NTV Kenya has officially unveiled a new entertainment show, Friday Night Rave, set to light up Kenyan screens every Friday from 10 PM to midnight.

The show will be hosted by two of the country’s rising media personalities — Claudia Naisabwa and Brian Aseli, who are already well-known for their dynamic on-air chemistry on Nation FM.

Friday Night Rave promises to deliver high-energy entertainment, unfiltered conversations, celebrity interviews, and the freshest trends in music and lifestyle — marking a vibrant new era for NTV’s late-night entertainment slot.

The announcement has generated buzz among fans who have followed Claudia and Aseli’s journey in the media space.

Their youthful energy, humor, and effortless banter have made them a favorite duo on radio, and now, they’re bringing that same spark to television.

“Get ready for electrifying vibes, unfiltered conversations, and pure weekend energy. The rave starts this Friday,” the two teased in a joint post on their social media pages.

The End of an Era — and the Start of a New One

Friday Night Rave takes over the slot previously occupied by NTV’s The Trend, which was hosted by Amina Abdi Rabar until her departure in September 2025.

Amina took over the show from Larry Madowo in 2017, maintaining its reputation as one of Kenya’s most-watched Friday night entertainment programs.

Her final appearance on The Trend aired on September 5, when she emotionally bid farewell to viewers and her Trending Talk (TTTT) panelists.

This is the last time I get to sign out on TTTT. My name is Amina Abdi Rabar. This was my last show,” she said, as her colleagues looked on in disbelief.

“I am not lying. Thank you so much to all for the love. Thanks to all of you for welcoming me into your homes. I appreciate it. Thank you to all the panellists and other hosts I have had here.”

Amina’s graceful exit left many fans nostalgic, but NTV seems ready to inject new life into the slot with Claudia and Aseli’s youthful and vibrant approach.

Meet the New Duo

Brian Aseli, who transitioned to NTV from Standard Media Group, is no stranger to the entertainment scene. He was a regular panelist on The Trend before landing this new hosting role, making him a familiar face to NTV audiences.

His engaging personality and deep understanding of pop culture make him a perfect fit for the Friday night show.

Claudia Naisabwa, on the other hand, is one of the fastest-rising media stars in Kenya. As a radio host on Nation FM, she co-hosts a popular show alongside Aseli, where the two have built an undeniable chemistry that has resonated with listeners.

Claudia brings her infectious charm, style, and youthful perspective to the screen, promising to connect deeply with Kenya’s entertainment-loving audience.
