He was the anchor of Pakistan’s first independent English talk show on Geo TV and had also served as the director of international affairs at the same network.
Husain’s contribution to the Pakistani media industry includes spearheading the launch of three channels in Pakistan, including Express News, Express 24/7, and Capital TV. With his return to journalism, the industry is sure to benefit from his vast experience and knowledge.
