Y, South Africa’s pioneering commercial radio outlet celebrated for its innovative approach and dedication to nurturing new talent, is excited to unveil its lineup for 2024, starting April 2nd.
This past year, Y has seen a surge in its audience base and a significantly enhanced brand image, thanks to its bold programming strategies.
Reflecting on this growth, Haseena Cassim, Y’s Managing Director, remarked, “Embracing our adventurous spirit, we reshaped our lineup last year, resulting in remarkable outcomes. The 2024/2025 schedule aims to build on this success, introducing vibrant new voices that perfectly complement our existing roster.”
The weekday schedule kicks off with Nia Brown, Mthaux, and Okay Wasabi, who bring their dynamic energy back to The Way Up, airing from 05:00 to 09:00. Xtremme takes over from 09:00 to 12:00 with Morning Break, continuing to inspire and entertain. The Lunch League, hosted by Lula Odiba and Caddy, captures the midday slot from 12:00 to 15:00. Ayanda MVP leads the afternoon drive from 15:00 to 18:00 on Home Run, while Supta captivates listeners from 19:00 to 22:00 on Unlocked from Monday to Thursday, enriching the 8pm discussion hour this year.
Weekends start strong with Tulz Madala hosting Kickstart Café on Saturdays and Sunday Feels on Sundays from 06:00 to 10:00, in addition to leading the pre-breakfast slot on weekdays with Breaking Dawn.
New to the weekend lineup, Shamiso Mosaka brings The Rizz to Saturday afternoons from 17:00 to 18:00, promising a fusion of global sounds. Cesare “Hype” Morey joins the Y family with Hype Factory on Friday nights from 21:00 to 00:00, spotlighting the finest global dance tracks. Sizwe Mngomezulu, a standout from #BeTheNext Season 2, takes on the late-night wave on weekends, while Majorsteez On The Streets expands to a two-hour slot on Thursdays.
As we bid farewell to OG Samke, we celebrate his contributions and look forward to his future endeavors, grateful for his time with Y.
Y remains committed to discovering and fostering fresh talent, offering new voices a chance on the Playground slot on Thursday and Friday mornings, as well as weekend mornings.
“These lineup enhancements promise to deliver an unmatched listening experience, featuring content that is not only entertaining but also meaningful, reflective of our listeners’ diverse interests and lifestyles,” says Phindi Ziqubu, Y’s Content Manager.
In 2024, Y continues to resonate with the energy of possibility, inviting listeners to ask, ‘Y NOT?’
