Sports ace Waheed Khan set to return to television screen
Waheed Khan, a renowned sports journalist, has joined GTV HD to host a new program. He returns to television after a six-month hiatus since leaving Geo Super.

KARACHI – Waheed Khan, one of Pakistan’s most prominent and competent sports journalists, has joined GTV HD where he goes on air on December 10.

Khan also covered sports for Reuters for 14 years and was a staff reporter for three years.

He also runs Cafe Cricket on YouTube, an independent cricket centric show in which all matters relating to Pakistan cricket are discussed threadbare.

KEY POINTS:

  • Waheed Khan will host 'G Sports with Waheed Khan' on GTV HD.
  • He has a rich history in sports journalism, including 15 years with The News.
  • Khan is known for covering major sporting events like the Olympics and World Cups.
