Media personality and Sports guru Carol Radull has announced her departure from Radio Africa after a 21-year stint.
Taking to social media in a long post, Radull made the announcement while reflecting on her past years at the media house.
She detailed her reason for quitting despite her long tenure is to venture deep into the sports agenda.
"Saturday, July 31, marks the end of a 21-year relationship. I joined the Radio Africa Group on the 8th of Aug 2000 as a news reporter and was soon promoted to be the head of News at Kiss 100.
"While I respect all the opportunities I got at Radio Africa; most of them management opportunities; I never believed I was designed to push papers and write reports," she stated
She also pointed many achievements during her tenure with the station from launching departments such as RAL Digital department to hiring personnel who would rise up the ranks in the media industry.
Among these include Radio Jambo, a station that has stood the test of times and is highly regarded as a fan favourite among many listeners.
"In 2008 I launched Radio Jambo and was the station's first Programme Controller. I pride myself in hiring Gidi Gidi (who had no belief in himself as a presenter and accused me of removing him from his PLUSH job at UNEP as an IT executive "for this"! Ghost Mulee, who also questioned me during his job interview whether he could really be a radio presenter," she pointed out.
Among other talents, she scouted and hired include Bramwell Mwololo, Fred Arocho, NTV's Idah Waringa as well as Citizen TV's Mukami Wambora.
While appreciating her fans for the immense support over the years, she added that she would be back on the airwaves in two weeks' time.
"I haven't been on radio for a year and a half for reasons I choose not to share but in two weeks' time I will be back on your airwaves; with the "Great Roy" Karuhize and Kieni Githinji; to continue to push the sports agenda.
"To my fam; I want to say Thank you. It's been an amazing ride," she detailed.
Radull has risen through the ranks of the media industry establishing herself as a sports fanatic.
Before joining Radio Africa, she was the head East African Producer for the BBC World Service between July 1997 – April 1999.
