Anne Kiguta - KTN TV's totally awesome anchor

KTN's News Anchor - Anne Kiguta

There is no single adjective to describe her she is vivacious, she is beautiful, she is eloquent ... she is KTN's Anne Kiguta. The anchor has been creating a buzz since she joined the station last year in May ...or was it June - I know the world cup was showing.

Of course the station being KTN ... there will be comparisons with Janet Mbugua who is now with ETV , Esther Arungah (now Timberlake), Lilian (Mrs Kanene) or the no nonsense - Beatrice Marshall, but Anne Kiguta right now could hold her own in a popularity poll with any other presenter across Kenya's TV networks. Her public figure page on facebook had 5,000 friends last time it was updated  five months ago - probably many are men smitten by her lovely eyes or other genuine fans who appreciate her style of presenting ... easy, straight up plus she has a most genuine laughter.


When she joined the station in May it was obvious she wasn't new to the business - her confidence was "telling". Anne has spent 7 years on radio 3 years with Hope FM and four with Capital FM ... she is multi skilled and an all rounder - trained in communications at Daystar University ...she has done everything from market research for radio stations, program planning, show launching, presenting and she has quite a CV - she is an outstanding case of beauty and brains


Anyway what got me to write this piece was KTNs new look weekend prime and KTN Leo "weekend" segment. The real life stories, less politics, crazy stories are a breath of fresh air on Kenyan TV news and  something to look forward to on the weekend. Anne was a perfect fit to the new look programming and kept me glued to the TV throughout the weekend prime - as I am sure she did other viewers, definitely looking forward to another weekend prime - Anne is totally the best presenter right now
