In celebrating 60 years of broadcasting excellence the station believes that changes introduced in the line-up will grow listenership, which is currently sitting at 3-millione.

This developmental approach to content production aims to increase audience and most importantly revenue for the station. The station strategy prides itself on creative excellence and respect.”
