"We are excited to introduce our 2023 line up," said Alex Mthiyane, the head of audience experience at Gagasi FM. “Some of these tweaks to our line-up reaffirms our obsession with our audience, informed by extensive research and how listening and streaming trends and patterns have evolved in the past 18 months. Unapologetically KZN, the station had responded with a variety of new and refreshed shows crafted to reflect the diversity and uniqueness of our province whilst ensuring we pertinently cater for KZNers in the diaspora through vodcasts and other digital platforms. Discovering and recognising fresh talent has invariably been at the forefront of our strategy. In designing this line-up, we put the needs of our audience and relevance as our priority," said Mthiyane.

Listeners can look forward to their favourite shows such as ‘The Uprising’ (6-9am) with Felix Hlophe who will now be joined by Minnie Ntuli.
