The good doctor returns to the good channel!
Dr. Aamir Liaquat is set to return to Geo Television, where he will host a morning show called Subh-e-Pakistan. This follows his short stint at Express News.

ISLAMABAD: When JournalismPakistan.com exclusively reported on September 18 that Dr. Aamir Liaquat Hussian was returning to Geo Television, people thought we had gone badly wrong.

How could it be that the pious doc who joined the Express News Television hardly five months earlier be contemplating a return, they asked. But here he is - the good doctor - back at the channel that made him 'Aalim Online' - now ready to host a morning show named Subh -e-Pakistan that Geo claims will be the flavor of the morning starting November 19.

Dr Aamir, had left Geo in June at a difficult time when it was in trouble with the military for alleging the then ISI chief as being responsible for the attack on its presenter Hamid Mir.

Dr Aamir first quit Geo in 2012 only to be rehired later on double the salary from ARY News.

Key Points

  • Dr. Aamir Liaquat rejoins Geo Television after five months away.
  • He will host a new morning show, Subh-e-Pakistan, starting November 19.
  • Previously hosted Aalim Online on Geo and made a notable exit in 2012.
  • His return comes after controversy involving the military and Geo.
