Sana Bucha resigns from Geo, joins Dunya News
It is reported that Bucha will now be working with Dunya News and will get the 10pm slot.
Bucha had earlier resigned in July this year purportedly in protest of Geo’s rehiring of Dr Aamir Liaquat. She was, however, persuaded to stay back.
Explaining the latest departure, the TV anchor tweeted saying she has left “Geo because of Geo, not for any other channel.”
JournalismPakistan stated that Bucha resigned because she was upset about Liaquat being offered to host a special show on child rights activist Malala Yousufzai.

She is one of the best i suport her
Great and courageous move by sana.She’s taken the principled stand.We need more women like sana bucha in pakistani society.Intelligent,self-confident,knowledgeable,she is an excellent role model for pakistani girls.Hope to see on her new show.
sana you are the best I've ever seen! I dont know what ever your issue was with geo t.v but I'll must say that geo tv did a great blunder by letting u left geo. you are the great! your intelligency is matchless! kindly tell me about her program's time on new chanel!
She is one of looser. molana fazlur rehman will not spare her.
Sana, thanks for supporting Nawazsharif at every channel, and thanks for joining Mian Sb Channel. Ab ap dil khol ke pese lena or ganju ki treefen krna.
@Zaheer: Do not worry about GEO. I assure you they are quite happy to get rid of her.
It is a big loss for GEO because she is one of very very very few anchors who are not running any party's ompaign in their shows.
Lakin! Paisa Bolta hai!
@Wasi:
Birds of the same feather fly together:
Amir Liaqat - A fake Scholar Imran Khan - A phony Social Worker and Politician
Hence I am not surprised that Dr. Amir Liaqat invited IK and "Encouraged" PTI in his show.
Sana hates amir because he called imran khan to his show in ramadan and also encoraged pti and also left a gud sign in the end... Why wasnt any member of pml n was brought to that show...
@safoora: As for as I know, the basic principle followed by all those who have joined Dunia TV was a lucrative monetary package which was very difficult to be rejected.
sana where ever u go,do not ever deviate from your principals,good luck.
Sana Bucha, Najm Sethi and Saleem Safi are my favorite tv hosts. Hope the last two stay at Geo , otherwise I will stop watching the New Channel.
May God help Dunia TV. Had it.
good for geo
she leaves cuz Amir Liaqat is here n she doesn't mind Mubashar Laqman/ Mehr Bokhari episode at Dunya TV.
yes the great drama afew months ago at DUNYA channel. But what Mr. AAMIR Liaquat has done?
Bottom line - She got a better offer from Dunia.
I think none should have concern what ever reasons as people find to switch to avail opportunity for growth
applause for sana for leaving geo for aamir liaquat
Amir liaqat is just an excuse. She got a good offer from Dunia TV and could not resist the temptation of getting a pocket full money package. Earlier on, Abdul Malik, Younus Butt, Hassan Nisar, Nazir Naji have left GEO and joined DUNIA TV. Don't tell me that they all had objection to Amir Liaqat's appearance on GEO.
So Geo wants Aamir Liaqat over Sana Bucha? Have they lost their minds?
I respect her views but i think she is being overly secular. She herself has become a radical exteremist secular
@sharjeel: well... u r right bro..:) but lets bet on sana not duniya (the mubashir-meher saga).
@Rashid: Do you really need something else?
Does any one know whats up with her and Aamir Liaqat?
Beautiful anchor with sweet voice
Who cares, she will rejoin Geo in an year or two.
Want to know that what problem Sana has with Dr. Aamir Liaqat Hussain ? Do the off air comments of Dr. Aamir has triggered her to take this step or something else ?
Everyone has a right to make money as much as one can do and every journalist/anchor person is for sale, only the buyer is required. If it was the issue of Principles, why she continued after Aamir Liaquat.
i think she should give some explaination
I read a column the other day which said that a retd Pak army officer told a news channel that the leading anchor Mr Kamran Khan was on the etablishment payroll? is it true?
Why is she against Amit Liaqat? & what is her principle stand? Why is she against anybody doing a program on Malala? I think people should stop praising Sana for something which they don't understanad.
At least it is good for PML-N. Sana Bucha known for anti-PTI programmes will give a boost on Dunya TV to the PML-N policies.
so is dunia TV morally good channel? it seems sana has forgot the planted interview scandel
It does not matter which channel she works for, she still remains on PML-N's payroll.
To what depths can GEO sink? I have a suggestion, get Aamir Liaqat to host a call-in show on minority rights and religious freedom. Sana Bucha was too good for Geo, she should have left a long time ago.
Whats wrong with aamir liaquat being offered that show on malala ? Just asking.
@resilient: Dunya news is really well known for its principles right?
PTI supporters need not to smile from ear to ear; her legendary thrashing of their beloved CHANGE Party will continue unabated. ;)
"Geo" with such rules Sana Bucha. You have done good job.
@mahmood: agreed...!!! keep up to your principles sana...ur stand is really admirable...
She is one of the best talk show hosts in the region. And Geo opted to keep Aamir Liaquat...
So what happened to those 'geo asool' she talked about that made geo the best channel
If the reason given is actually the case, she has my admiration.
