I wonder, whether they feel good about themselves using hard urdu words not commonly used in hindi or do they think they have some audience in Pakistan?

In fact if they used more sanskrit words, other Indians with non-hindi mother toungue will have a much easier time tracking the language. And those channels will get a bigger non-hindi audience.

But as you said, there seems to be strange fetish of using hard urdu words mixed with cheap deshaj quips and english khichdi, while deliberately avoiding sanskrit words.

The present hindi news uses a hindi-haters version of hindi.

Someone should call these news-reders bluff.
