The celebrated Ugandan radio and TV host Karitas Karisimbi is making a sensational comeback to television with her latest venture, a reality TV talk show called My Story. Airing on Pearl Magic Prime via DStv and GOtv, this show promises to delve deep into the lives of individuals who have faced and conquered incredible life challenges. With its premiere set for July 29th at 8 PM, viewers are in for a treat every Saturday evening as My Story takes over the slot previously held by Our Perfect Wedding.
Karitas Karisimbi, a legendary figure in Ugandan broadcasting, had taken a hiatus from the small screen to focus on other aspects of her life. But now, she’s back, and she’s bringing with her a show that promises to resonate with viewers on a deeply emotional level. In each episode, Karitas will explore the extraordinary journeys of everyday people who have faced life’s toughest battles with courage and resilience.
“My Story is more than just a show; it’s a celebration of triumphs,” Karitas said, her excitement palpable.
“There’s so much happening behind the scenes in Uganda that deserves to be highlighted. This platform gives us the chance to celebrate inspiring Ugandans and uplift others through their stories.”
Rinaldi Jamugisa, the PR and Communications Manager at MultiChoice Uganda, echoed Karitas’s sentiments. “My Story is a testament to the need for variety in the content we offer our customers. We are very conscious that our audiences span all categories and age groups, and we need to provide a wide range of programming for our Ugandan viewers,” Jamugisa said.
“Collaborating with Karitas, a legend in Ugandan television, brings to life the inspiring stories of Ugandans that we don’t get to see every day. This show will inspire many to reflect on their lives and aspire to achieve great things.”
Each episode of My Story promises to be an emotional rollercoaster. From overcoming life-threatening illnesses to battling societal injustices, guests on the show will share their heartfelt stories, giving viewers a glimpse into their struggles, setbacks, and ultimate triumphs. These narratives, rich with authenticity, will showcase the human capacity for strength, compassion, and perseverance.
Karitas, who first rose to fame in the early 2000s as the host of the trailblazing magazine show “Showtime Magazine” on WBS TV, has over 20 years of experience in broadcasting. Her return to television is not just a comeback; it’s a triumph. With My Story, she aims to give a voice to those whose inspiring journeys often go unheard.
“I would like to thank MultiChoice Uganda for providing us with such a platform through their deliberate efforts to promote local content concepts like My Story,”
Karitas added. “Without their support, many talents would remain on the sidelines, waiting for the next big opportunity. Channels like Pearl Magic Prime and Pearl Magic have given Ugandans a voice. I hope that My Story will amplify this voice even more.”
In a media landscape often dominated by international content, My Story stands out as a beacon of local pride and resilience. MultiChoice Uganda’s commitment to offering diverse and engaging programming is evident in this new show, which is set to captivate audiences with its heartfelt and inspiring tales.
So mark your calendars and get ready to be moved. My Story premieres on Pearl Magic Prime on July 29th at 8 PM, Channel 148 on DStv, and Channel 303 on GOtv. Tune in every Saturday to witness the extraordinary stories of ordinary Ugandans, and let Karitas Karisimbi guide you through their incredible journeys.
