Good Hope FM has celebrated its 60th anniversary with a trio of ‘Live Since 65’ celebrations. The celebrations kicked off with an outside broadcast on Table Mountain on Tuesday, 1 July.

The station said select listeners joined Chad Saaiman and Carissa Cupido from The Lunch Club, from 12:00 to 15:00, live on Table Mountain.

A competition invited listeners to test how well they know Good Hope FM and its legacy, says the radio station.

On Thursday, 3 July, from 16:00 till late, the party continues at Community Chest, 82 Bree Street, where Kyeezi and The Great Drive, Celest Anthony and The Pulse, as well as a lineup of DJs — Masoodah, Kyeezi and Roger Goode — will broadcast live, celebrating with Good Hope FM’s commercial partners and two listeners, who can each win a set of double tickets to the event, adds the radio station.

Birthday Mash-Up 6.0

To close out the month, the station disclosed Friday, 25 July, will see the Birthday Mash-Up 6.0 — a full-day presenter shake-up across the station’s schedule where teams will “steal” each other’s shows.

Good Hope FM and 5FM’s business manager, Masi Mdingane said “Six decades of moving the Mother City in all the right ways is no small feat, but Good Hope FM is not just still here — we’re packing venues, pairing with amazing local and international acts, partnering with top brands and expanding to fresh and exciting platforms to increase our reach and impact even further. This birthday isn’t just a milestone, it’s proof that great radio evolves, connects and still brings the heat every day. ‘Live Since 65’ isn’t just a slogan — it’s the beat we dance to.”

The station has encouraged listeners to join the celebration and be part of Cape Town’s radio legacy.
