Specific statistical tests along with biased sample (selection bias) have always been used by firms / people to produce wanted results.

Main criticism is,
No clear hypothesis described and no declaration of interest.
Sample size very small for this type of (opinion reflecting) study
No selection criteria for chosen programs
Use of complex statistics and no P values

So I am unable to believe the results although I am not fan of any TV channel

@ Aristotle
thanx bro n u r rite i’m only 19yrs of age. so only rely on info. secondly yes atif is his brother but kashif is more good.
yaaar Allah k wastay mujhay solangi sahab ka koi elaaj bata do inko kyun yeh lagta hai k Talat was not banned. khuda k liye admin inko woh sab shows dikha dein ya woh article paraha dein where it is crystal clear that talat was on top of banned anchors. yes he appeared a couple of times but immediately he n nusrat were forced to get lost frm screens.

Hamid Mir aka SOOLANGIAgain toota kahani who is banned or not.Does it make any difference?Talat was not doing his program till jan2008.He was coming as guest , so does nusrat javed in pre election coverage
By the shahid masood was also banned according to your comment, did it mattered —For me it does not matter.What matters is what you are writing and saying. The way you conduct your program.You are not geeting the point.I am analysing a program or column on its merit.If capital talk is good, i will say this. Some time it is.I liked bolta guys, but off late they ahve lost touch. But off an on they do good program.Talat has majority of good programs, but he has done use less ones as well.Try to be mature and dont repeat ALIF NOON.Education plays a role in the personality of an anchor and i think, talat and nusrat have more knowledge then hamid and kashifJaved ch has improved alot.What is wrong in improving, be it TALAT orHAMID MIR.

But i still think that AAJ tv current affairs programs are really way above others.

Now ny source is Afzal Butt,President of Islamabad Union of Journalists.I just spoke to him Royal TV office.

He said that Musharraf government banned all TV channels on November 3rd 2007,all channels were restored except Geo by November 25th and 6 anchors remained banned till March 2008.

1-Nusrat Javaid
2-Musharaq Minhas
3-Kashif Abbasi
4-Asma Sherazi
5-Hamid Mir
6-Dr.Shahid Masood

According to Afzal Butt he continued his protest against the ban for 72 days.Talat Hussain did some shows outside Islamabad Press Club during those days but he started his programe on Aaj TV in December 2007,Asma Sherazi and Kashif started their programe in Febraury 2008,Nusrat and Mushataq started in March 2008 and then Hamid Mir and Dr.Shahid were also back after a meeting between PFUJ delegation and Zardari.According to Afzal Butt Zardari banned Hamid Mir again on June 12th 2008.There was no protest from Aitzaz Ahsan or any other lawyers leader on that ban and PFUJ developed differences with lawyers but even then Hamid Mir supported Kurd in his column

gud to hear that u belongs to a journalist family… that could be a reason to get more information and knowledge abt relevant field and players…that’s mean u have a very credible source of information… great! r u interested in getting journalism degree?
Mr Talat Hussain should be happy that he has fans like u …
I believe that u gets information from different sources becoz I think u were not in this world when kashif was 3 years old? One thing more, I heard from somewhere that Atif Abbasi (saama tv) is his brother (elder or younger, I don’t know) his show runs on saama tv with the title of calling Islamabad or something like that… but I did not watch his show from a ling time.. perhaps his show timing has been changed…
Anyways, gud luck to u and all Pakistanis… cheers
