Baseem Baig Chagtai has resigned from his position as Business Unit Head International Division, Geo Network.

Chagtai has been a part of the popular TV network for the past years. He has been heading Geo Network in UK, USA, Canada, European and Middle Eastern territories for print, electronic and new media services. He joined Geo Network in March 2004.

During his tenure at Geo Network, Chagtai has been responsible to launch three channels from the brand in the UK. Recently, Geo News and Geo Tez became BARB rated channels with a reach of around 300,000 viewers. Entertainment channel, Geo TV turned free-to-air due to growing pressure from the saturated Asian TV market. The channel currently attracts around 200,000 viewers per week.

The news comes at time when competition has heated up between Pakistani TV channels in the UK. It will be interesting to see who will take over Chagtai’s position.

Chagtai has joined Bol TV, which launches in Pakistan in March.
