The Bangla speaking community in the UAE can now enjoy one of their most favourite channels. With content tailored to suit all members of the family, 'Channel i' is the first digital satellite Bangaldeshi channel to offer a variety of programmes from music to sports and from movies to news broadcast directly from Dhaka around the clock.
GEO TV broadcasts in Urdu 24 hours a day to give viewers in the UAE a dose of updated news from Pakistan and around the world. Apart from its informative content, GEO TV offers entertainment programmes with unique forms of reality and talk shows, quality dramas, political satires and interactive quiz shows. It also has a network of over 500 reporters and correspondents. GEO TV has also been topping the official Gallup ratings chart for all satellite channels in Pakistan.
Speaking on the occasion, Imran Aslam, GEO TV's President and head of content, said:'We are proud to offer our services to the UAE audience. We have been broadcasting from Dubai Media City since August 14, 2002 and it feels great to finally be able to view ourselves here. Dubai has always been like a home away from home and we feel it even more now'.
