NBS TV Fires Presenters Sheilah Gashumba, Sheila Salta
NBS TV has bid farewell to their talented presenters Sheila Gashumba and Sheila Salta as they exit from the Naguru-based media house.
Gashumba who joined NBS TV as After 5 show co-host in November 2021 and Salta who joined them from Urban TV for the NBS KatchUp show on January 30, 2020, were shown the exit door after a decision made by Next Media’s top bosses in a closed-door meeting on Monday.
“Thank you, Sheilah Gashumba, for being a vital part of our #NBSAfter5 team. Your insights have been incredible, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavours! Thank you for all your fantastic insights on After 5. Your contributions have been invaluable and having you on our team has been an absolute pleasure. Best of luck in your future endeavours,” Next Media said.
“A round of applause goes to Sheila Salta, a valuable member of our #NBSKatchUp team moving on to other opportunities. Our heartfelt appreciation for your incredible work with us. Thank you. Shelia Salta we appreciate everything brought to ‘KatchUp’ you have been nothing short of incredible and we are so grateful for all your hard work. May you find success and fulfilment in that you do,” Next Media added.
According to sources, the decision to fire the two came after they signed contracts with other companies before their contract with Next Media expired.
”Sheila Carol Gashumba and Sheila Salta went and signed a new contract with a new radio station in town called NRG Radio and they even kept being absent from their shows on NBS. This prompted their dismissal” the source confirmed.
Since the Kenyan broadcasting powerhouse, NRG started a radio station in Uganda, NRG Radio 106.5 FM, it has been hunting top celebrities to give it mileage NRG radio is in direct competition with Next Media Services’ Nxt Radio and both target the same audience.
