East Coast Breakfast with Darren, Sky, and Carmen remains the flagship show, celebrating a year of laughter and entertainment every morning from 6-9am. Their dynamic presence is showcased through great content moments, hit music, and community-focused initiatives like the Big Favour. Over the past year, the Big Favour has facilitated numerous community projects, raising significant funds of over R5m and supporting causes such as the recent Tongaat relief efforts.

Carol Ofori, your daytime queen, continues to inspire listeners with her show, featuring segments like Women Crush Wednesday, which highlights South African women excelling in their fields during the 9am-12pm slot.

Danny Guselli now leads the Workday Lunch Show from 12-3pm, offering a fresh perspective with compelling discussions and great music. This move from Weekend Top 40 to a weekday slot underscores his growing influence and popularity. Listeners can now catch Styles Mbatha as he takes the reins of the Weekend Top 40 on Saturdays from 10am-2pm and provides some Sunday good vibes in the same time slot.

The drive team, hosted by Stacey and J Sbu from 3-6pm, adds high-powered energy to the afternoon, delivering content that resonates with listeners and keeps them entertained on their way home.

ECR proudly welcomes Ndabe Zondi, a standout from ECR’s 2021 radio presenter search competition, where he was the runner-up. Ndabe has honed his skills behind the scenes at the station’s studios over the years, and now steps into the spotlight to host the Early Breakfast Show every weekday from 4-6am.
