Online streaming

After the emergency in Pakistan, many private TV channels were shut down by PEMRA including ARY One World, but it continued live online streaming. The ban has now been removed.[citation needed]

Order to shut down

On November 16, 2007, after the pressure from General Musharraf, ARY One World shut down. After the imposition of emergency in Pakistan, all private news channels were banned. On November 16th, Musharraf ordered PEMRA to cancel ARY's license, and ARY shut down. The Pakistani government has claimed that Dubai Media City authorities have closed these channels and that the Government of Pakistan has nothing to do with it. However, Dubai Media Centre authorities have dismissed these statements had said that they had no hand in this at all.

ARY One World returns

After the ARY One World owners signed the new PEMRA ordinance and accepted the conditions of government, coverage resumed on November 22, 2007. One important condition was that channel would not present any argument, whether from public or from opposition politicians, against the current government. Many human rights were cancelled due to this government act.

Hacking of aryoneworld.net

After the resignation of Musharraf the ARY One World website[3] was hacked and now has been restored.
