Syed Talat Hussien
To me the most articulate, well organized and balanced anchor-cum-journalist among the current crop of Pakistan. Although I do have many differences on his slightly negative slant against the so called war on terror campaigns against different parts of the world including the illegal & ruthless operations in FATA, Afghan-Pak border & Baluchistan regions of Pakistan but overall for me hes the best in this business of opinionated journalism in the world leave alone in Pakistan.
Dr. Shahid Masood
He used to be my most favourite anchor of Pakistan when he used to be with ARY One news network, however after joining the Geo News I think something strange happened to his style of working. His annoyingly persistent obsession with singular personalities, first with General P. Musharraf and then later with A.A Zardari, has led to the diminution of his crafty and objective laden innovative approach in his newly adopted profession of television journalism.
Kamran Shahid & Mazhar Abbas
Im unable to make my third choice obvious and therefore jointly name them here on this list. Kamran though do lack some investigative skills on a given issue / subject matter but overall his choice of unique topics ranging from social and religious issues has established his career firmly in his adoptive field of electronic medias talk show host. Mazhar to me is a complete and bona fide journalist who has stuck to the roots of his first choice profession and has acquired the necessary skills and qualifications before eventually joining in as an objective and assertive anchor of current affairs shows for ARY News network.

1- Talat Hussain............... the best
2- Dr Shahid Masood
3- Orya Jaan Maqbool
I hate Abbas Athar...... Kalaam Kaar. Kashif Abbasi and Javed Chaudry doesn't do research anymore. Nadeem Malik and Mehar Bukhari are emerging and promissing anchors. If people are picking Aftab Iqbal then Azizi should be in as one of my top 3 picks.

What I observed a common habit among all TV Anchors is that they intend to put their words in the mouth of their guests and urge to get the comments what they are portraying. Frequent interruption during the guest comments is very bad habit and most of the time annoying the TV Viewers.
Apart from this all TV Anchors are following their Media Masters and they just released the facts which are in their favor in spite of knowing much than that what they are revealing during their shows. You know theses Anchors are enjoying with the foreign diplomats and minting money which is their prime function irrespective of the national interest of Pakistan. You can watch YOU-TUBE videos where most of them are "tun" with American and in other diplomatic parties. I cannot give any grading to anyone as these are all part of one pan. We may call them "Modern Bhand".
Only factor to be considered here is the quality of presentation of each anchor and his personality like the TV, Film and Stage Actors and actresses, which is everybody's liking and disliking as per his vision.
