Looking for Mr/Ms Good Hope

"We are continually on the lookout to discover young fresh talent that aspires to be in the broadcasting industry and who can add to our already dynamic line-up,” says programme manager Gerard Muller. “Many of our well established DJs like Nigel Pierce, Suga, Guy McDonald and Sean O cut their broadcasting teeth on campus radio. Hosting the DJ search will be a great opportunity and fun way to find hidden talent."

Judges

The panel of judges will include Gerard Muller (programme manager), Kurt Meyer (programming), Grant Lesch (programming), Nigel Pierce (presenter), Ready D (presenter) and Natano Brache (station manager).

The judges will visit the five campuses, select a finalist from each, who will get the opportunity to co-host a show with Ebrahiem Inglis. The judges will then select one winner who will win a contract to host his/her own show on the station and be an on-air DJ at for a year.
