Mediamax Network Limited, owner of K24 TV, People Daily, Milele FM, and Kameme FM, has announced significant layoffs, its sixth round in four years. The company is undergoing a major restructuring due to economic pressures and declining revenues, with reports indicating 90% of K24's newsroom staff have been let go.

• Mediamax Network Limited will conduct redundancies between July 15 and August 15, 2025.
• The cuts affect multiple departments, including top English and Swahili anchors, producers, and the entire sports desk.
• Reasons cited include a tough macroeconomic climate, digital disruption, declining business volumes, and reduced advertising revenues due to state single-sourcing for media buys and tighter restrictions on betting and gambling ads.
