Media Drama

Gaetano Kagwa and Eve D’Souza Quit Capital FM

After several months as Capital FM’s Breakfast show presenters, Eve D’Souza and her co-host Gaetano Kagwa have resigned from the station.

The two were brought in by the station management to help revitalize the station’s sinking ratings in the prime time show after Fareed Khimani and Seanice left.

The unprecedented departure left many with speculations on what could have just happened.

After taking over from the extremely rated Seanice and Fareed, it’s said that the ratings had gone down a thing that was not amusing to the management. The two has therefore been under pressure to improve the ratings.

What most people don’t understand is before quitting the station, the two had gone for a leave only to come back on air and leave the establishment almost immediately.

Sources indicate that the two handed in their letters last week Friday.

Eve D’Souza who many remember as the popular presenter of a night show- Hits not Homework said that making the decisions was difficult for her.

Eve has been with station for at least ten years.

It’s wait and see as the management seeks to replace the duo. Will Kirubi be heading back to Uganda or will he keep it truly local?

In the meantime, Gaetano seem to be preparing for his flight back home while Eve is said to be highly sorted by several media outlets. Top on the list is the urban One FM formerly Radio One and Classic Fm.

Eve nonetheless, is tight-lipped over her next move even though speculation is rife that she may just stay in the silver screen.

Elsewhere, in the media circus,

Ciku sorted by Civil Rights Bodies and Maina may just leave radio after all


During one of the interviews with Jeff Koinange on the bench,(The Capital Talk) Maina at one time confessed that while having a drink in a pub a man walked towards him and slapped him in the face. ‘That is for spoiling my wife’ the man said.

It seems it’s not only this man has been rubbed the wrong way or should I say not happy with the Maina Kageni and Mwalimu Kinga'ng'i's, no- hold barred content of the morning show.

Rated as the leading show in Kenya, Classic 105′s Breakfast has been given six months to examine its content or face the music. Legally speaking.

This development came about after the two most sorted radio personalities were summoned by the Kenya Film and Censorship Board last week.

The KFCB word was clear. Clean up the air or face the law.

Maina was not happy with development and he may decide to leave radio if bad comes to worse. The morning shows popular topics surrounds marriage relationship and the married. Technically termed as adult content.

Creative Ciku Muiruri on the other side seems to be having problems with Civil Rights after supposedly assuming the HIV status of a woman in her show segment Busted.

The “Busted” segment, has been so far put under notice by the KFCB- who asked the station management to scrap it off terming violations of the broadcasting law.

Both Maina and Ciku's program according to sources were given six-month period to shape up.

Finally,
