Next Media Services and its NBS TV subsidiary have struck Nation Media Group (NMG) and NTV Uganda, seizing Joel Khamadi to replace Samson Kasumba on Live at 9.

But in April, Kasumba announced he was ready to quit in order to pursue a PhD in Theology.
“After a deep conversation with my family here and in a diaspora I have decided to reignite my interests in a Theology PhD having secured the necessary funding from a reputable University. It, therefore, means that my work on air comes to a halt. It is a painful decision,” he said.
I shall always give my assignments my all whether they are the first ones or the last ones. Mine is to do what has to be done. It is what it is friends… pic.twitter.com/pBFnj5wHFG
