Kenya Tv Community (KTN) is among the leading television stations in Kenya with its headquarters
positioned along Mombasa Street Nairobi, on the Standard Group Centre Nairobi 1 It was based in
March 1990 by Jared Kangwana 2 and was the primary non-pay privately owned TELEVISIONstation in Africa , and the first to break KBC's monopoly in Kenya. KTN turned so widespread that
there was an enormous spike in television gross sales in Kenya.
Many of the new radio and TELEVISION stations throughout
East and Central Africa not solely relied on KTN as a model,
but benefited straight in terms of recruiting former KTN
employees to run their operations. Since 1990, Kenya Tv
Network has offered a mixture of relayed re-transmission of
Cable News Network (CNN) programming, enterprise and
entertainment, in addition to MTV , and European, American
and Australian programming, along with packages developed in different African states. When the
Kenya Television Network (KTN) opened in 1990, it precipitated a significant shift within the
function of electronic media in Africa.
KTN reporters doubled as foreign correspondents and information sources for CNN World Report,
BBC , and VOA Transmitting on the UHF channel, KTN began out as a pilot venture for a 24-hour
subscriber TV service in Nairobi and its environs, but abandoned plans to scramble its sign and for
many of the 1990s derived its income from promoting and TV manufacturing companies. Founded by
Jared Kangwana , its early success attracted bids for joint ownership by London-based Maxwell
Communications, by South African MNET , and by the then ruling party Kenya African Nationwide
Union (KANU).
The station actively sought to cover tales in the rest of Africa, an angle that was uncommon for TV
stations in Africa at the time. KTN continues to be the breeding ground to some of the country's best
TV anchors introducing on-air abilities similar to Anne Kiguta, one of many country's main feminine
anchors, and James Karani, one of many nation's main enterprise news personalities.
The TELEVISION editors, reporters, producers, and anchors of KTN throughout the nineties
included Catherine Kasavuli , Jacqueline Thom , Raphael Tuju who had also reported on the primary
multiparty elections in Zambia, Fayaz Qureishi Lydia M. Manyasi , and Charles Wachira who covered
the refugee crises in the region. KTN staff in its early years included Joseph Warungu who grew to
Kenyan News become the pinnacle of BBC's Africa Service Another KTN alumnus is Dan Kashagama
, the founding father of the African Unification Front , who originally covered the Somalia desk at
KTN. Ms. Openda also launched several high-affect packages: The Breakfast Present , Third Opinion
and Enterprise Kenya.
