Does the return of Phat Joe pose a threat to the current black radio DJs?

Radio, particularly black radio, is said to be doing a complete 360º turn this April.

It's been reported that radio stations are gearing themselves up for what has been seen, by many who follow the radio industry, as the return of the giants, literally.

1. S'bu is tipped to do breakfast on Y, I suppose he has unfinished business.

2. Phat Joe is rumoured to take care of business in the morning on Kaya FM.

3.Just Ice is back in Jozi after a failed attempt at resuscitating his radio career at Durban's Gagasi FM. He's originally supposed to do breakfast at Kaya FM but with the likes of Majota said to come back, it remains to be seen what will come of the station's new line up.

4. All the black radio DJs who are currently hosting prime time slots have another thing coming. I don't think that they would've shone, had the likes of Bob and Phat Joe stayed in radio a couple of years ago.

5. Now, these DJs are hogging the airwaves (Glenzito pops into my mind at this stage) hindering young talent from shining. Oh how they forget (conveniently) that they'll be replaced and forgotten in no time.

6. Remember Gillman? Or Tich?

7. Everyone is replacable.
