“METRO FM remains a leading urban commercial radio through innovative programming and quality sounds (music). Our strategy is that “don’t fix it when it’s not broken” however it is important to refresh, strengthen and rotate talent to ensure we receive maximum output. We are gradually phasing our strategy by introducing personalities that will help us deliver more on our mandate. It is important to mention we are strengthening our on-air output by emphasizing more on content production, establish strong technical production identity to improve our offering”, says Station Manager, Martin Vilakazi.
