PUBLIC RADIO SCENE:
looking at ukhozi fm, the departure of dj sbu came as a blessing in gisguise as the man is entirely out of touch with ukhozi fm`s core audience. linda sibiya ang his sidekick are on point and understand their market. ukhozis drivetime is a mass though. nuff said
on umhlobo wenene, slyso needs to retire. his show is too fatigued and is not receptive to new listeners. kci left an unquenchable void on the drivetime. i do not know who said that public radio djs should scream, cry and yell out of their lungs to deliver a kick-ass show. but all these drivetime hosts seem to do that, hence they will never crack the sophisticatd higher LSM groupings at all.
TALK RADIO
John robbie of 702 is at the epitome of what punchline talk radio is all about. Keno kamiz is good but sometimes he tries too much.
sakina kimwendo constantly has a point to prove which sometimes blurs her delivery. otherwise she is up there.
Eric Miyeni is proving to have been deserving of his slot at SAfm and his direct on-air competitors should be feeling the pinch in no time.
COMMERCIAL RADIO:
dj sbu will single handedly resuscitate Yfm`s breakfast show. dnt know about the stations tattered profile though...
thomas, ur clock is ticking, move out of the comfort zone and start delivering good radio.
gareth, is untouchable. fresh as well. chilli m is a joke, no content, all laughs, perverty, whats the point?
jeremy mansfield continues to kick serious butt and is raking in the numbers in the process.
unathi and glenn just dont work. metro also needs to review their monotonous , out-dated playlist.
phat joe has jelled well at khaya and will retain the alredy existant audience but there are no fireworks so far.
one of the TOP 10 HIhGEST PAID radio jocks in no particular order:
a) dj fresh ( fresh drive )
b) dj sbu ( soon to host yfm breakfast )
c) gareth ( 5fm )
d) mansfield ( highveld
e) glenn lewis
f) john robbie ( 702 and cape talk )
i can ascertain that all the above mentioned jocks earn no less than 50grand a month and dj sbu left ukhozi fm standing at 65grand. mind to guess how much yfm put on the table to get him back???? the man is smiling all the way to the bank and will raise the listenership figuers like it is no body`s business.
