Being something of a pleb of a white guy from the leafy suburbs of Parktown I have a very simplistic question to ask around “black” radio. What are the successful black radio stations, which of their presenters stand out and why are they successful?
The reason I ask is that I have an obsession with communications [...]

Campus and varsity radios are a wealth of radio talent. I used to drop my brother off in Pretoria and loved to be able to get in range of the Tuks FM radio band.

What’s the community take on the Rude AWakening (RAW) show? Undoubtedly Jeremy Masnfield makes the show but I wonder if “Joburg’s BIGGEST Breakfast show” isn’t due for a makeover?
