With five days of his contract to go, Capital Radio, Uganda’s leading English language radio station is looking for a replacement for Marcus Kwikiriza. Marcus notified the company two months ago of his intention to leave. He is moving to run his private business.
Last week, the humorous presenter shocked his fans with his announcement on Facebook.
“What started as a vocational job in S6 vac back in ‘98 (Sanyu Radio) has ended up giving me a very fulfilling career and opening more opportunities than I can care to admit. It’s been 18 years of active radio work taking to me to 3 countries and 7 different radio stations.
The time has come to hung up the M.I.C…..(at least the one for radio)
To everyone that I have worked with in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda, I thank you all for helping me improve my craft. Besides my home town Kla, I feel welcome in all 3 countries thanks to all of you.
To my latest family of @91.3 Capital FM, thanks for an amazing 5 years. All of you will forever be family. Especially Jackie Nake Lumbasi and Jimmy Okoth. Thanks for helping us rock the breakfast airwaves for 5 solid years. Keeping at number 1 isn’t easy and you have made it possible by hard work and consistency. Keep on keeping on guys….
UBL & NBS TV still remaining addresses I can be found at. Not to mention Blackstar Entertainment and Imara African Coffee.
Countdown is on to last radio show on Dec 15th.
One love y’all”
Marcus joined Capital Radio five years ago after Alan Kasujja left. He was previously in Kenya working with the company’s sister radio stations before making the leap to Uganda.
At Capital, he has been doing the Big Breakfast and also did Desert Island Discs when he had just joined.
