Here Are Some Of The Faces Behind The Voices You Hear On Radio Maisha As The Radio Station Turns 5 Years Old. I Bet You’ve Never Come Across No.3
As reported early, Radio Maisha, one of thoe most listened to radio stations in the country, is marking its 5th anniversary today. On a day like this, 5 years ago, Standard Group established the radio station to inject fresh blood in the already flooded media industry in Kenya.
And true to what it promised, Radio Maisha has grown to give other radio stations a run for their money thanks to its dedicated and well informed team.
And now we bring you some of the faces behind the voices that entertain you every day on Radio Maisha. You may have come across some of them but for those you have not met before and you have always wondered how they look like, your worry ends here definitely.
Anthony Ndiema
He is a morning bird that wakes up in the wake of dawn to bless your day with inspirational gospel music and bible teachings. For early risers, Anthony Ndiema is not a new name to your ears. For those who miss them on radio, you always see him on KTN on Sundays with his Tukuza Show.
Alex Mwakideu and Mzee Jalas Mwenyewe
Arguably the most famous voices on Radio Maisha, Alex Mwakideu and comedian-cum-actor Jalang’o command a massive listenership in their Maisha Asubuhi Show, a show that reaches far and wide and which many love to listen to. I am a die-hard listener of the show.
Ann Njogu (Toto La Mama)
Arguably the only female presenter who would host a show by her own and make it one of the finest. Anne Njogu loves to keep to keep a low profile on the social media an this makes it difficult for some of us to know how she looks. Today, you gotta see who Ann Njogu is. The most romantic voice on Radio Maisha? That I leave to you to decide.
Esther Mwende Macharia And Clemmo
Arguably the noisiest yet most entertaining presenter of the radio station, Mwende Macharia just made everyone forget former Iz-Vipi host Peter Adams with her new show Konnect. Together with Clemmo, the two are bringing real competition to veterans like Mzazi Willy Tuva of Radio Citizen and Milele FM’s Allan Wakoli and Nzula Makosi. Mwende Macharia’s mastery of the Swahili language and speed of articulation makes her the best host on radio.
Tina Korosso
The Tanzanian diva made headlines when she joined TPF a few years ago to try her luck thanks to her passion for music. Having a diploma in Music and Theology from Botswana, Tinah Korosso worked with Cloud FM in Tanzania before landing a job with Mombasa-based Pili Pili FM. It was here that she built a name for herself and her voice and ability to entertain prompted Radio Maisha to poach her. Since arriving at the station, she has become one of the integral members of the station. Together with Zureka they are the best female hosts on RM.
Emmanuel Mwashumbe
Call him Manu Emmanuela and you get a way into his heart. The Rhumba enthusiast entertained many when he worked for KBC and perhaps this explains why RM poached him to get his services. His deep voice draws one even closer to radio.
Hassan Mwana Wa Ali
Poaching someone from Radio Citizen is no mean feat you know. But RM managed to do this because they knew they were going for one of the finest voices on radio in Kenya today. Hassan is known for his deep knowledge of Swahili language and this gives him an edge over others. He is a natural entertainer and a football enthusiast.
