FM listening | An artiste with a difference by Sehrish Wasif |
| |
While listening to the whole day long transmission of various FM channels one really wonders why these FM channels do not come up with some different, unique and refreshing ideas. Why they always offer old stuff with new label? However, it does not mean that our FM industry lacks professional people and creative minds. Yes, we do have some brilliant minds working behind various shows on various channels and Shahzaib Atif is one of them. |
