Ian Wafula: BBC rejected me four times before picking me 

The recent mass media movement has seen media employees switch media houses this year more than any other.

Former K24 news anchor Ian Wafula is among those who switched station after moving to British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) which has been poaching journalists at a high rate.

His move, however, was not easy. He recently confessed that he was rejected four times by the giant media house before they picked him.

“New chapter. Looking forward to starting soon at the BBC as Broadcast Journalist, News Review. I’d like to call it my new home but it’s bigger than that, the next step in my career. I’ve seen God’s manifestation in this process having been rejected 4 times after endless tests and grueling interviews. What’s yours is yours, at the right time,” said Wafula on social media.

Pushed

He went on to thank Larry Madowo who pushed him to reach for greatness and never settle for less.

“Thanking my family and close friends for standing by me.Special thanks to @larrymadowo for the three challenging words “You deserve better” that took me off my comfort zone to yearn for greater opportunities” shared Ian Wafula.

 

NTV gives Larry Madowo extra airtime to inject life into new show after he quit the Trend

Larry Madowo will be on your screens for a longer time starting this Wednesday. The NTV journalist has directed his energy to a new show after he quit the Trend.

Nation Media has indeed acknowledged that Larry Madowo has the Midas touch, the extra airtime they gave Larry proves this assumption.

Larry Madowo took over the Trend in December 2012 and made it to be the dopest and most watched entertainment show in Kenya. Larry however quit the Trend a fortnight ago and now it’s clear what plans his bosses had for him.

Apparently Nation media honchos want Larry to work his magic on the relatively new political show Sidebar. Larry has been given extra airtime to inject life into Sidebar – just like he was given extra airtime when ratings for The Trend skyrocketed.

“Starting tonight and every Wednesday on @ntvkenya, our show #Sidebar gains an extra hour at 10pm. So we’re on at 8pm & 10pm because there’s lots to cover in these extraordinary times and we want to get through all of it. Tonight, Senator Joy Gwendo & MP Junet Mohammed will join me at 8pm. At 10pm, I’ve got Senators Mutula Kilonzo Junior & Kipchumba Murkomen. Let’s do this, shall we?” Larry Madowo announced.
