team comprising of Managing Director, Tony Mallam, Programme Director,
Clive Ridgway, Head of Talk Content, Lizma van Zyl and Marketing
Manager, Nomfundo Calana, all of whom come with a wealth of knowledge.
Singh commented: “We are excited
about launching a brand new radio station in Cape Town. Our format is
based on extensive research and it is designed to deliver to the market
the under-served elements of talk, news and current affairs, especially
in the Afrikaans language. Additionally, the station will take heed of
what our listeners want to hear and this will further inform our
content. For us, we are very excited that the station is a venture

with the same success.”

develop vibrant new radio talent who will be supported and nurtured by
experienced professionals in our team. To this end, we are convinced
that we have assembled an experienced and formidable team who has the
necessary skills, passion and commitment to ensure the long-term
viability and sustainability of the station. Our objective is to
establish and develop it to become the Number One radio brand in Cape
Town.”
Says Managing Director, Tony Mallam:
“The station, which will broadcast in both Afrikaans and English, will
be a hybrid talk and music station and will broadcast live 24/7 in the
Cape Town Metropolitan area.”
