The President’s owned Mediamax is selling its former studios after moving to a new premises. Their old studios which housed K24, Kameme FM, Milele FM and Meru FM were located at Longonot Place along Kijabe Street.

Reportedly, they bought the building for Sh300 million.
It’s not clear how much Mediamax is asking for its old studios, which occupied three floors, but they probably need the money now as the media landscape continues to change.
