Independent radio station, Jacaranda 94.2, has grown in leaps and bounds in the past year – 24% growth in Gauteng audiences, 27.9% Afrikaans market share in Gauteng and a 50% growth in English audiences, as per the newest SAARF RAMS 2011/1.
In its commitment to giving listeners even more of all the top notch content and chart-topping tunes they love to hear, Jacaranda 94.2 recently completed extensive listener research, and now offers some of the old favourites listeners love, a shuffle here and there… and some awesome new talent and shows!
On weekdays you can still count on the multiple award-winning Just Plain Breakfast with Darren Scott, Dianne Broodryk and John Walland. Just Plain Breakfast stays in its slot of 6 to 10am; popular Robbie Kruse, who will also be presenting the 5am to 6am slot on weekdays, will now join the team.
The first session of the Work zone, in its routine 10am to 1pm spot, will now be presented by Frankie du Toot. Frankie, known for his edgy humour and irreverent approach, takes the reins after being part of the Just Plain Breakfast team for many years.
Radio icon, Barney Simon will still handle the 2nd shift of the Workzone between 1 and 4pm.
