The much hyped reality TV show ‘Pakistan Idol’ has been removed from the Geo UK schedules due to “compliance issues”.

The show, which launched earlier this month has not been broadcasting for the past couple of weeks.

A Geo UK spokesperson said, “The launch has been delayed due to compliance issues, it has heavy branding (Providing Undue mileage) of Pepsi & Q-Mobile. We have asked the Licensor to re-edit and send the updated episodes to our compliance team. Once approved through Compliance you will surely see it come back on air.”

Due to strict advertising guidelines set by media regulator, Ofcom, it takes UK broadcasters time to edit out such references. ‘Pakistan Idol’ is set to return soon once issues have been resolved.
