JournalismPakistan.com quoted sources as saying that ratings of
Malick’s programme were not growing and that the 8pm slot he was given
will likely to go to Sana Bucha, who recently joined
Dunya News after quitting
Geo.
Bucha had resigned from Geo over differences with the channel’s management.
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.”
Anchorperson Muhammad Malick’s talk show on Dunya News “Dunya @ 8 with Malick” will be taken off air from next week, reported JournalismPakistan.com on Wednesday.
The former Islamabad resident editor of
The News made the
announcement during his show on Tuesday and said that the reason that
the show was being discontinued was that the Dunya Group was planning on
launching an English language daily.
Malick is also the Group Editor Publications-English at Dunya Group,
which also launched an Urdu newspaper in September. He had joined the
group in July.
