At 9am, multi-radio-award-winner Mark Pilgrim takes over from Joburg’s Hottest Breakfast with The Mark Pilgrim Show. The show opens with “The Hot Rewind” featuring 30 minutes of great hits from a mystery year. This feature is a firm favourite as listeners are invited to guess the mystery year. At 10.30am,  Pilgrim plays the one-second challenge where he plays one-second of a great old skool tune and asks listeners to guess the tune.

At 12pm it’s the turn of newcomer to Hot, Ursula Chikane. Ursula (also known as Brown Sugar) has been on the airwaves for many years and has established an enviable reputation as a true professional for her work on radio and television. Her show is full of interesting content, enlightening interviews, and the best in old skool and R&B.
