The station’s managing director, Lloyd Madurai has put the programming of the station in the hands of its listeners with the launch of a survey that would provide listeners the chance to be heard by the station, as it switches to being Hot 1027.

“We have spent the past six months building a good, solid foundation for the sound of HOT 102.7. But we believe that, with your help, we can make HOT 102.7FM a great station,” says Madurai said.

The managing director challenged the listeners to take the radio’s check-up survey and to make the switch to the new Hot 1027.

The radio check-up is a survey of what listeners really think about the radio stations. The online survey will run for a period of eight weeks and comprises questions about music preferences, programming content, favorite presenters, charity initiatives, and the listeners’ opinions on how radio can be made better for them.
