Just to get an idea as to what shows are popular and what not…
What shows do you try your best to not miss? (on GEO, ARY, INDUS, PRIME, AAJ, whatever pakistani channel)?

Re: Pakistani viewership
Cafe vision is good. It allows people to speak what they believe in, however, at times the paki guys and girls can get really annoying, especially the tones of their awaz.

Re: Pakistani viewership
Yeah i watched TV ONE yesterday for the first time, looked pretty good to me.
Indus Music: i like IM Taaza, live session etc. Some of their VJ's are HIGHLY annoying though.
Indus: i like Cafe Vision as well, at times it becmoes COMEDY session more than anything but they have discussed some really good topics and it's quite refreshing at times.
PTV: Can't remember when was the last time i watched something good on PTV, oh wait, they did show live coverage of cricket and hockey matches. Some of the PTV serials are quite good but can't watch them regularly.
Re: Pakistani viewership
the ex-NTM chief Tahir A. Khan is behind TV One -- so that's a positive!
