June 2025 Archive — Top Stories from Daily Africa Global News

June brought a mix of shocks and shifts across sports and media. Here are the four stories that mattered this month and why you should care.

Media & Entertainment

DJ Immo left Radio Maisha after seven years and joined rival Radio 47. That move matters because established hosts bring loyal listeners and advertising muscle with them. Radio Maisha faces challenges and old strengths can fade quickly if big names go. Radio 47 is clearly trying to grow fast by signing known personalities. Expect fresh show formats, sponsorship changes, and a scramble among stations to keep audiences.

Why this affects you: if you listen to Kenyan radio, you may notice your morning routine change — new playlists, different promos, and new voice talent shaping conversations. Advertisers will watch ratings and shift budgets, which can change what gets covered on air.

Sports Highlights

In the NBA Finals, the Indiana Pacers took a 2-1 lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder after Game 3. Tyrese Haliburton and Bennedict Mathurin played big roles on offense and defense, while the Thunder struggled to stop them. The series now hinges on adjustments from both teams. Expect tactical switches and targeted defensive plans in the next games as each side looks to seize momentum.

Over in international football, Italy coach Luciano Spalletti is expected to test a 3-5-2 formation in his last match against Moldova, likely bringing Davide Frattesi and Luca Ranieri into the side. Moldova will miss key names and will rely on striker Ion Nicolaescu. Spalletti’s choices offer a peek at his final plans and how he wants the squad to finish under his watch.

Back in the Premier League transfer talk, Manchester United are eyeing Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo after a 20-goal season. Mbeumo wants the move, but United aren’t the only suitor and Brentford aren’t desperate to sell. For fans, this signals how United plan to rebuild their attack without European football — targeting proven scorers rather than untested options.

Across these stories there’s a common thread: key people moving or stepping up. DJs switching stations change the media map. Players and coaches shifting tactics or clubs set up critical moments that reshape seasons and markets. Keep an eye on ratings, lineups, and transfer news — those signals tell you where attention and money will flow next.
