Kiss100 Archives

Kamene Goro and Andrew Kibe came together from NRG Radio as a package deal that involved their show’s producer, Xtian Dela when they were poached by Kiss100. Unfortunately, that audacious play at market disruption did not pan out to be a longtime play with the team eventually exiting the Radio Africa Limited owned company.

Kamene Goro’s reaction to Andrew Kibe’s termination is surprisingly grounded

This has resulted in Kamene Goro being the only survivor left standing at Kiss100. On Monday morning, however, her solo run at the show told a very clear story to the world. And I for one sorely missed Kibe’s energy and the chemistry that was undeniable.

Now, make no mistake about it, Kiss100 will definitely survive that minor speed-bump and inconvenience of having to let go of Kibe but they, along with Kamene Goro will have to dig deep to change the show’s format into something that works.

Rumour has it that Jalang’o will be joining the show to inject some much-needed foil energy to Kamene Goro’s morning segment and that will definitely help set the pace. But outside of this, what happens to Kamene Goro outside of Kiss100 now that her partner in crime is gone from radio?

Well, as with anyone else, Kamene Goro could set up a podcast. The challenge with this, however, is the fact that we haven’t really gotten to hear a lot of her thoughts as she hasn’t really created a brand and niche for herself. As a result, unlike with Andrew kibe, Kamene Goro would have to start laying the foundation for her podcast -essentially starting from the ground up.

Kamene Goro could always target getting on TV with a show. She has in the past had a show with Shaffie Weru and DJ Hypnotiq but that was a crowded show. Kamene Goro could always go the route of setting up a show that would be in the lifestyle mould that the likes of Tyra Banks or closer to home, Grace Msalame.

And the final option open to Kamene Goro would be for her to continue working with her former teammates off the Radio Africa Limited platforms such as Kiss100 and actually build a digital ecosystem for themselves. Xtian Dela, after all, is a Wizz at creating Digital videos and platforms, Andrew Kibe is already chemistry she had built up and can always tap into almost with no energy at all.
Kamene could commit to doing the work to build podcast/ video or any other platform with Andrew Kibe and Xtian Dela that would allow her to note only safeguard her radio platform but that comes with zero of the red tape she had to endure over at Kiss100.

Jalang’o aka Jalas, aka Heavy J is an example of why people should invest heavily on building their brands -especially those in media. You see, he was fired from Mediamax owned Milele FM for refusing to accept a fifty per cent pay cut just a few short days ago.

And already, it would seem like luck is on his side because following a reported meeting with the Radio Africa Limited CEO, Patrick Quarcoo, news just reaching us this morning intimates that the company which owns Kiss 100 has decided to part ways with Andrew Kibe.

The details for this decision is still not clear but what is clear is that if you’re a lazy bum, you think this is proof that Jalang’o has a guardian angel or luck on his side.

Jalang’o should now chase independent media pursuits

The truth of the matter, however, is less grandiose or based on destiny than you would like to think: he -Felix Odiwuor is simply reaping the rewards of all the hard work he put into his brand as Jalang’o which has amassed for him a following and that is why Radio Africa Limited has been flirting with the idea of bringing him on board.

Add to this the fact that he has also been building his digital presence with a YouTube account that has grown as if he had fed it steroids and you see why other media houses would want to get him. Most traditional media companies have a protected position due to the heavy capital investment required and the political connections one must have to start radio stations. As a result of the internet, however, the barriers to entry into the media and content creation field no longer exist and as a result, traditional media is struggling to get a foothold in the digital space outside of reporting news.

And Jalang’o had the sense to sit in that desired space -an organically grown and maintained content generation field with a massive following.

So as we wait to see what unfolds, I would wager that Kiss 100 is waiting on the wings for an opportune time or perhaps they will create that time themselves and they will announce that Jalang’o has joined their staff and he will very likely be paired with Kamene Goro.

Still, that morning show has lacked stability since Caroline Mutoko left the scene and while Adelle and Shaffie brought some semblance of stability, it was short-lived. It will be interesting to see what unfolds from here on out.
