Good Hope FM Celebrates 50 Years

Good Hope FM on Afternoon Express

Guy McDonald, Sandra Rosenberg, Graeme White and Seano celebrate GHFM's 50th Anniversary in the loft.

As the first commercial radio station in Cape Town to reach the 50-year mark, Good Hope FM plans to celebrate for their entire ‘birthday month’ of July to honour this iconic achievement. The trailblazer SABC radio station has had listeners hooked with their fast paced, music and lifestyle centric programming and has paved the way for many in what is now a thriving radio industry in South Africa. The race to gain and retain listeners is never-ending and was brought about largely by the deregulation and liberalisation of broadcasting in the late 1990’s when commercial radio licences were granted to eight new radio stations, however Good Hope FM managed to survive and thrive and are still leading the way by continually reinventing themselves and responding to changing listener demands.

Radio personalities Guy McDonald, Graeme White, Sandra Rosenberg and DJ Seano spoke about what makes Good Hope FM so unique and what goes into their average day.
