Duraid Qureshi Resigns as HUM TV CEO: Speculations Surround New Leadership
Karachi: In a significant development for Pakistan’s entertainment industry, Duraid Qureshi has stepped down as the CEO of HUM TV, a position he held since the channel’s inception. Known for his visionary leadership, Qureshi was pivotal in establishing HUM TV as a household name in the country and beyond.
HUM TV began its operations in 2005, quickly gaining popularity for producing high-quality dramas and family-oriented content. The channel delivered numerous iconic productions, including Humsafar, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, and Ehd-e-Wafa, solidifying its leading name in the entertainment sector.
With Qureshi’s resignation, the question of his successor has become a hot topic in the media industry. HUM Network Limited has yet to announce the name of the new CEO officially, but speculation is rife about who will take the reins of the channel known for shaping modern Pakistani drama.
HUM News Struggles to Mirror HUM TV’s Success
While HUM TV thrived under Qureshi’s leadership, its sister channel, HUM News, has struggled to replicate the same success. Launched to provide a fresh take on news broadcasting, HUM News failed to capture a substantial audience. Analysts attribute this to intense competition in the news market, inconsistent programming strategies, and an inability to differentiate itself from established players.
Despite these challenges, HUM TV remains a benchmark for quality entertainment in Pakistan. Industry insiders are keenly watching to see if the new leadership can sustain its legacy and overcome the hurdles faced by its news counterpart.
Duraid Qureshi’s departure marks the end of a chapter for HUM TV, leaving fans and stakeholders eagerly awaiting the network’s next steps in its ongoing journey.
