Seasoned broadcast journalist Sana Mirza has made another major career move, joining Aik News as the host of its flagship prime time current affairs program, Front Line. After spending the past two years at Public News, where she anchored news analysis shows and strengthened the channel’s current affairs portfolio, Sana is now set to bring her trademark style of sharp questioning and in-depth analysis to a new platform.

Sana Mirza began her journalism career in 2003 as a radio jockey on FM100 and joined Geo News in 2005, quickly becoming one of the channel’s leading anchors. Over nearly a decade at Geo, she built a strong on-screen reputation, known for her confidence and incisive interviewing skills. During this period, she also hosted programs on Voice of America (Urdu) and covered a wide range of social issues. In 2015 Mirza left Geo News and moved to Jaag TV to host a new current-affairs program, later anchoring shows at other networks such as 92 News and 24 News while also contributing to Geo’s digital content team.
