It’s that time of the year again at 5FM; April brings with it a few tweaks to the weekday line-up and bigger changes to the weekend. 5FM will be shaking things up just a little with regards to the presenters and producers. There are also some great new programming changes and innovative radio additions.
We’re most excited about our programming additions. Last year we set a trend by kicking off breakfast at 5am and this year we’re trying something new again. We’re adding on a new talk element similar to the popular Ted Talks which morning presenter Nick Hamman will play host to. The feature,5Talks, forms part of 5FM’s CSi Youngblood5 and will see Nick chatting to motivational South Africans and young achievers in a monthly talk show setting that will translate on air on the Rob Forbes and Fix show on the third Friday between 15:00-16:00.
The Roger Goode Show has altered the Ulimix a little and will refer to their 18:00-19:00 segment as The Happy Hour which begins with The Goode Mix until 18:20 and continue with the popular Ultimix until 19:00. Roger promises the mix will be extraordinary, much like himself, and include his mixing mastery of old school hits and the latest releases.
With regards to line-up changes, the weekday line-up remains relatively unaffected where timeslots are concerned. DJ Fresh and his breakfast team remain in their slot between 05:00 and 08:00. Fresh@5 will however, bid farewell to content producer Catherine Grenfell, who will be moving to produce DJ Warras’ show, The 5th Element from 19:00-22:00.
Nick Hamman who is on between 08:00-10:00 will release smart-as-a-whip newsreader and contributor Kim Schulze, who will be moving to take over news on The Roger Goode Show, afternoon drive time from 16:00-19:00. Newsreader, Vic Naidoo has been given an opportunity to host his own show; early Friday mornings from 01:00-05:00 and Saturdays and Sundays, 01:00-04:00.
Your weekends begin on Friday nights and they’re about to get hotter and louder with Milkshake’s, The Shakedown moving to an earlier slot from 19:00-22:00. The party continues on Saturdays with Milkshake between 22:00-01:00 .
Mixi, will continue the Friday party into the weekend from 22:00-01:00. Mixi, who has taken over the Ultimix Weekend Edition will also be on air on Saturdays, 19:00-22:00 and on Sundays, 17:00 – 19:00.
