TMG head of radio, Tony Mallam, spearheads the launch of the station. "The station will produce shows and content that will be directly aligned with its listeners. As the only commercial radio station in Mpumalanga, it is a valuable asset and it is important for us to deliver content that is reflective of our listeners' interests."

Its positioning is part of the group's strategy to consolidate its strong media influence and aggressively extend its footprint in the broadcast market.
