TV47, currently the fastest growing TV station in Kenya, has snapped up a former NTV presenter as it strengthens its team with top talent. Sharon Barang’a, who is an award-winning journalist, landed the new job just few months after being sacked from NTV.

Ms Barang’a disclosed that she has joined TV47, which is going after the big players’ market share in audience and advertising. At TV47, Barang’a has been tasked to head the Education desk, and as a senior reporter.

In 2016, Ms Barang’a was among the winners of ICFJ’s Early Childhood Development Reporting Contest.

“…Well, God heard your prayers. I am now part of the fastest growing TV station in the country, TV47 Kenya. I join the team as the head of Education desk/Snr. reporter. I intend to walk this journey with you and so I welcome all kinds of feedback especially on Education stories/special features on education,” Ms Barang’a said on Social Media.

“Those who have been saying we miss your stories, or we miss your voice or you miss this face you now know where to find me. Honestly, I had also missed you very much. God bless you all. Love you all.”

The TV girl went on to reveal that, she reported to her new work place on her Birthday, thanking her friends and fans for their support.

“It is indeed a good Friday. A new chapter begins today.

I am celebrating my birthday & it is my first day at my new work place. Friends, I can never forget your overwhelming love and messages of hope & encouragement you sent when everything looked dark.

In July, Barang’a disclosed that she was going through a hard time after being sacked barely two weeks after losing her dad.
