Wednesday night, 1 June 2011, will see the Bizcommunity and 101.9 FM Media & Marketing show take to the air at 6pm, hosted by Fine. Each week the show will feature the big names of the industry, media trends, agency and brand activities.

Comments Warren Harding, Bizcommunity's recently appointed marketing manager, "It made perfect sense for us to partner with 101.9 FM and take the trusted online brand to the airwaves."

Graeme Joffe

Chai FM has also acquired Graeme Joffe, co-founder of Township TV and former Highveld 94.7 and CNN presenter, to host Sportsfire.

Sportsfire - described as a straight shooting no-nonsense sports show that intends to get to the truth behind all the biggest sporting stories - sees Joffe on air every Tuesday night 6pm-7pm and Sunday mornings 9am-10am, starting Tuesday 31 May at 6pm.

The show encourages listeners to call in and air their opinions while Joffe scrums down with administrators, coaches and players. According to him, there'll be "no more sitting on the fence; it's time for some straight talk in South African sport."
