ISLAMABAD –Electronic media regulator PEMRA Saturday warned cable operators not to air transmission of Wesal Urdu, a TV channel inciting violence and hatred and which is not its licensee.

“Strict action will be taken in case any cable operator is found involved in airing this channel’s transmission,” PEMRA said in a press release.

The release said it is a UK-based channel and is being beamed into Pakistan illegally through a foreign satellite operator Asiasat 7, which is out of bounds for PEMRA. It can only be watched by individuals who have installed illegal satellite dishes.

Archie 'coms' stood out for me, then spaceships descended

The first comic I read was Little Lulu. Then there was Tom and Jerry, and the Disney gang led by Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Also popular was The Road Runner and Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. And if comic strips were included, Peanuts and Snoopy would win hands down. Our comic collections were prized like bitcoins.
