ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority has asked private channels to stop airing content, programs and songs that are vulgar in nature.
PEMRA said that the advice is issued on directives of the Senate Standing Committee on Information Broadcasting & National Heritage.
PEMRA also raised serious concerns on excessive religious consumerism and Commercial programs aired in the Holy month of Ramzan.
Moreover, the Authority has also advised private TV channels to telecast national anthem before the start of every day transmission as also being practiced in neighboring countries to promote patriotism.
PEMRA has also asked TV channels to develop healthy programs for the children as there is no serious focus on children programming and only couple of foreign channels are presently catering to this need.
