I also don’t believe in any news from the mharo tabloid but i have confirmed it, NTV/QTV has been merged. Nation FM and QFM closed. The rumours have been there for a while so its not a surprise. QTV and Nation FM have been doing poorly with little revenue coming in and low ratings. Now you understand why they fought Digital T.V migrations. The over 80 new T.V stations has spread viewership to single digits and soon even the news stations will suffer. The ultimate kick in the mouth was when Inooro T.V and other 4 Kikuyu stations came up and started slowly taking up advertising budgets. Now Inooro revenue will soon match its parent Citizen T.V by the end of this year.

Watch out for standard media who are surviving on Bank and shareholders loans. They acrimoniously conducted retrenchment last year but they are still spending more than they get. That may go under this year with KTN, radio Maisha and Standard newspapers.

This is tragic for QTV employees… and the three people who watched it once a week.

Work in the media is so unpredictable unless you become a brand as a person in itself

I don’t trust them wholy, but I’m careful on dismissing them. They have been vilified as gutter press several times only for their stories to come out as true as truth itself!

The moment they drove Kenya blindly during digital migration is where they started losing it. They should know people are slowly learning what digital migration is.

Season of the long knives for the media and journalists.

this is very true. but also brands fall (louis otieno et al).

also, in the fta sector where I once worked, there is a hiring and firing cycle.
just before elections, hiring frenzy. 2-3 years in, firing frenzy.
it’s volatile because they’re politically controlled - whether you like to believe it or not.
when in the media, do the best you can, make all the contacts and friends you can and keep your integrity.
find your way to advance to management and get off the screen.
the screen/on-air is only good for so long.
grow off the screen.

in the end it is the consumer that benefits, unless i.e. we get to have Murdoch through Mergers like the U.S.A that is a behemoth in the media industry, then it won’t be healthy at all
