Kevin Fine on Highveld

Maybe I missed something but I was surprised to hear Kevin Fine doing the afternoon show on Highveld.
Nice addition to the Highveld team, think he is seriously under rated and think Highveld have done well to secure his services.

Mark Pilgrim

I believe that Mark Pilgrim had a mild heart attack yesterday. This hugely popular TV and Radio presenter has been one of the industry stalwarts and we wish him a speedy recovery.
Best wishes to Mark and his wife.

Simphiwe joke on Highveld

Jeremy Mansfield and “Simphiwe” don’t mess around when they take a swipe at somebody…
 The team made fun of Bafana Bafana and Benni McCarthy pulling out of the side. Simphiwe’s argument was that Bafana Bafana were useless anyway and the only time South Africans beat won anything was when they BEAT FOREIGNERS AT HOME….
Hilarious but pretty […]

Airtime for SA music

I was driving today flicking between Jacaranda, Highveld and 5FM and it struck me that there is a hell of a lot of airtime for SA music these days. Even more rewarding is the quality of the music being played. 

The Parlotones, Red Angel, Skwatta Kamp, Wonderboom etc. They are all getting great exposure and airtime […]

Fugitive competition

I have been racking my brains around Radio based competitions and I can’t think of a single competition run by a radio station, that has been as successful as The Fugitive on Highveld stereo.
 Anyone else got any ideas on competitions that have kept you as gripped or intrigued on the radion?
Let me know

Top Jocks

That Roxi Burger (?) on Highveld this morning seems to have hit the right note with listeners. Seemed pretty good to me.
 Opinions?

Darren Simpson skit this morning

This morning “Whackhead” did a skit on a 419 bunch in response to an e-mail he received.
 It was definately good to see some fresh material from him and it was damn funny to boot. 10 points Darren

Rude Awakening

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? When Jeremy isn’t around I would far rather listen to just Paul Rotheram than the rest of the team. Don’t mind Darren Simpson piping up now […]

Julio Garcia - Home Bru show

Julio’s “Home Bru” show is something that steadily grew on me.
As a presenter I think that Julio has matured incredibly and has been a real success story. The fact that he has been able to craft a show with some serious local flavour is also a credit to him and to Highveld.  Local music needs shows […]

Hot Jocks…

Anybody out there entering the Highveld “Hot Jocks” contest?
What do you think of this initiative? I reckon its a great way for new entrants to get some exposure to radio and prove talent goes way beyond their CV.
Anyone out there tried out and been successful? Unsuccessful? Suggestions on how they can improve this competition?
