Veteran broadcast journalist Zubeidah Kananu Koome has left KTN after 18 years with the station.
In a farewell statement on Thursday, September 25, 2025, Zubeidah announced that she was moving on to a new chapter in her career, marking the end of nearly two decades at Standard Media Group.
“After 18 incredible years at Standard Group PLC, a chapter that has shaped my journey as a journalist, news anchor and editor, I am stepping into a new season. These years have been filled with lessons, growth, challenges and friendships I will forever treasure. I am deeply grateful to colleagues, mentors and friends who have worked this path with me,” she said.
During her time at KTN, Zubeidah became one of the station’s most recognizable faces, anchoring prime-time bulletins and covering major political, social, and cultural events across the country. She also rose to the position of editor, cementing her influence in Kenya’s media landscape.
While she has not disclosed her next move, Zubeidah confirmed that she will continue serving as the president of the Kenya Editors Guild (KEG), a role she has held since 2023.
Her exit marks the close of a defining era for KTN, where she built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and excellence in broadcast journalism.
