OFM has earmarked 2023 as ‘showtime’ and has introduced voices to the lineup as of April 1. The station announced one of the additions as the return of an old favourite to augment the station’s classic pop offering on Sundays.

Christie Hansen, a well-known Central South African voice who also broadcasted on OFM for 17 years, moves in behind the mic on Sundays from midday-16:00, during Classic Sundays.

This program is a continuation of radio veteran Tony Blewitt‘s retro music offering from 09:00–midday.

Classic Sundays showcases seven hours of the best ‘classic’ pop tunes from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

OFM Nights, weekdays from 19:00–23:00, welcomes media personality, Ashmund Martin. Aside from his passion for radio and television, Martin is also an actor and singer.

Weekends from 05:00–06:00, Anny Bruyns promised she is ready to welcome early risers. Opstaan features a 100% Afrikaans music offering. She also brings fans the latest Afrikaans music releases on Sundays, 19:00-20:00, during Nuut in Afrikaans.

Sunday afternoon listeners can wind down with their favourite music during The All-Request Sunday, presented by Nikki van der Linde, 16:00–19:00.

This April, Michael Ndabandaba, the winner of the O-dition presenter search competition, joins the OFM team in Bloemfontein to commence his training as well.

“OFM is excited to present Christie Hansen, Nikki van der Linde, Ashmund Martin, Anny Bruyns and Michael Ndabandaba. The calibre of these five names carries with it a strong tradition of great personalities that have graced the airwaves across Central South Africa and how OFM continues to generate great talent for its listeners,” says OFM program manager Tim Thabethe.

“Radio remains one of the highest consumed media in the country and in the OFM broadcast region presenting a lineup that entertains and informs with great music and content, remains a priority,” Thabethe concluded.
