On Friday, July 10, 2020, K24 TV debuted a new show called 'The Loop' at 9 pm, replacing 'Weekend With Betty' which ended its run 40 days after Betty Kyallo resigned.

The first part will feature an in-depth analysis of issues affecting Kenyans, where Mike and Valentine will also interview experts. Valentine described the show as 'a bold and fresh look at our lives in Kenya today', adding that for her it was a dream come true.
Mike hinted that 'we are going to take a bold and fresh look into our lives here in Kenya'. The show will also have a section called 'Unplugged', which will delve into issues affecting creative arts and entertainment.
Jason Runo, who had taken a 16-year break from regular TV, will host the 'Unplugged' segment. He stated, 'After a 16-year hiatus from a regular TV gig. I'm excited to be back! So honoured to work with Valentine and Mike.'
