Good Hope FM has announced it search campaign for fresh young talents to become South Africa’s hottest new radio presenters.
The #GoodHopeFMCampusPresenterSearch has launched the careers of many of the country’s top on-air talents, including Nick Hamman, Dalin Oliver and Kyeezi.
The initiative is a golden ticket opportunity for those who want to get started in radio, with an amazing training program with Good Hope FM, as well as R5 000 in cash up for grabs, says the radio station.
The station adds that it will be doing a combination of live, on-campus auditions, as well as online auditions to pick the ‘crème de la crème’ of those who are ready to ROCK the airwaves.
According to the radio station, for online auditions, registered students must go to Good Hope FM’s website or download the Good Hope FM app, complete the entry form, listen to a demo recording by Kyeezi, and upload a sound bite of their own to show the judges why they deserve a sizzling hot spot behind the studio mic.
With on-campus auditions limited to registered students of each respective campus, Good Hope FM says that it will be visiting the following campuses between midday and 14:00:
Monday, 5 August: Cape Peninsula University of Technology, District 6 Campus
Wednesday, 7 August: Northlink Tygerberg Campus, and
Thursday, 15 August: University of the Western Cape.
Entrants are required to complete an entry form on the day, take part in the live-read audition, hear if they are shortlisted, and stick around until the end of the session for the winner announcement.
The top student from each campus will win incredible prizes and advance to The Great Finale on Wednesday, 28 August, live on The Great Drive with Kyeezi at the SABC’s Sea Point Auditorium, says the radio station.
Two online finalists and the three campus winners will all be announced on-air and on social media, and then, in what promises to be a riveting final in front of a live audience — and streamed on all social media platforms — they will all go head to head in one final challenge, before the ultimate winner of the 2024 Good Hope FM Campus Presenter Search is announced live on the show, says Good Hope FM.
Good Hope FM and 5FM PCS combo business manager, Masixole Mdingane said the program is one of the ways the station aims to discover, nurture, and showcase Cape Town’s original young talent.
“Our listeners are at the heart of everything we do, and we are looking for individuals who share our passion for providing entertaining and engaging content — impacting and moving our audience in a BIG, positive and meaningful way,” Mdingane concluded.
