Kenya’s entertainment scene is set for a major shake-up as NTV Kenya announces the launch of its latest late-night program, Friday Night Rave, scheduled to air every Friday from 10 PM to midnight. The vibrant new show will be hosted by the dynamic media duo Claudia Naisabwa and Brian Aseli, who have already captivated fans through their on-air synergy on Nation FM.
A Fresh Wave of Late-Night Entertainment
Friday Night Rave promises to deliver a bold mix of unfiltered conversations, celebrity interviews, electrifying music, and lifestyle trends. Designed to capture Kenya’s vibrant youth culture, the show aims to redefine NTV’s late-night entertainment lineup with an exciting blend of humor, spontaneity, and modern energy.
Hosts With Unmatched Chemistry
Claudia and Aseli teased the new show on social media, urging fans to expect “electrifying vibes, real talk, and weekend energy.” Their announcement quickly went viral, with fans expressing enthusiasm and nostalgia for their radio chemistry, which many described as “unfiltered, fun, and perfectly in sync.”
Replacing The Trend and Ushering in a New Era
The launch of Friday Night Rave follows the conclusion of The Trend, NTV’s long-running entertainment show that previously occupied the same slot. Hosted by Amina Abdi Rabar since 2017, the show ended in September 2025 after Amina’s heartfelt farewell to fans and colleagues — marking the end of a legacy and opening doors for a new generation of hosts.
Meet the Hosts: Claudia Naisabwa and Brian Aseli
Brian Aseli, a former journalist with Standard Media Group, is already a familiar face to NTV viewers, having appeared regularly as a panelist on The Trend. Known for his sharp wit and deep understanding of pop culture, Aseli brings a confident presence and insightful commentary to the new program.
Claudia Naisabwa, on the other hand, continues her impressive rise as one of Kenya’s fastest-growing media personalities. As a radio host on Nation FM, she’s known for her charm, relatability, and her finger on the pulse of Kenya’s youth culture. Her transition to television marks an exciting new chapter in her blossoming career.
Celebrating Kenyan Creativity
According to NTV, Friday Night Rave will celebrate music, lifestyle, celebrity culture, and social conversation in an unscripted and interactive format. The show seeks to give Kenyan artists, influencers, and creators a platform to connect directly with audiences in a refreshing, high-energy setting.

As the countdown to its premiere continues, social media is already buzzing with excitement.
