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.
Martin Bester Drive, everyone’s favourite address, will be business as usual between 4 and 7pm.
Simon Hill, still a relative newcomer to Jacaranda 94.2 with previous experience at Kfm, will be bringing you the KFC Sports Cage between 7 and 7:30 pm, before handing the microphone over to Rian van Heerden.
Rian, popular stand-up comedian, columnist, radio and TV presenter, will heat up the airwaves between 7:30 and 10pm. Listeners can expect a highly entertaining show that’s way north of “just” interesting…
Count on the company of Julio Garcia between 10pm and 1am Julio, an avid South African music supporter, will ensure that you’re always in the know with all things local!
Saturdays and Sundays kick off with the Wake Up Shake Up with Andrew Sorrill between 6 and 10am – followed by the Jacaranda 94.2 Top 20 with Robbie Kruse on Saturdays between 10am and 12 noon, and Closet Classics with Barney Simon on Sundays in the same time slot.
Maurice Carpede, also a presenter on SABC 2’s 50/50, will broadcast on Saturdays and Sundays between 12 noon and 4pm – bringing listeners the ideal soundtrack during early weekend afternoons!
Antowan Nöthling will be in a little later on Saturdays – easing you into Saturday evening between 4 and 8pm. In the same time slot on Sundays we’ll be joined South African singer and TV presenter, Pieter Koen.
Dewald Noel and Janina Oberholzer will be joining party animals and night owls on Saturdays and Sundays respectively, between 8pm and midnight.
Jenny Griesel, Marketing Manager at Jacaranda 94.2 says: “We are immensely privileged and proud to have such a stellar cast of top names at Jacaranda 94.2. In maintaining our status as South Africa’s No.1 independent radio station, this lineup delivers on the Jacaranda 94.2 promise: giving listeners more of what they want, more of life’s greatest – the greatest company, the greatest content, the greatest events and community projects and, of course, the home of Life’s Greatest Hits!”
