Top Kenyan TV Anchors Who Have Joined China-Owned Station 

The Kenyan media industry has seen a lot of developments with changing of structures, the entrance of new media houses as well as TV anchors and reporters moving from one station to another in search of greener pastures.

One such station that made an entry into the Kenyan market is China Global Television Network (CGTN) which has its Africa division (CGTN Africa) based in Nairobi Kenya – formerly known as CCTV.

Here are some of the Kenyan anchors who have gone on to join CGTN:
