ICC Champions Trophy 2017, in any manner. “All other satellite TV channels are also directed to refrain from airing illegal footages from PTV Sports,” it further said.
