JANMAT-The Views Channel Launched

The not-so-much-publishised 'views' channel from the Shri Adhikari Brothers has atlast been launched after long delay. The new channel which comes with its unique USP was launched without any fanfare-infact quietly on yesterday evening at 8 pm.
The first show on Janmat was that of Shekhar Suman who is anchoring a serious news show-Aap Ka Haq. The first show focussed on the forgotten heroes of Indian military-the Prisoners of War languishing in some jails in Pak. Though the programme was good enough to watch but Shekhar Suman seemed an odd choice for such a serious kind of show which he is not accustomed to. It is infact hard to understand why Shekhar Suman is chosen for such a show when Janmat has a long list of many senior anchors. Suman who does not have any journalistic background seemed quite ill-fitted to put the right questions and moderating the session in an intelligent manner. His lack of knowledge of issues clearly showed on the way he handled the show. Sorry, Mr Suman, you are better do Poll Khol on Star News where you just have to add humour to the pre-decied script, but in this kind of serious shows, you better sit in the audience.
Other surprise that Janmat threw was Alka Saxena, who has queitly joined the channel after almost facing a demotion in Zee News. Nobody knows the inside story why Zee News behaved in such a manner to one of its longest serving employee. She was the news editor there. She is hosting a show in Janmat. Among other faces was Vir Shangvi who is anchoring a show 'Faces and Names', an English show with celbrities. But a regular English show in a supposedly Hindi channel! To me hard to digest. What do you think. From my side 50 marks to Janmat on Day one.
