"We realise that the lockdown gives radio the opportunity to be as South African as we can be," says Tim Thabethe, OFM programme manager. "Through shared solidarity, OFM does this through the music we play."

"In context, our ethos of 'Living The Real Good Life' speaks to being as 'central South African' as we can be and by playing the music South Africans love," adds Thabethe.

"We take pride in who we are as a nation and love to showcase our country's amazing talent as often as is possible; we already do during the SA Music Hour, which features on Monday to Thursdays at 22:00, and in Sound Check, which features on Thursdays at 15:30," says Thabethe.

Listeners have been encouraged to request their favourites during the following five dedicated timeslots:

  • weekdays at 10:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 20:00, and
  • weekends during the All Request show on Sundays at 16:00 to 19:00.
As part of OFM's new programme offering, which is launching in April, The Real Good Weekend sees the Central SA Top 30 moving to Saturday mornings between 09:00 and 12:00.

Saturday afternoon will see OFM Decades playing the best of the 1990s and 2000s, which will then followed by That Absolute Retro Radio Show, which plays the best from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and is hosted by Tony Blewitt.

The Boombox is featured on Fridays from 21:00 and Supermix is featured on Saturdays from 20:00. Additionally, Stasie2 streams all Afrikaans hits online, twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week.
