Mediamax-owned K24 TV has refuted social media claims of its shutdown, confirming it remains operational. This follows widespread online posts on Friday, August 15, alleging the station ceased operations after 17 years, leaving many jobless.

• K24 TV flagged the shutdown claims as fake, urging verification through its official social media and website.
• The clarification comes amidst a looming mass layoff by parent company Mediamax Limited, which also owns Milele FM and People Daily.
• Mediamax CEO Ken Ngaruiya issued a 30-day redundancy notice, citing business restructuring due to changing media landscape, digital transformation, reduced volumes, and "punitive regulations" from the Government of Kenya.
