UPDATE Wednesday, July 20: Former KTN News Anchor Brenda Kerubo has revealed her next career direction.
In a statement, she noted that she was enrolled for a master's programmed Aarhus University, Denmark and City, University of London.
"Allow Me to reintroduce myself. My name is Brenda Kerubo and l am a Scholar at the European Union's prestigious Erasmus Mundus joint Master's: Journalism, Media and Globalisation. I will undertake the program in Aarhus University, Denmark and City, University of London," she noted.
Celebrated KTN News anchor, Brenda Kerubo, is exiting the Mombasa Road-based media house.
In a statement she shared on her social media pages on Wednesday, July 13, Kerubo noted that she was leaving the media house after serving for three years and seven months.
She further noted that her Wednesday 9:00am broadcast was her last but remained mum over her next move. She, however, hinted that she had landed a new opportunity.
"3 years and 7 months. How time flies. Today I will anchor my last bulletin at 9:30am on KTN News, a place I consider home because of the people. A place where my career rose to a level I would never have imagined. I knew from a young age television is for me but to achieve everything that I have in the last 10 years of broadcast journalism.
"Today I sign off and say goodbye. Here is to new opportunities that I will share really soon. Thank you for watching and supporting my stories and programs, forever grateful. May God bless you all," she explained.
A manager, who worked closely with the TV star, confirmed that Kerubo had been serving notice at the station.
Kerubo has had stints at Mediamax Network Limited where she worked as a business reporter as well as CCTV Africa where she was a business writer.
Her departure comes barely two days after a reporter from the station, Ibrahim Karanja, left the media house for a position at NTV.
Karanja was the channel's correspondent based in Nakuru where the Moi family-owned media house has a bureau. He is renowned for his ability to handle different assignments including politics and crime, with his signature authoritative voice.
"Yes, this is his final week that he will be working at KTN," the source told Kenyans.co.ke.
Karanja had over three years of experience at the station, having joined the Standard Group in September 2018 as a reporter, based in Nyeri before being moved to Nakuru.
KTN News has also been hit by a mini-reshuffle that saw its reporter Kevin Ogutu exit while other senior reporters were re-assigned reporting beats.
