PROVERB JOINS METRO FM


METRO FM is handing over the microphones to hip-hop artist Proverb and former e.tv news anchor Nothemba Madumo who will be joining the station in April as part of their new line up.

In addition station music compiler and house DJ Fistaz Mixwell will be making his debut on air on T-Bo Touch’s Friday evening outing, with a live mix between 8pm and 9pm every week.

The popular Sentle Lehoko will assume the reins of Shereez’s 6am to 10am Saturday breakfast slot, as well as her Sunday 9pm to midnight show. The experienced Refiloe Mphakanyane joins the weekday breakfast team as a commentator and taking over the news reading duties Monday to Friday.

In the only other change on the station DJ Nutty extends his weekday evening mix of DJ sets and party tunes on The Nite Life Express to Saturdays, taking over the 10pm to 1am slot from Sentle.

Channel O VJ Proverb will make his mark on what has traditionally been METRO FM’s trainee slot, between midnight and 3am on Saturdays and Sundays. From April, the popular MC will co-host the show with the station’s up-and-coming jocks.

The core weekday prime-time line-up remains unchanged, with Thomas, Azania, Penny, Glen and Unathi, and Robert continuing to keep listeners company with a mix of banter and beats.

A question that we have to ponder especially in the light of Proverb's appointment, is it cool for musicians and artists to occupy spots on radio? Can we expect them to be objective? Please cast your vote in the poll on the right side of this page.
