There is growth there....
Digital copy sales up 24%
Kenya Buzz +15%
Lit 360 up over 100%
Google Ad revenue up over 100%

Digital sources contribution to total revenue still low, but on an upward trajectory.

In radio and TV, if you don't have Kikuyu stations you are missing out big time. I would advise they buy Mt. Kenya TV. They have really good programs but nasikia Ngirici halipi mishahara. They are the most mashinani focused TV station in Kenya.

They seem to be chasing google AdSense revenue aggressively with full screen ads for mobile readers. This has a negative impact on readers experience and will eventually drive off mobile readers from its website

The kikuyu space is overcrowded now. They still can make more in broadcast by getting a no news channel.


But if mr chairman left then may be an even more aggressive agenda can be pursued

They can start a strictly business/investment TV like CNBCA, Bloomberg or buyout Metropol TV and make it an East African thing. Judging by the number of Kenyans who are into investments be it mashinani, or humu humu wazua, i bet they can make advertising revenue

I would recommend going the other direction, get more gutter, get more emotional and get popular vernacular presenters who currently run their own small shows. Go on Youtube and see how many views shows like "Metha ya Kagoni", "Jeff Kuria Tv" and "Kikuyu Diaspora Tv" get. These are one man/woman TV stations except for Monica Kagoni who is with Mt. Kenya TV but it is still her show.

Make an acquisition of Zuku TV or Kwese Kenya Assets

They have the assets....Remember they closed down a Kiswahili station and bought an online magazine.....why not go full blown entertainment with that. That's a niche market that will soon be grabbed by Caroline Mutoko and the Star if they dont move fast
