KenFM was a German internet journalism portal, established in 2011 by German television and radio presenter Ken Jebsen. It is the successor of a former eponymous radio show,[1] which had over the course of ten years been hosted by Ken Jebsen, aired from 2001 to 2011 on the youth channel Radio Fritz of Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB). Despite its popularity the show abruptly came to an end, because of Ken's surmised repeatedly violating the journalistic standards of RBB. According to the RBB Ken Jebsen had "repeatedly disregarded binding agreements", consequently co-operation was ended on 23 November 2011 and the program was discontinued permanently.[2]
Since the program's relaunch on a freelance basis as web portal and YouTube channel in spring 2012, KenFM has been producing news reports, interviews, talk-shows, political comments and analyses on a regular basis. The portal is mainly known for publishing "alternative views" and conspiracy theories, such as about the 9/11 attack and the Coronavirus pandemic.[3][4]
