Ghafla Exclusive: Nation Media Fires More People From NTV

Media shake-ups happen from time to time. But nothing quite beats what went down in 2013.

Mediamax Network Limited started off by discharging at least 73 journalists drawn from its radio and TV divisions and soon after Radio Africa Group’s Kiss TV trimmed down most of their employees. Then came the mass firing at Nation Media Group where many were sent packing after an audacious restructuring move.

News reaching us is that the dreaded mass firing at Nation Media is back, and a few have been sacked mainly from the Broadcasting Dept .According to our source those fired were let go for being ‘redundant.’

6 Studio technical operators, 2 cameramen (including the head of NTV cameramen) 2 reporters and 2 News Directors are among those who have been axed.

This sad incident comes after the CEO promised the whole department face to face during a meeting that not a single job will be lost because of the transition. This was during the infamous digital switch off.

This move comes after several shows on both NT and Qtv have been cancelled including the very popular Pendo.
