For all those who were eagerly switching between channels to find their new news channel Maathrubhumi Television was in a pleasant surprise yesterday night. They took some minutes to finalise that the TV news anchor who is reading the news yesterday at 8 30 pm was none other than their favourite superstar Mammootty. The actor who has been playing a journalist many times in his 30 year old film career, nicely managed himself as a impressive news personality switching over between interviews and news bits. He also moderated the chat with Dileep and Karthika Nair on the release of their new film 'Kammth and Kammath' and also did some telephone interviews amidst the half an hour bulletin.

The thirty minutes show off from the star , becoming a real time news caster was the highlight of the Mathrubhumi channel which started official transmission yesterday.
