Citizen TV anchor Lilian Muli recently extended a warm welcome to a former colleague from Kenya Television Network (KTN) who has made a career move to Citizen TV.
Sharing a photo of the moment, Muli described the transfer as a normal and healthy step in journalism — highlighting the constant movement within Kenya’s competitive media industry.
KTN as a Training Ground
KTN has long been regarded as a newsroom that shapes resilient and versatile reporters. Known for its fast-paced environment and emphasis on strong storytelling, it has produced many journalists who later transition to bigger platforms.
Those who leave often carry with them valuable experience in investigative work, live reporting, and editorial discipline.
Citizen TV’s Broader Platform
Moving to Citizen TV presents opportunities for journalists to reach a wider audience. As one of Kenya’s most-watched stations, it offers expanded visibility and professional growth.
Rather than framing the move as competition between rival stations, Muli’s message focused on camaraderie and professional respect. She acknowledged the journalist’s roots at KTN while celebrating the next step in their journey.
A Community Beyond Competition
The shared photo captured a relaxed and friendly atmosphere — underscoring that behind the scenes, Kenya’s media houses are connected by professional relationships and shared experiences.
In today’s fast-evolving media landscape, such career moves are common. Journalists frequently transition between networks as they seek growth, better storytelling opportunities, and broader platforms.
Muli’s gesture was more than a simple welcome — it reflected an understanding that each move builds experience, strengthens skills, and ultimately benefits audiences who rely on credible reporting.
