Summary

ISLAMABAD — Senior journalist Kamran Khan is set to return to television with his program on ARY Digital Network, marking his comeback to the screen after a period focused on digital media.

The show, titled 'On My Radar,' will begin airing on April 6, running Monday through Friday at 8:03 p.m., according to a promotional video released by the network on social media.

Digital-first messaging shapes return

In the promo, Khan tells viewers that his time away from television “was not silence,” but the beginning of a new direction. He frames his return as aligned with global shifts in politics, economics, and power structures, positioning the program as a response to a changing world.

He promises sharp questioning, independent analysis, and investigative reporting, including a focus on corruption and deeper insights into major news developments. The tone of the messaging suggests an effort to differentiate the show from conventional news shows by emphasizing analysis and “the news inside the news.”

The program branding also highlights a hybrid editorial approach that draws from both television and digital journalism formats.

Return follows Nukta’s integration into ARY

Khan’s comeback comes after recent changes in Pakistan’s media landscape involving Nukta, the digital platform he launched.

In March, ARY Digital Network announced it had acquired a majority stake in Nukta, bringing the platform into its broader broadcast and digital ecosystem. The move signaled a strategic push by ARY to expand its presence in digital news as audience consumption increasingly shifts online.

Nukta is expected to continue operating from its Dubai base while being integrated into ARY’s international media network, reflecting a growing convergence between traditional broadcasters and digital-first outlets.

Industry shift toward hybrid journalism

Khan’s return to ARY underscores a broader trend in Pakistan’s media sector, where established television networks are investing in digital platforms and personalities with strong online presence.

The development highlights how leading journalists are increasingly operating across multiple platforms, combining broadcast reach with digital engagement to stay relevant in a rapidly evolving media environment.

WHY THIS MATTERS: This development highlights the growing integration of digital-first journalism with traditional television in Pakistan. For media professionals, it underscores the importance of cross-platform storytelling and adapting editorial strategies to shifting audience habits. It also reflects how major networks are leveraging established journalists to bridge broadcast and digital audiences.
