Word from Kenyatta Avenue is that Grace Msalame is no longer at KTN…so she’s no longer hosting Art Scene!
Btw I love the way she looks now – veeery hot
26 Mar
Word is…Ian Dialo might be replaced by a young lady by the name Tina in a couple of days. Nope, they’re not firing him. Just replacing him
I can’t wait, that means the Classic 105 quiet storm is gonna get better – cause the last time I listened to Ian, he called having sex ‘Eating the biscuit’

Hahaha just seen this on Michaels site – had to share
Here’s Ke$ha and John Travolta

The Star is FREE today!!! And we all know it’s only good use would be to wrap meat (insert sexual joke here) and be used to wrap shit…literally!!
PQ…my mentor I’ll always have bile for the Star, cause at the Launch Breakfast for the Star, you told us it was going to be a different paper, with less focus on politics and a heavy focus on human interest stories. Well the star is more like a glossy weekly citizen (sometimes)
In other news, flip to the gossip pages. Yaani Kerongo is shamelessly fronting all her workmates!
Plus Insyder VOTED her the best gossip blogger in Kenya…I feel insulted!

You asked for it (it was already in the works) so I asked the AD GURU to send in the ad reviews. This will be a weekly feature
Colgate HERBAL
I couldnt find the one aired in Kenya – but here’s one that’s along the same lines
What in makmende’s name was Colgate thinking about that ad. Ok so, some campo guys have gone hiking in a non-existent greenery waterfall-at least if they shoot it at Thompson falls it would have been believable. Then there appears a beaver. Kwanza, for the sake of my grandma’s lost memory there are no beavers in this part of the world. They are habitats of North America and some parts of Europe with claims of them been extinct there-google search it Danke!
Secondly that beaver speaks in English that is clearly not Kenyalish. At least if they chose another rodent, mammal or whatever that devours wood; even a goat would do and put a serious kuyu, Luyha or even jang’ accent it would have made it authentically Kenyan. The folly of these multinationals is to copy paste their ads in the west and spoon feed us. Dear misinformed Westerners we aint that stupid as you are made to believe! KAMON! Localise the dang ads… NKT and another NKKKTTT!
Sona Moja – Some type of pain killer
Moving on swiftly… one evening I was idly surfing when I came across a channel I thought was extinct-KBC. And there was an ad-Sona moja-which made me stay put. For one I thought the makers of headache had fired their ad agency and hired some slackers masquerading as ad people. Kwanza, the quality of that ad is very poooor with the picture quality been grainy-even my grandpa’s camera (those one where you had to place a black cloth over them) would have made clearer pictures. Secondly these people made a shoddy work by imitating headache.
Listen, Sona holdings the makers of Sona moja, if you gona shamelessly copy an ad concept can you please outdo the original makers. This ad just makes you such clowns, and if your idea was to be the butt of fat laughing stock, you win. Thirdly, them actors… waaaa! Even a brain dead octogenarian vegetable could have put a better act than these clowns! Mwala and that conductor did a very bad comical act! And for Pete’s sake fire that ad agency and get real ad people to do your ads. Shindwe! Am done ranting today!
Words – Ad Guru

Vincent Ateya really owes SK and Afune a whole lot!! They believed in him and made a gamble with him…and now he’s moved to Milele Fm’s Breakfast. He was leading the BIGGEST radio show on the land!!!
The move has made akina SK weaks in the knees and his wife a bit weak on her face (Botox must be flowing hehe) cause Radio Citizen grosses a lot of mbecha fari fari for them, and Vincent was part of that cash cow.
But Vincent could have shown a little respect and give a LONGER notice…3 days ni madharau!

EAM – gosh! It kinda sad, imagine all the stylists who made a name themselves cause of EAM, the photographers, the make-up artists! The messengers…it’s a fucking MESS…people don’t just leave like that! What happened to second chances! Now we’re left with African woman…which I’m pretty sure photocopies some of it’s pages! NKT!
Some young girls wanted to skin me a few weeks back – when I said James Smart had a face for radio…well jana he was co-anchoring with Peninah – Learning English – Karibe, and my pals who are very good at rating faces gave him a FF! Fucked Face hehe
Are the people calling on Kiss 100′s Rush Hour for REAL?? Wooow! I thought I had issues but wapi! Sijui one guy’s aunt wants a piece of him eeeek…some random mboch talking about how she’s giving her goods to the man of the house and his SON!
NTV kwani there was a buy one get one free offer on those silly Filipino soaps! Ama it’s just wanking material for Victor?? Have you noticed there are some actors who are in all of them!!
Belinda Obura, darling, babes LOSE THE FUCKING GLASSES!!!
KISS tv!! Where to start…please STOP repeating stuff aki please…and DNG errr NO COMMENT…and Classic TV needs to get a life, we know you want to Tafrija all the time, but can you at least vet video quality!
First of all, not everyone is easy on the eyes!! So a few days back I was kinda shocked to hear a certain lady who is DEFINITELY not easy on the eyes complaining about her man! Woman, you’re lucky that fool looks past your obvious facial weakness!

Koinange 24 is going around promising people huge sums of money if they quit their current jobs and join them. And where is their main target? ROYAL MEDIA!
They’ve approached most of the technical peeps, cameramen, sound peeps and even the OB operators! This is kinda funny considering K24 still transmits VIA KBC…nunueni your own stuffs first before spending on man power!
As you know there have been rumours of a HUGE ass re-launch ever since a certain rich man bought into the company. But MPAKA leo, apart from the poaching, nothing much is happening at K24…
22 Mar
Word from Langata road is that EAM is shutting DOWN with immediate effect!!!
So no MORE True Love, Move and even Drum!
It’s said the company was making huge losses.
This is sad – companies DON’T just shut down like this, I’m in shock!! The only quality reads 
I’ll give more details as I get them…

This is what Radio Africa’s GM Martin Khafafa was asking Maina Wa Kageni all weekend at the coast.
Maina was re-negotiating his already HUMONGOUS pay slip – with the GM, and sources who are close to the two say, by Sunday evening, no new deal had been struck

Before I go on with this post…I must say WW is a very nice guy (He might not know I own this shitty space on the web) but we’ve talked mara kadhaa
Ww na marafiki
Now…I was with some Royal media peeps and I kinda said WW ni mambo yote…one of them toa-d that MSCHEEEEW sound (why can’t I do that
But frankly I think WW has managed to assemble a brilliant team that is making us go gaga over Citizen and MOST of their other outfits. Wachira deserves the praise, remember how he quickly dusted off KBC kiasi when he was there?
So is Wachira a media biz genius?

A few days under, we marked SEVEN months since I started blogging. Seven months! It’s been a ride and a half, blogging has been fun, so far, we’ve had 2674 approved comments. Most of them have been hilarious, some of them have been downright stupid! And well some of them have taught me a few lessons.
I started Media Madness as a way to kill time, and as time went by more of you kept reading. From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you who read Media Madness, plus those who leave comments, akina Gossip Girl, Lentils, Unseen, Mike, Godfrey IMHO, radio insyder, Jaymo, JJ, truth and SOOOO many others. ASANTE
From the 1st of April, Media Madness moves to http://www.frankierants.com/, it’s taken a while to set-up and we still need your help to make it better.
If you have any design ideas email the web guy at info@frankierants.com
If you’d like to do business with the new site email commerce@frankierants.com
I’ll still be on Kamuiru@gmail.com ( I can’t handle serious stuff)
Have a great weekend y’all

NTV and KTN are in a dick measuring compe with the fake money expose stuff…BUUUUT!! Most people kinda agree the KTN one was a bit errr.. while the NTV one looks thorough…but hey! Like I was told jana, I’m an idiot and my opinions don’t mean shit (they were right). So in your honest opinion, what do you make of the two investigative pieces
post number 500!!!

Part of Quarcoo’s new idea is re-formatting Radio Jambo into a NEWS stations. So it’s gonna be 80% news 20% sports!!
Titties nagwalla will be the new PC…Radull heads back to being head of news – cause we all know she held down that job proper!!
My only worry is if Uji Uji and akina Ghost can hack serious issues
17 Mar
Patrick Quarcoo must have woken up and tripped on his mink rug (He’s classy like that) cause on Monday, he was giving bitches the ‘eye’ and pink slips!
Quarcoo sent home the head of news Rosemary Were, a mama who was brought from the Government spokeman’s office (of all places) by Michael Khafalfa and Paul Ilado. People had been complaining about her shadiness and the fact that radio news on Kiss and Classic was soo bland.
She was not the only one who got kicked out! Their TV sales Exec was told to kanyanga waiyaki way

Reporters in Kenya are becoming lazier by the day!! No research on stories ata kidogo, the Sunday Standard (The prefered gazeti by butchers, it’s not like it has anything worth keep it for) had a story about Nakumatt – they claimed Nakumatt was the largest chain in Sub- Saharan Africa…Standard, ever heard of Shoprite?????
NTV needs to stop being a shit hole and stop playing with the bleep thingi – Ever tried watching the very outdated season of Two and a Half men showing on NTV? They bleep it soo much – you want to pluck your pubes out!!
Can MP Johnston Muthama get a life and stop showing up at the Coro Fm studios. His kikuyu is PATHETIC!!!! And that show – I think it airs on Wednesday past 10 pm, needs a little intervention from the CCK…it sometimes takes a turn into ‘Tribal Avenue’
Speaking of MP’s…I heard Danson Mungatana barf that, the MP’s need a retreat. Danny, my boy just sema your news anchor mama has promised to only dish her goods in Naivasha! Wacha story mingi
I’ve talked about this before, jana on Kimathi street I was walking with my skinny jeans wearing pal and THEN!!! A gay dude walking like the g-forces are tugging on his hips!! Dude was trying to pull a ‘Miss Jay’ catwalk! And what’s worse is he was failing and is fucking UGLY!
Now one I was asked to write about, BUSTED weaves!!! Girls, please spare us the horror!!!! I come from a family with amazing hair, so weaves are foreign in my household. It makes me sad that a mama can have BLUE hair! Fucking blue!! NKT
Afro CINEMA – Citizen

Julie Gichuru is back!!!! Judging from the feedback jana – Kenya was watching – she’s looked soo good wowhat!! And I had missed her presentation style, she’s like Diane Sowyer – with the way she add emotions to the stories.
Moving on…Citizen debut their new studio walalala – too glossy – and very big – clearly Macharia has won the dick measuring compe! Eih KTN and NTV needs to dump their virtual studios and go the Citizen way
And like someone on Twitter said ‘Finger of Hellon’ – don’t you dare come close to Julie.
