I doubt Kei twendi four are doing this because of elections.

4 weeks is too short a time to upset the market leader. Don't forget they just lost their main man, Jeff Koinange(is Capital talk stil there?). They too, need to make money!

Is their programming going to change too? Citizen made it a multi-pronged re-launch with new signings being complemented by new catchy programmes. People found themselves glued to CTV from 6-10pm on Sundays!

I find Citizen news pleasing to watch but too deep on politics with very shallow coverage of everything else. Intl news is non existent here!

Is citizen biased? Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Their bias in the past (2002, 2005 n 2007) was more prononced. But I still think it would have been better for Macharia to support CORD in a more silent way. I hear Inooro is already suffering a backlash.

as for the bias, one week ago I timed campaign cvoverage and CORD got a whooping 5 minutes with all the three principals talking, Jubilee got 2:28 and the others were just images without sound. That's when guys complained in the blogosphere and that Cord citizen logo was designed. but since then they have been behaving

Jeff did not leave per se but he is going to work with a network that wants to go the CNN route and maybe partner with K24. I think K24 is laying grounds for that major upgrade and oh my!

Can those saying that citizen is biased please give evidence of the said bias?

Or is it that if you don't support muthamaki, you are biased?


You do not think that staffs in citizen TV would be intimated and hence feel like they need to toe the line ? For example,it they interview aspirants who are from CORD,don't you think that they will hold back just in case they are reprimanded?

I think it makes it hard for the employees to do their job. I say this a TNA supporter
I am happy

All of you are forgeting that Citizen TV used the same strategy to win viewers.

Citizen was a lowly ranked in the market but when they broke the bank, viewers got ecxited and moved with anchors and other producers.

If the report is true, I expect Citizen to die a natural death especially for the biased role they are playing in reporting matters politics.

Jubilee viewers are fed up with Citizen and immidiately after elections when SK will be waking up from slumber land, he will faint !

It only requires a politician from Central and Rift valley to tell the diehard Jubilee supporters (approximately 7 million, Mcreggae, please dont shoot me)to shun Citizen and watch K24. Remembers marketers (read advertisers) move with politics and where the viewers are.


wewe dagitari wacha porojo, you don't belong to this cadre of thinking. Us mt kenyans are not like that, I can assure you. We cannot be herded like sheep. Even the common wanjiku will disagree.

Btw is it only me or are the jubilee middle class coming up with preposterous theories and tales? The common wanjiku has only one MAJOR reason for supporting uhuruto, not some funny excuses by mindo class.


I just posted this having in mind how Kenyans behave and think in mashinani. I traverse mashinani alot and I can tell you for sure this is what they think.

You and I are above this but if you remember very well, kenyans and more so mashinani complained that KTN was favouring Moi and thats how they started loosing out. In 2005-7, KTN was accused of the same biaseness and more so by politicians while campaigning.
Citizen favoured the Kilifi draft, then kifaki and Central people became Citizen damu.

Unless you people live in illusion, you will agree with my analysis.
