Renowned radio personality and sports journalist Kaka Zema has officially moved from Radio Citizen to Radio 47, marking another major shift in Kenya’s fast-changing media landscape.

Kaka Zema is widely respected in the radio industry, especially among sports fans who have followed his work for years.

The radio host built his name and loyal audience during his long stint at Radio Citizen, where his deep knowledge of sports, engaging style, and calm delivery made him a household name.

For many listeners, his voice became closely linked with quality sports analysis and commentary.

Zema’s move to Radio 47 did not come as a surprise to many Kenyans as his prowess has been tried and tested.

 

 

Over the past few days, Radio 47 has been teasing the arrival of the presenter through creative and playful posts on their social media pages.

The station tried to keep his identity a secret, using hints and indirect clues to build excitement among fans.

However, despite Radio 47’s efforts to conceal who they had poached, Kenyans were quick to join the dots.

Many listeners immediately recognised Kaka Zema from the hints shared online and confidently named him in the comment sections.

It became clear that hiding a familiar media figure like Kaka Zema was always going to be a tough mountain to climb.

Even though Radio 47 is yet to officially announce his name, fans have already welcomed him warmly.

 

 

A teasing post by the station attracted many lovely and supportive comments from listeners who expressed excitement and praised the station for securing such a respected sports journalist.

Others congratulated Kaka Zema and said they were ready to follow him to his new radio home.

Kaka Zema’s move is also part of a bigger trend that has been shaping the media industry in the recent past.

Over the past two years or so, Radio 47 has caused massive ripples by aggressively poaching top talent from rival stations.

The station has consistently brought on board experienced presenters, journalists, and producers, strengthening its lineup and growing its influence.

The strategy has not gone unnoticed.

Some rival stations have struggled to retain their best talents, with critics saying the talent drain has left them weaker and, in some cases, unprofitable.

Radio 47, on the other hand, continues to position itself as a strong and attractive home for seasoned media professionals.

As Kaka Zema begins this new chapter at Radio 47, many listeners will be watching closely to see how he settles in and what he brings to the station’s sports programming.
