Always loved your comments on Rs 5. There are some channels that have got the correct talk-show formula (Dawn News and Sama come to mind), but these happen to be among the least popular and financial successful channels. While it is important to blame the talk-show hosts and the channel's management, I guess we also need to blame ourselves for preferring sensationalism over substance.
