Can secular host TV show about Jewish tradition?

Channel 1, which is the Public Channel in Israel, airs a show called “Mekablim Shabbat” (Receiving the Sabbath),hosted by Dov Elboim, in which several personalities from the Israeli spectrum, writers, comedians, singers, professors, etc, are invited to discuss the weekly Parasha portion.
I view the show almost every week, and I have always liked the fact that each one of the guests, provides his own interpretation to the text, some based on Rabbinic interpretation, some on personal studies or experiences, bringing a “modern” view into the Bible reading, allowing for viewers, especially those who feel these are “ancient” texts with no relevance into their lives, to make this connection, to understand and view the text in a different light, one from which the Bible is meaningful to every Jew, ancient or Modern, religious or secular.
Meir Porush, deputy Education Minister form the Ultra Orthodox party United Torah Judaism, does not share this view, and believes, that a secular host, who does not wear a kippah, has no place meddling in religious issues; from his complain I would say that he doesn’t even watch the show since he recalls what “ a viewer” told him about it: “Moreover, a viewer who wrote to me said that the host's interpretations do not fall in line with the accepted interpretations in Judaism, and constitute a desecration of what Judaism holds sacred."
In his response, Israel broadcasting Authority head Motti Shklar claims rightfully that: “ the host has the utmost love and respect for the tradition and its content, but surely people who do not wear a kippah also have the right and the obligation to be part of the Jewish tradition, in their own way."
There are several reasons that have kept the secular public to distance themselves from studying traditional texts; the importance of resuming this practice is central to the survival of Jewish tradition and life in Israel and the Diaspora. Openness and tolerance from both parts is central to accomplish this matter.
