These are turbulent times for Nation Media employees as the Kimathi Street Media house restructures.
The new move, fuses its two television stations (QTV and NTV) into one multi-lingual station as it scales down its employees in Kenya(Nation and Q F.M) and Rwanda (K F.M).
Among its latest casualties is Larry Madowo, Daniel Weke, Shose Oyalo and Eddie Butita who hosted a Saturday morning show (The Larry Madowo Show)on Nation F.M.
Larry Madowo took to one of his social media pages to break down the news and thank all those who gave him an opportunity to host a radio show.
My shiny forehead and I had the privilege of hosting The Larry Madowo Show on Nation FM over the last 2 years. Alongside @danielweke, @shoseoyalo and @eddiebutita we helped dumb down humanity by laughing much too loudly and saying nothing important. Nation FM rewarded us by giving us a Saturday morning slot and throwing in an extra hour. We only enjoyed our move to radio suburbia for 3 weeks but it was raucous messy and glorious. The Nation Media Group has changed its broadcast strategy and we have to bid adieu to this beloved station. This was one of the highlights of my week and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity. Special thanks to Manwa Magoma who gave me the show, Tim Oriedo who let me keep it as well as Jimmy Gathu and Sean Cardovillis who kept it on. In my first 2 weeks, Prince Nesta patiently taught me how to operate the console and software without once mentioning how dumb I was. That’s how you know he’s a nice person. I couldn’t have done it without Shose, Eddie, DP & all the guests who dropped in on us. Most of all, thank you for listening
