Celebrated media personality Willis Raburu has officially parted ways with Cape Media which owns TV and Radio 47.
Raburu is leaving Cape Media after 9 months of joining the media house. His exit comes months after he was appointed as Director of Digital Services and Innovation.
"As I bid farewell to the TV47 family, I am filled with a sense of pride and gratitude for the remarkable growth we’ve achieved together over the past few months," part of his farewell message reads.
Just the other day, Willis announced that that his show 'Wabebe Experience' was taking a break from Air. He used to host the show alongside Mc Gogo and Claudia Naisabwa.
"We would like to announce that Wabebe Experience will be taking a SEASON BREAK. We sincerely thank our viewers for their continued support and enthusiasm.
Rest assured, we are working diligently behind the scenes to come back BIGGER AND BETTER than ever. Stay tuned for updates on our return! We love you and appreciate you so much."
Raburu joined TV47 in 2023, in a move that excited his fans. On Aug 22, he informed fans that he was about to herald a new thing.
It later emerged that he would be hosting a new show dubbed the Wabebe XP (experience) on TV47 every Friday at 10 pm.
He was to co-host with Mc Gogo. Claudia Naisabwa then joined them in February 2024 as the third host.
Raburu Quits Citizen TV
Raburu left Citizen TV in June 2023 after a 13-years having joined in 2010.
He grew his career from an intern to one of the most celebrated TV hosts in the country. He transitioned from an intern to a News reporter, and later a host of 10 over 10 show.
In October the Media personality resigned as chairman of the Nairobi festival committee.
Raburu cited the need for systemic change as one of the reasons he decided to quit.
He explained that the decision to step down was rooted in his belief in the pressing need for systemic change to improve service delivery and leadership within the county.
"I have officially informed the leadership of the county that I will no longer be serving in my current capacity as chair of the Nairobi Festival committee," he said.
