KARACHI: Although DawnNews Television have tried the best to keep a lid on news of vital staff quitting and joining other channels, it apparently looks like there are solid indications of a mini exodus under way.

Rifat was manager Technical Aaj TV from 2005 to 2007.
Worse still there are unconfirmed reports that a good number of the DawnNews sales team has moved to Capital TV. This would be quite a setback as it would affect revenue and outreach of the channel.
Earlier this year, the channel faced similar problems at its Peshawar bureau when several experienced reporters quit.
