PEMRA Bans Live Audience During Ramzan Transmissions
PEMRA has banned Ramzan transmissions to have a live audience. However, many have come up with different techniques to engage the audience from their home.
In the wake of the pandemic, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) has banned live audiences in Ramzan Transmissions. There will be no audiences present in the auditorium during the filming of any live show this Ramzan. However, the shows won’t stop airing and have found new ways to tackle this issue.
PEMRA tweeted:
“There should strictly be no live audience during regular Ramazan transmissions at Sehr and Iftar timings as public gatherings for any purpose are deemed hazardous and probable source for spreading the disease not only among the audience but to the crew member/ staff of the channels,”

PEMRA has mentioned a list of rules and regulations that need to be followed during the live telecast of shows. This also includes directions regarding social distancing such as a distance of no less than one metre needs to be observed if there are two hosts of a show. Also, one guest will be present at a time during transmission.
After PEMRA’s notice regarding Ramzan transmissions, Jeeto Pakistan tweeted that they will be airing the show but without a live audience. They’ve decided to host a show that engages the audience from the comfort of their homes. As it’ll be Jeeto Pakistan’s seventh anniversary, they managed to come up with an interesting way to telecast the show amidst the pandemic. They’re calling this as ‘Jeeto Pakistan League’ where there will be 5 teams from 5 cities and each will have its own celebrity caption.
However, they haven’t disclosed the celebrity captains yet.
This Ramzan we bring you #JeetoPakistanLeague! 5 teams, 5 celebrity captains & all of you can be a part of the game show sitting at home. There will be no audiences because we believe safety comes first! Can you guess the 5 cities & their celebrity captains?@fahadmustafa26 pic.twitter.com/M4dYwOqsb7
