Recent reports have surfaced indicating that several media channels operated by New Vision are on the verge of shutting down. Among those affected are Urban Television, TV West, X FM, and numerous radio stations in rural areas facing closure.
It’s alleged that these TV channels and radio stations are struggling financially, failing to generate sufficient revenue. Consequently, the management of New Vision has made the decision to cease operations for these outlets and focus on more profitable ventures.
Employees have been informed about the impending closures. Robin Kisti, a familiar face on Urban Television, confirmed the news as she bid farewell to her fans and followers. She took to her Snapchat to express her sentiments, informing her audience that Urban TV is closing down, and none of the staff will be on the air anymore. She expressed gratitude for the love and support she received from her viewers.
The closure of these media channels marks the end of an era for both the company and its audience. It reflects the challenging landscape faced by traditional media outlets in an increasingly digital world.
This decision by New Vision management underscores the harsh reality of the media industry, where profitability often dictates survival. While it’s a sad development for those directly affected, it’s also a reminder of the need for adaptation and innovation to thrive in the ever-changing media landscape.
