From the high-energy of Afternoon Drive to the dynamic Breakfast Shows, Primedia says that its diverse line-up celebrates local talent at its best.

According to the group, standouts among the nominees include drive time Kfm's Carl Wastie on the Flash Drive, 947's Drive with Thando Thabethe and John Perlman on 702 Drive — each continuing to captivate audiences with their unique styles and compelling content.

Primedia says that it dominates the coveted Breakfast Show category, with all four of its flagship shows — Kfm's Darren Simpson, 702's Bongani Bingwa, 947's Anele Mdoda and CapeTalk's Lester Kiewit — earning well-deserved recognition.

Meanwhile, CapeTalk and 702's Money Show earned nominations in the Business and Finance category, bridging complex financial topics with relatable insights that resonate with listeners, says the group. 

Primedia says that its connection with its audiences shines through in community-driven initiatives like Kfm's Geniet Dit Met Tracey Lange and the impactful Stationery Vehicle project on Carl Wastie's Flash Drive. These nominations reaffirm radio's transformative role as more than just a medium for entertainment — it's a powerful platform for positive change.

With nominations spanning Daytime Shows, Radio Documentaries and the action-packed Sports Show categories — featuring Robert Marawa — Primedia says that it continues to redefine excellence across the airwaves.

Primedia Broadcasting concludes that as anticipation builds for the awards ceremony, its 39 nominations cement its position as a leader in the industry, particularly in the highly competitive breakfast segment. This achievement reflects not just the exceptional talent of its hosts but also the responsive, engaged audiences who inspire them every day. The countdown to the winners has begun, but one thing is certain: Primedia Broadcasting and its audiences are at the heart of South Africa's radio success story.
