.The biggest morning show was hosted by Fareed Khimani and Seanice Kacungira. From 2006-2009, these two enjoyed a large share of the market.
In November 2010, Eve D'Souza and her breakfast show co-host Gaetano Kagwa resigned from the station. The two were brought in to help revive the station's plunging ratings in the prime time show after the exit of Fareed and Seanice. Gaetano failed to gel with the Kenyan audience. As for Eve, she felt it was time to spread her wings after being with the station for 10 years
