Re: WILCO
PTV is gradually changing its track but then its too slow. I conducted a programme on that fateful day when the carnage took place in Karachi and I know how I reached the station, yet I wasn’t allowed to tell why the seats were vacant and why my guest’s seat was empty…no reason at all.
But I do feel that the anchors/hosts from PTV Islamabad have been given a green signal which is good; they seem comfortable in their skins more than ever because they are allowed to lambast the government, praise it, criticize and suggest during the live programmes where as those at the Karachi centre still have to look upto their masters in Islb.
PTV certainly needs a major overhaul.
HUM is good because of the fact that they have set their priorities straight. They aren’t dabbling in all thats on offer. They have a focus on entertainment and they are at the moment going strong in that department.
Aaj for some reason is too fixated on luring the liberal strata of te society and hence the majority of the people fail to follow their programmes.

PTV…in years and years to come–will never ever change it’s policies! By default..it cannot and it’s name as CORPORATION is merely on account of some necessities on laws etc…otherwise it’s purely the ‘Jack-in-the Box’ of Government. The Islamabadi talks are primarily engineered and set out in a way that the audience should fall for it…BUT only GEO & ARY has set the stage at the point that even disdainly..the PTV has to sometime GULP a few bitter facts by talking about them as a sugar coated tablet. The ISLAMABADI talks are therefore “NOORA KHUSHTI” and their news are mostly “SEENA GAZZETTE”…!
HUM at the moment cannot afford another channel on Current Affairs..and that’s good..as two are enough besides lots of goody two shoe ones…so it’s blessing in disguise that Sultana is busy progressing the plays and serials.
AAJ is a chamchoo of highest order! it’s entertainment section is trying best to create some sensation under Nadeem Baig..but still a far cry while on news and CA it’s first cousin to PTV.
Who is this? some anchor on PTV?
Khush Rahein…
