Ship का anchor यानी लंगर उसे एक जगह स्थिर रखता है। News anchor भी पूरे programme का लंगर है — वही शुरू से आख़िर तक show को बाँधकर और सँभालकर रखता है।

An anchor (langar) holds a ship steady in one place. A news anchor does the same job for a programme: he or she holds the whole show together and keeps it steady from start to finish.

Exam note

‘Person who presents a radio/television programme’ के लिए anchor पूछा जाता है। Stage show में performers को introduce करने वाले के लिए one word compere है, इसे अलग रखिए।

Asked as ‘a person who presents a radio or television programme’. Do not mix it with compere, the one word for a person who introduces performers at a stage show.
