For the second year running, national carrier Kenya Airways has partnered with the Nation Media Group (NMG) to facilitate the live production of the London Marathon.
Kenya Airways flew Nation Media Group reporter Ayumba Ayodi and cameraperson Nelly Gathumbi to London for today’s epic race, underscoring their support for Kenyan sport.
NMG’s television station NTV will broadcast Sunday’s London Marathon live with a pre-race package from 11am that will feature legends on the analysis panel, including former winners Mary Keitany and Felix Limo.
Three-time London Marathon winner Keitany and Limo, race champion in 2006, will be on a panel set up in Eldoret where NMG will hold a “mother of all live viewing parties” on Uganda Road in the heart of Eldoret.
The coverage will also include analysis from the NTV studios at Nation Centre and in London.
“Kenya Airways’ investment in sports is built on a foundation of long-standing partnerships that have endured for decades,” Allan Kilavuka, Kenya Airways’ Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, said on Saturday.
“As a network carrier, our greatest asset is our ability to fly to multiple destinations worldwide, and this has played a crucial role in our partnerships that have seen us transport athletes and news media covering various global sports events.”
Kilavuka stressed the carrier’s continued commitment to promoting tourism, investment, trade and the culture of Africa to the world, and vice versa.
