@saleem: "good news , we have enough of religious extremists in urdu media in Pakistan"
Would you care to point out which Urdu channels?
well this could be a good move at least for those working journalists to go ahead with better pay packages who are currently been taking less salaries against their valuable experience & work... the news competition will enhance the quality of news and flow of information..
good news , we have enough of religious extremists in urdu media in Pakistan
Where is the Pakistani Government and PEMRA as they are the ones who are approving this move in the first place. Journalists have access to every nook and corner and in military circles in Pakistan and it is like an Official Set up of a network that will be a disaster for Pakistan in future.
Great, just what we need, another news channel.
