Victoria Rubadiri Quits Citizen TV
According to sources, the reporter has already served her employer the Royal Media Services (RMS) with a notice of resignation and will be presenting Sunday Live at the station this weekend as her last show.
Journalist Victoria Rubadiri is set to leave Citizen TV after a six-year stay for CNN Africa’s correspondent position.
According to sources, the reporter has already served her employer the Royal Media Services (RMS) with a notice of resignation and will be presenting Sunday Live at the station this weekend as her last show.
Rubadiri joins a stream of big names who’ve been departing the once giant media house for other ventures. Hassan Mugambi left the station recently for a communications job in the Defence Ministry while reporter Chemutai Goin also left for a job in the Speaker’s office.
Other notable names that have left Citizen TV in the recent past include Hussein Mohammed, Francis Gachuri who took governmental offices and Willis Raburu who moved to TV47.
Rubadiri now takes a familiar path with Larry Madowo who incidentally was her former co-host at NTV. Larry is currently CNN’s international correspondent based in Washington DC.
Rubadiri’s career as a journalist
Rubadiri graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Broadcast Journalism from Temple University in the US. She worked in various roles in the US, including an assistant to a CEO and intern at WMGM-NBC 40 TV.
In Kenya, she joined Capital FM as a Business Journalist in 2011. She later joined the Nation Media Group (NMG) as an anchor and reporter, responsible for the primetime news show NTV Weekend Edition. She also hosted the talk show ‘Victoria’s Lounge’, which covered topics such as mental health, gender equality, and governance.
After leaving NTV in 2018, she joined RMS as a senior anchor and had a six-year stint at Citizen TV. She also had a brief stint at radio, but quit three months after joining. Rubadiri is the recipient of the 2020 BBC Komla Dumor Award, a journalism award launched by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in honor of Ghanaian journalist Komla Dumor.
She took a three-month leave from Citizen TV in September 2021 and returned in December that year.
