Was there a horse trading between the two stations?
By Ohaga Ohaga
A few days ago, I did write something on this blog about The Standard Group /KTN’s employees quitting the station to join other media houses.
The article had been prompted by the mass exit of KTN staff that by the end of April had lost very influential TV presenters who included Esther Arunga, Grace Msalame and Rama Nyan’g.
Nonetheless, it was not certain whether Grace and Rama had left or were on leave.
To that effect, I mentioned that Grace Msalame and Nyang seemed to have called it quits with their former employer.
As it turned out, the two have actually moved- with one confirmation being Grace who by this week was reading news on Capital Fm.
Now it is not so clear whether Grace really quit or there was a horse trading between Capital Fm and KTN?
Why am I saying this? I am saying this because many people seem to be wondering just what happened between KTN and Capital Fm that saw their ex employees switching positions- where Grace Msalame joined Capital Fm and Anne Kiguta moved to KTN.
See, Before Grace joined Capital Fm; she had been presenting a feature program called Artscene on KTN.
Anne Kiguta on the other hand was the news reader at Capital Fm. As it stands now, Anne Kiguta has moved to KTN anchoring news while Grace has already hit the ground running with her new job.
Just so that I put you in the picture- especially for those who don’t watch KTN, Grace was a very hippy and voluptuous lady who first graced your TV station as a host of a youth program called Straight-Up. Before moving on to produce and host a feature program called Art scene.
Prior to that, Janet Mbugua was the programs presenter but was moved to anchor Prime Time news on the same station. (Janet has so far resigned actually she resigned sometime back to join ETV in South Africa).
Still on the change of tune in the musical chairs, Ciku Muiruri who worked at Easy Fm and was popularly known for busting cheating couples did quit to join Classic Fm as a co-host of Nick Odhiambo in the evening program.
Before these happenings, Titi Nagwalla who was the morning show presenter and programs controller at Milele fm had resigned and was poised to join Radio Jambo to serve in the same capacity.
This however, did not happen and it’s not clear what happened. Nonetheless, trust Notes & Quotes to bring you all the vibe.
Until now, word is not out on where Rama Nyan'g went. Like I said trust the blog to get you all info as it rolls.
It seems this game of musical chairs never stops.
By the way, Groove awards were great. Very great. That’s the much I can say.
