He has been an analyst and commentator for many current affairs programs for various international TV and Radio channels, before joining CNBC Pakistan in 2005.
He was one of the few senior journalists who conducted programme for PTV News and Current Affairs Channel and Radio Pakistan before the advent of private news channels in the country. He hosted News Morning and News Night for PTV, which were leading talkshows of that time.

Hum News is one of the leading entertainment channels in Pakistan and launched a News Channel hoping to cash in on the brand name. Hum News would hope bringing a big name on the channel would bring more eye balls. With unprecedented pressure on Geo News, it does look like that the field has opened up for other channels
