Featuring 5FM DJs, it will cover the latest music, news, gossip, events, tours, parties, fashions and gigs both in South Africa and abroad. On a more personal note, the show will also give its viewers a peek into the lives of some of its DJs and presenters.

With 5FM's Grant Nash and Anele Mdoda as anchors, features will include Thomas Msengana on sports, Sureshnie's Top 3 of the Top 40 and Power Nites' presenters (DJ Fresh, Euphonik, Bongi Mbelu, C-Live and Jon Savage) with the best of their weekly shows as well as a number of packaged inserts lead by its DJs, as they gig, party, travel and promote around the country. It includes Gareth Cliff's News to Use or Lose and will also bring the character of Tyren to life, an on-air feature on The Fresh Drive.

5FM station manager Aisha Mohamed says "The station aims to be a multi-platform youth offering, which is accessible on many levels. This TV show is a part of this 360 degree approach to radio, adding an exciting new dimension to the brand offering."

SABC3 marketing manager Risuna Mayimele adds, "This is a powerful media platform that brings the power of radio to TV and we believe that the fusion of these two brands will enable the channel to connect with the younger market in a fresh manner."
