The Dubai-headquartered Geo TV, flagship channel of the Pakistan-based Jang group of media companies, has decided to shift from a single channel entity to being a full fledged network. On the agenda, is the launch of ten channels dealing in all genres. The ten being general entertainment, news, youth, lifestyle, music, kids, sports, movies, and two regional channels – Sindhi and Punjabi. Serious consideration is also being given to the UK market so as to have a footprint in markets where there is sizable Asian diaspora, especially people of Pakistani origin.
