In addition to his involvement in the show, Arocho serves as a sports presenter at Radio 47. Following a tenure of over 14 years at Radio Jambo, he made the transition to the Cape Media-owned station.
Arocho departed in 2023, citing an improved salary, prospects for professional advancement, and a distinct working atmosphere as reasons for accepting an offer from Radio 47.
“I was being paid well at Radio Jambo but Radio 47 increased the package and now it feels the efforts I have put in and the time I have been on radio are finally paying off,” he stated.
Arocho continues to be a part of the sports commentary division at Radio 47, collaborating with Hassan Mwana wa Ali. Additionally, he serves as the host for two sports programs on both Saturdays and Sundays.
Arocho is one of several media figures who have departed from Citizen TV, marking a notable trend.
In February, Chemutai Goin and Hassan Mugambi departed from the journalism team to take up positions in the office of the National Assembly Speaker and the Ministry of Defence, respectively.
