BBC is set to have its biggest office branch in the world hosted in Nairobi.
A tweet by BBC business editor Larry Madowo stated that the office will be the biggest outside the UK.
The BBC in Africa is set to launch the bureau together with a studio that will operate in Kenya.
The studio will play host to a new show Money Daily, which will be the first show by the international media house to broadcast everyday from Africa.
The show which premiers on Monday November 5, will be anchored by former K24 news anchor Maya Hayakawa.
Former NTV journalist who doubled up as an anchor and host, explained that the new show will showcase the endeavours of African entrepreneurs.
"Money Daily is here for the audiences that are finding themselves left out by business stories in the media.
"The headlines of the day will be presented alongside the real reactions and experiences of all types of African entrepreneurs.
"We know this will be a useful programme for viewers making their everyday money decisions," stated Modowo.
Details of how big the news-centre will be are yet to be revealed.

Already we have CCTV, Xinua, sasa BBC, tunangoja Aljazeera, France24, DW,CNN
Conclusion, You don't host such HQ's in places with no media freedom cause your jounerlists wont be safe and you could be closed down any moment... So the question is why the hell do they claim Kenya has no media freedom
hahahaha...BBC themselves confirmed it in their official twitter handle...poleHuyu Ndugu yenu Larry amewadanganya, the biggest BBC office out of UK is in USA, BBC AMERICA infact its independence in terms of generating its own income.
Your last point I take it as a joke, Kenya closes down media houses every time someone feel threaten. kweli uwongo?

Umeona eeh, wanahabari wa Kenya hawana mzaha. Yaani BBC wamewanyakua kama wote bana.Kumbe hadi Mwahiga Mwaura Na Zawadi Mudibo walichukuliwa na BBC.
Enyewe Kenyan journalists wako another level.
Pia Peter Mwangangi Na Hudheifa Aden

BBC launches largest bureau outside UK
😀😀😀pengine nikuulize uelewa wako wa maneno haya "largest bureau outside UK" ni upi?Is just a business wording iliyotumika hapa, BBC American is an independent organization from BBC UK. 51% of BBC revenue comes from BBC America alone, you can't be seen in 71 million household ukasema thats a small organization. Kenya has 8.7 million household. Remember, hapo wamesema Journalist in training, sio staffs ambayo worldwide bbc wamefika over 35,000.
😀😀😀pengine nikuulize uelewa wako wa maneno haya "largest bureau outside UK" ni upi?
wewe mpingamizi tu bure...kwani ni sisi tunasema au ni wao?😀😀Pili, nobody is talking about mapato ya kibiashara, au household so sijui nani aliyekuambia ni vigezo hivyo ndio wameangazia mpaka wakasema ndio largest nje ya UK...wanaweza kuwa tu wanamaanisha physical office yenyewe ndio kubwa kabisa nje ya UK...sijui kiingereza ndio kigumu au🙄🙄Ungekaa chini ukajifunza BBC structure labda ungenielewa, na kwanini hujaisikia BBC-America inaohelewa japo nusu ya mapato yao ya kibiashara yanatoka huko? 71 million household man, hufanyi hiyo kazi na two staffs.
discussing anything with Bongo people is brain draining, now we are arguing about the meaning of "biggest".. halafu they have a way of making themselves look smart by knowing nothing about the topic of discussion. instead of them giving their set of facts they result to, "mjinga wewe", jielimishe, soma... fkthemallUngekaa chini ukajifunza BBC structure labda ungenielewa, na kwanini hujaisikia BBC-America inaohelewa japo nusu ya mapato yao ya kibiashara yanatoka huko? 71 million household man, hufanyi hiyo kazi na two staffs.

Few years ago, BBC walienda kufungua India office, na huko wakatumia lugha hiyo hiyo the largest barue outside UK.
