Several other presenters have also been working from home. The likes of Mike
Mondo of Classic FM, and Jacob Ghost Mulee of Radio Jambo among others. It
seems this will be the new normal in many stations as Corona cases
continue to rise and crumble our media industry.
This
comes days after Citizen TV presenters Stephen Letoo and JKL host Jeff
Koinange tested positive to the corona virus. Letoo has been at the forefront
in covering the Covid-19 pandemic news before he contracted the virus. Speaking to us on Friday, Letoo said that he is fine despite testing positive for
coronavirus. Many other presenters have thus been tested and self-quarantined
to curb the spread of the virus.
"We
will be working from home to allow the office to be cleaned,” Jalang’o announced
at the beginning of the show.
The
virus has not only rattled the media industry in terms of reduced revenue but
also affected journalists differently through exposure to the deadly virus.
Yesterday
while many viewers thought Jeff Koinange would skip his JKLive show on
Wednesday night, they were surprised when he joined Victoria Rubadiri from
home. It was during the show that he expressed his surprise at how Rubadiri had
not tested positive despite the two having interacted on Sunday July 19 during
the news bulletin.
It
now seems that this will be a new normal as these days you don’t need a complex
set up like what is found in a studio. With a good quality microphone, a mixer,
computer and lighting you can broadcast content from anywhere at any time.

Grace Kuria was among the first news anchors to host news from home.
""This
working from home thing is something I never thought could happen, but it is
possible and we are doing it just fine," she concluded.
