In with Becker, out with Jeannie D at Good Hope

Effective 1 October 2006, Becker will take over from Jeannie D on the Monday to Thursday slot, 6 - 10pm, with Pam Lungu now presenting at these times Friday, Saturday and Sundays.

Jeannie D has chosen to join the Top Billing team fulltime from 1 October. Currently appearing in "Strictly Come Dancing", Jeannie D has been with Good Hope FM for four years, starting off as a news broadcaster and eventually making her way to the weekday 6 - 10pm slot.

"Radio is my first love, and I will always be grateful for the platform Good Hope FM has provided me with. No other station could have provided me with a better training ground," says Jeannie D.

"I am thrilled to be joining such a dynamic team of talented individuals- it's an opportunity for growth and expansion in my career and a brilliant platform for really taking it to the next level", says Becker about her move. Becker has also worked in television, being a presenter on Top Billing, The Cosmo Show, Mega Millions and currently on SABC 3's Free Spirit.

Newly-appointed Good Hope FM station manager, Anthony Duke, is excited about the change. "We wish Jeannie D well in her new career, and we're proud that it was Good Hope FM that was her launching pad onto a national stage. Natalie is a popular, well-loved and well-respected media superstar and will be the perfect ingredient to the already talented blend of on air talent."

Duke formally takes over as station manager at Good Hope FM from 1 September 2006.
