Ask A Man has already earned the trust of audiences on Metro FM by creating a space for honest dialogue around relationships and life’s complexities. Bringing this much-loved format to television allows us to deepen those conversations, encourage empathy, and remind South Africans that many of the challenges they face are shared. We invite viewers to tell their stories, because every story has the power to help someone else feel seen, understood and inspired.” Dichaba Phalatse, marketing manager: Video Entertainment, SABC.

“For years, Metro FM has held space for honest conversations about dating, heartbreak, marriage and family. ‘Ask A Man’ became more than a feature — it became a trust relationship with our audience. As it evolves into a television format on S3 we are giving South Africans a platform to share their stories anonymously and gain perspective,” says, Siyanda Fikelephi, acting business manager, Metro FM.
