Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) on Monday suspended the licence of Nickelodeon channel for airing cartoons dubbed in Hindi language.
According to PEMRA, the suspension was made due to violation of PEMRA directives, following the October 19 decision taken by the authority.
PEMRA had announced on October 19 that any satellite channel or those with landing rights would face bans over screening of Indian content.
The statement issued by PEMRA said that all distribution networks have been informed about the suspension of Nickelodeon channels and that the decision will come into effect immediately.
ARY Communications is the channel’s landing rights holder in Pakistan.
PEMRA had banned the airing of Indian content on local television and FM radio channels after Indian entertainment industry’s continuous outburst against Pakistani artists.
The decision applies on all cable networks, including the channels being operated by cable operators.
A press release issued by the authority said all the violators of PEMRA’s decision against airing of Indian content would be dealt with an iron fist.
