Standard Group launches new radio station

By Ohaga Ohaga

Standard Group the Publishers of the Standard Newspaper, and owners of KTN and pds have added another fruit to their basket- A new radio station- Radio Maisha.

After several months after the take over of Radio Simba early last year, speculation was rife on whether the station would retain its same, or continue working on the same environment.

That speculation has now been put to rest as the Standard Group launched the new station at their new offices in Standard Center along Mombasa Road.

Rama N'yang in the meantime has joined Radio One broadcasting station on 97.1 after resigning from KTN while Wellington Nyongesa joined the new station Radio Maisha alongside Peter Adamz who resigned few weeks ago from Baraka fm.

Wellington Nyongesa once worked at KTN as a reporter before moving to Citizen TV in the same capacity and later to BBC East Africa Bureau before being poached by Granton Samboja of Milele fm to head news.
As karma would have it, it’s like Nyongesa has gone full circle.

Nyongesa joins Radio Maisha as news editor.

Like Nyongesa, Titi Nagwalla who worked at Milele Fm has also made 360 turn and now works for his former employer the Radio Africa Group.

Nagwalla resigned at Milele fm citing managerial differences and was to join Radio Jambo as programs comptroller and morning presenter.

However, it’s like he only got one position as Carol Radull still holds the position of programs comptroller.
Nagwalla now co-presents with Jacob Mulee at the station.

Still on musical chairs and the cropping up of Fm stations, I truly believe there is nothing new Radio Maisha brought on board.

It's like they just copied and pasted what other stations has.
As matter of fact, they are even doing it more poorly. They have this awful female news reader.

Has Nyongesa ever listened to her?
