Fahd back at Express News: reports
Fahd Hussain is set to make a comeback at Express News as Director News. His return follows a position that has been vacant since his departure in 2010.

ISLAMABAD: Job-hopping executive and television anchor Fahd Hussain is reported to have joined Express News, a channel he quit in 2010.

Reports say he returns as Director News, a position that lay vacant since he left, expect for a stint by Nadeem Raza.

With BOL TV flexing its wings, the Lakhanis decided to go for a revamp in order to compete with other channels. One step in that direction was to get back Fahd who once helped the channel take off.

Fahd was with Capital News and had arrived there from Waqat TV where he served less than five months. Before that he was Executive Director Special Projects at ARY TV and also had stints with Dunya (2010-11) besides Express News (2006- 2010).

KEY POINTS:

  • He takes the role of Director News, a vacant position since his exit.
  • Fahd previously worked with several channels including ARY and Dunya.
  • The decision to rehire him comes amid increased competition from BOL TV.
