Smile 90.4FM in Cape Town, South Africa, has announced a decision to play more music from the 1980s on weekdays.

Highlighting the importance of the decade, the station says it has considered to allocate more airtime to it.

While 1980s may be just a decade, the station noted that for some, it was a time of some of the best movies, TV shows and fashion of all time.

“One aspect that stands the test of time, and throughout any decade, is the music,” the station revealed. It also added, “The 1980s brought us music that could be identified with just one line — music that still resonates today because of the emotion in the voices, its creativity. [It was] a decade of music that was unapologetically fun and one we unashamedly loved, and still do.”

The station’s program manager, Naveen Singh said “the 1980s is undoubtedly the greatest musical decade and no other radio station in Cape Town plays more 1980s music than Smile 90.4 FM.”

Singh said the station will dedicate at least 50 minutes of non-stop music on week days, and more on weekends.

“Every weekday from 09:00 to 15:00, we will be giving you 50 minutes of non-stop music while you work — now with even more of your favorite 1980s,” he said.
