TV Guide comes to Pakistan........

[ADIL NAJAM]

Well, well, well......finally Pakistan is on the development track......first
it was those multi channel delights and now its TV Guide.........If CNN, MTV,
NTM, and STAR were there, could TV Guide be far behind?

Yes, Pakistan now has its own TV Guide, published by the same people who
publish the Pakistani versions of TVTimes, Cricketer and Women's Own.

For those of you thinking of going home this summer and worrying that you
might miss the U.S. of A., here's something that would remind you of this
country of the fair in that country of the pure.........

"DON'T WATCH TV IN THE DARK....."

Sound familiar.......yes, its the TV Guide slogan.......both here and in
Pakistan!........some things never change.......no where.......

Adverts for the Pakistani TV Guide (sponsored by Princeton ciggarrettes)
proclaim:

"Why fumble with channels?
Why shoot in the dark?
Know what you're watching
Cause TV Guide is here!
Get TV Guide for programmes on PTV, NTM,
Star TV, Prime Sports and MTV.
Now available at your nearest bookstall."

.....so folks, when you get your copy, could you pick one up for me too......
