Nadeem, who hosts the current affairs program Islamabad Tonight, could start his new job soon, JournalismPakistan.com has been told by sources at both channels.

Insiders say that Nadeem who has been offered an 8pm slot on DawnNews is keen on doing his program at 10pm instead. “This however is not a big issue and will be sorted out,” said one source.
