104.9 rings in 2006 with a new line-up

"104.9 offers Capetonians a place to belong and where they feel at home. It's about fostering and nurturing a friendship with our audience to help us get closer to them. I feel we are hitting the right note after intensive research into defining our perfect music format.

"The music format has been polished from being a primarily jazz radio station when we first launched, to an urban AC format with slight jazz undertones. You will hear all your familiar favourites on the station, with personalities on the station to co-incide with the overall tone of the station."

Newcomer to the station is Ayanda Pini, who started her radio career only four months ago working for a retail radio station. She is doing the graveyard shift at 104.9 - weekdays between 4am and 6am.

People of the Light's Koketso Sachane will switch places with Clarence Ford between 12pm and 3pm weekdays. The programme is primarily music driven interspersed with details on what's topical in Cape Town.

Ford brings his mellow attitude to listeners from 6pm until 10pm (Mondays to Thursdays), and on Fridays the time channel is covered by Bongani Njoli.

e-tv's weatherwoman Saskia Falken will broadcast between 10am and 2pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
