What's goin on?


CapitalFM vs. KissFM
Ever since KissFM snatched the Fanta CHAT (Chaguo la Teeniez) Award from CapitalFM earlier this year, invisible battle lines have been drawn between the two radio stations. The latest campaigns are geared towards drawing the enemy lines. A few weeks ago Kiss conducted a win-a-dream-Victorian-wedding campaign that was beautiful but splattered with the harsh colors of controversy. There were claims that the winners just happened to be also close friends of the stations management.

Recently, CapitalFM has been advertising a chance for a makeover of a lucky winner. The ad begins with a majestic voice-over promise of a complete transformation of the winner. The scream of an overjoyed lady follows then the voice declares, “No! We’re not going to get you married!”

All I can say is – DIRECT HIT!


Koinange: Out of CNN?
There are nasty rumors creeping about that the incomparable baritone-voiced Jeff Koinange was thrown out of the Cable News Network due to fabricating stories about Africa. The former KTN (Kenya Television Network) journalist, who rose through the ranks of CNN at the speed of tomorrow’s breaking news, was accused of paying for opportunities to tell stories. He allegedly had an affair with his producer (or something/someone). They later crossed wires and a fall out ensued resulting in his demise and revealing of his ‘dirty shuka’. Apart from Zhane Verjee, who now plies her trade in Asia, he is the only other Kenyan reporter who can lay claim to setting the agenda when it came to stories about Africa. He is a married man and great reporter… Please say it ain’t so!


The best job in Kenya
The continually beautiful Janet Mbugua is the person with the best job in Kenya. She is the lucky host of Out and About Travel Show on KTN. Check out a sample of her job description
v Ability to look good under the sun
v Ability to tolerate having your 30 minutes of fame every week while in casual wear
v Ability to eat a five star meal
v Ability to travel
v Ability to talk and smile
v Ability to attend a spa
v Ability to boil an egg in Lake Bogoria
v Ability to enjoy sailing
v Ability to pay for absolutely nothing in terms of travel expenses while still receiving a salary.
Even a retired president does not come a light year close to that!?
