More About Live KTN Kenya and Online TV
KTN is a commercial television station headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. The broadcaster which was founded by Jared Kangwana began transmission on the UHF channel as a pilot project for a 24-hour subscriber TV service in Nairobi and its environs. The KTN Kenya is one of the two channels operated by the TV station. The other channel is KTN News.
KTN Kenya started broadcasting shortly after its establishment and soon became famous for providing undiluted real and raw journalism in the 1990s. Despite a few challenges the TV station faced down the road which included losing some of the KTN staff and political interference in its news reporting by the forces that be, it has developed and branded itself into a more sophisticated and aggressive broadcaster with authoritative and independent newscasting. It has also proven adept at competing internationally against other media corporations.
The TV station was closely watched and monitored by governments in Africa and beyond to see how it would impact the society. Till now, many of the new radio and TV stations across East and Central Africa rely on KTN for news around the region. Some of the KTN former staff are even recruited by these stations to help in running their operations.
There is no doubt about the role KTN has played in African news broadcasting; being the first free privately owned TV-station in Africa, the station left a lot to be learned from by other African television and media groups. At a time when it was standard procedure for African TV stations not to start news broadcast without first talking about all the events that involve the President and Head of State, KTN was breaking this jinx which other stations in the continent saw as an audacious act of journalism and began to change the nature of their reporting to make it less patronising.

During the early periods of Kenya Television Network, the station offered a combination of relayed re-transmission of Cable News Network (CNN), MTV, European, American and Australian programming and filled in the remaining slots with programs developed in other African states. At the same time, KTN also filed stories for use by affiliated foreign stations, making the station’s reporters double as foreign correspondents and news sources for CNN World Report, BBC, and VOA.
