Sam Karenzi Addresses Ownership Claims as SK FM Prepares for Launch

Renowned Rwandan sports journalist Sam Karenzi has responded to rumors suggesting that his soon-to-be-launched radio station, SK FM, is not actually his. Speculations have been circulating that he is merely managing the station on behalf of an influential individual. However, Karenzi has firmly dismissed these claims, reaffirming that the station is indeed his own project.

With just days left before SK FM officially begins broadcasting on 93.9 FM and 92.6 FM, Karenzi remains focused on finalizing the preparations. He acknowledged that while the station is close to completion, there are still a few technicalities to address before its grand opening.

Karenzi Responds to Ownership Allegations

In an exclusive interview with IGIHE, Karenzi addressed the skepticism surrounding the ownership of SK FM. He stated, “I don’t need to clear these rumors. If anyone believes otherwise, they can keep their opinion. It doesn’t bother me because I know the sacrifices I’ve made and the sleepless nights I’ve endured.”

Karenzi emphasized that those making these claims are likely individuals with their own resources, and he appreciates that they recognize his potential. “I take it as a compliment that they think such influential people trust me to handle such a project. That alone is a blessing,” he added.

Furthermore, he reassured his supporters, saying, “Rwandans who believe in me should trust that I am speaking the truth. SK FM belongs to me and my business partners.”

A Lifelong Dream Coming True

Karenzi revealed that launching his own media house has been a long-standing dream since he first entered the journalism industry. “I have always dreamed of owning my own media outlet. Seeing this vision come to life is incredibly fulfilling,” he said.

Despite the challenges he has faced, Karenzi remains optimistic about the opportunities available in Rwanda for young entrepreneurs. “It hasn’t been easy; it required significant effort and investment. However, Rwanda provides many opportunities. The system is structured in a way that allows people with ideas to thrive. Imagine having a solid business plan and being able to get a loan from the bank. That alone is a huge advantage,” he explained.

He also took the opportunity to encourage the youth to take initiative and utilize the resources available to them. “The biggest challenge is mindset. If young people believe in themselves and take action, there are structures in place to support them,” he added.

A Call for Support from Fans

Karenzi expressed his deep appreciation for his loyal followers who have supported him throughout his career. “I genuinely love my fans. I cannot thank them enough. True fans are those who remember and support you even when you are not around,” he said.

He acknowledged the pressure from his supporters, which motivated him to work even harder to bring SK FM to life. “The expectations people had for me pushed me to give my best. Together with my team, we have created something extraordinary, and I am confident they will love it,” he stated.

Karenzi urged his audience to stand by him as he embarks on this new chapter, saying, “I ask my fans to continue supporting me. I have no doubt that SK FM will become Rwanda’s number one radio station.”

A Powerhouse Team Joins SK FM

SK FM is set to feature an impressive lineup of experienced journalists, including Uwera Jean Maurice from RBA, Kazungu Claver from Fine FM, Niyibizi Aime, Uwamwezi Mugire Bianca, Dushime Nepo ‘Mubicu’ from Radio 1, Allan Ruberwa from Flash FM, and Keza Cedric from Radio 10, among others. This team of seasoned professionals is expected to bring top-quality content and a fresh perspective to Rwanda’s radio landscape.

A New Era in Rwandan Broadcasting

With SK FM, Sam Karenzi is ready to redefine the media industry in Rwanda. His resilience, hard work, and determination have paved the way for this exciting new venture. As the countdown to the station’s launch continues, anticipation is high among listeners eager to experience what SK FM has to offer.

Karenzi’s journey from a young journalist to a media owner is an inspiring story of perseverance and vision. His supporters are now eagerly waiting for the official debut of SK FM, which promises to be a game-changer in the Rwandan broadcasting industry.
