News that cheers

Tired of gory news on television with reporters shouting at the peak of their voices? Sahara Samay is coming with a half-an-hour weekly series ‘Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye.’ “Most channels have forgotten about happy news. Through this seri es we want to show that even development news could be entertaining,” says the show’s host Vartika Nanda.

She insists there is no dearth of positive news around us. “It is just in the name of trend and TRPs, channels are neglecting such news.” Not sure as to how it will fare in the TRP war, she has put a pigeon among the cats, and adds, “Let’s see how the cats react.”
