KAMPALA– Serena-based Spark TV Uganda unveiled a new team to take charge of its flagship show Live Wire.

The team led by Producer Isaac Kugonza will have Gabie Ntaate and Precious Remmie as Presenters to replace Zahara Toto and Anatalia Ozzy who were recently poached by Next Media group’s Sanyuka Television.

“Welcome to the winning team Zahara Totto and Anna Talia Oze,” reads the tweet on NBS TV timeline.

Sources close to the Serena based TV revealed to this website that former the Live Wire presenters Zahara Toto and Anatalia Ozzy demanded a salary increment which was not approved by top management.

“They wanted more money since the show was increasingly becoming popular. Unfortunately, top management could not meet their demands,” revealed the source.

In a similar trend, NTV also confirmed that the station news chief and seasoned news anchor Maurice Mugisha left the Serena based station.

NTV announced on Twitter that they have now appointed Ms Josephine Karungi as acting Head of News to fill the void left by Mr Mugisha.

“She [Josephine Karungi] replaces Mr. Maurice Mugisha,” NTV posted on social media adding she will be reporting to the General Manager Editorial, Mr Daniel Kalinaki.
