Bringing back the magic

Since the advent of the National State of Disaster due to Covid-19, Magic828 had partnered with LM Radio to simulcast programming. With the end of the state of disaster, both stations will revert to broadcasting independently.

 The new line up includes experienced radio talent Graeme White, Adrian Larger, Megan Edwards and Seano Loots. The station’s new tagline ‘Your music and more’ will give you an indication of the thrilling new journey they will be embarking on with an energetic new leadership team.
