Ammar Masood, heir to the poetic and Persian legacy of well known Urdu/Punjabi poet Anwar Masood, has come a long way from hosting �Ghazal time� on the pioneer FM station in the country, to hosting the late night literary-musicals like Raat gaye, Dayar-e-ishq and the next in line, Dyar-e-sukhan on PTV. Despite his regular appearances on TV, his claim to fame remains the late night show �Ghazal Time� on FM 100 back in 1995. A trend setting program conceptualized and conducted by Ammar Masood which proved to be the beacon for every FM station that emerged in the latter years. His long association with Radio only discontinued when he took up the Daily Morning Transmission of PTV as Host & Script writer. He was associated with the PTV�s Morning Show for a couple of years.
