Celebrated Ugandan radio and TV host Karitas Karisimbi is making a triumphant return to television with a new reality TV talk show titled “My Story.” The show, airing on Pearl Magic Prime via DStv and GOtv, explores the lives of individuals who have faced and conquered significant life challenges, driven by their spirit and resilience.
“My Story” is the latest initiative by MultiChoice Uganda to provide diverse content for its viewers. Aimed particularly at family audiences, the show promises to deliver inspiring and engaging narratives that resonate widely.
This new venture marks Karisimbi’s return to television after a sabbatical during which she focused on other aspects of her life. Rinaldi Jamugisa, PR and Communications Manager at MultiChoice Uganda welcomed the show, emphasizing the importance of content variety for their customers.
“’My Story’ is evident in the need for variety in the content we offer to our customers on our local content slate. At MultiChoice, we are very conscious that our audiences span all categories and age groups, which is why we need to provide a wide range of programming for our Ugandan viewers,” Jamugisa said.
“In this show, we are proud to collaborate with one of the legends of Ugandan television, Karitas Karisimbi, to anchor our vision of bringing to life the inspiring stories of Ugandans that we don’t get to see every day. I am confident that this show will inspire many Ugandans to reflect on their lives and aspire to achieve great things.”
“My Story” is an emotionally charged talk show that unfolds captivating narratives of everyday individuals who have faced life’s challenges with utmost courage and determination. The show’s essence lies in the transformative power of storytelling, giving viewers a window into the shared human experience. Whether guests have triumphed over adversity or become pioneers and mentors, their stories serve as a testament to the strength of the human spirit, resonating deeply with the audience.
“I am very excited about the opportunity to present Ugandans with a place where we celebrate triumphs. ‘My Story’ offers a platform that is rare on television in this country. There is so much happening behind the scenes in Uganda that deserves celebration. On this show, we are providing a platform for inspiring Ugandans to uplift others,” Karisimbi expressed.
She continued, “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.’ 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 each episode, host Karitas Karisimbi delves into the lives of individuals who have faced formidable challenges yet emerged victorious, driven by their endless spirit and resilience. Guests recount their journeys through heartfelt conversations, sharing intimate details of their struggles, setbacks, and eventual triumphs. From overcoming life-threatening illnesses to battling societal injustices, guests on “My Story” represent a mosaic of experiences and backgrounds. Viewers are invited to witness the raw authenticity of each narrative, gaining insight into the human capacity for strength, compassion, and perseverance.
“My Story” premieres on Pearl Magic Prime on 29th July at 8 pm on Channel 148 on DStv and Channel 303 on GOtv. It will air every Saturday at 8:00 pm, replacing the timeslot previously held by “Our Perfect Wedding” (OPW), another reality TV show. This new talk show expands MultiChoice Uganda’s local content offering, adding an exciting new dimension to its programming.
Karitas Karisimbi, who holds legendary status among Ugandan television viewers, first rose to fame in the early 2000s as the host of the trailblazing magazine show “Showtime Magazine” on WBS TV. With over 20 years of experience in broadcasting, she has earned respect as the host of numerous shows on both radio and television over the years.
