Nancy Onyancha has joined Switch TV's team just two days after being among 100 employees laid off by K24 TV, which was owned by Media Max. The news anchor shared the update via social media, thanking God for opening a new opportunity.
K24 TV's workforce reductions occurred during the economic challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, which significantly impacted media operations. The network had previously suspended operations amid financial pressures.
Onyancha's new role at Switch TV comes as she and husband Joab Mwaura reportedly plan to establish a media venture called 'Sauti Tajika' following their K24 departure. The couple has been exploring additional broadcasting projects, according to sources.
"I'm grateful for this new chapter," Onyancha said in a social media post. "Please send any tips or information to [email protected] or WhatsApp: 0732482690."
The development highlights ongoing shifts in Kenya's television industry as networks adapt to changing market conditions. Onyancha's career trajectory underscores the challenges faced by media professionals during the pandemic era.
