On January 2007 Shahid Masood joined Geo TV which is owned by the Jang Group, the largest Urdu media group, as group executive director.
In late 2007 GEO Television was banned by General Musharraf after the imposition of emergency rule. However, even after the restoration of GEO's transmission Dr. Masood's show did not immediately resume. The lack of explanation led many[who?] to believe that the network had struck a deal with the government, casting a shadow of doubt on GEO's claim of being the only truly independent network in Pakistan.[citation needed] However, Dr Shahid came back on air mid-April 2008, and hosted an interview with Asif Zardari.
On June 13, 2008 Dubai city administration threatened GEO to drop Masood's show, among others, or risk losing its license as they "threatened the UAE's relations with a friendly country."
On Nov 30, 2008 Dr Shahid's Meray Mutabiq was back on Geo TV in which he explained his departure from GEO to PTV and also repented on the fact that he should consider public opinion before taking such decisions.
On June 21, 2008, he assumed the office of Pakistan Television (PTV) chairman-cum-managing director. During his time at PTV he has produced the first ever independent audit report on corruption in the office, for which he came under pressure from Information minister and subsequently offered his resignation. Masood refused to back down from his stance on the audit report; after meeting with Prime minister he tendered his resignation and was appointed as a Special Adviser to Prime Minister but after few days he resigned from that office as well.
