Press Statements

OFM is trots om aan te kondig dat ons 100% Afrikaanse aanlynstroom, OFM Stasie2, sy eerste aanbieder aangestel het.

From Monday 3 October 2022, lunchtime on OFM will sound a little different… That’s because Pulane Nel-Sekepe, previously known to OFM audiences as a presenter on The Real Good Weekend on OFM on Saturday afternoons, steps into the role of At Lunch presenter from 12:00 to 15:00, Mondays to Fridays.

OFM, the sound of your life, lends its voice to “One Festival, Many Stories” by coming on board as a media partner of Central South Africa’s premier arts festival, the Vrystaat Arts Festival.

This arts festival takes place on the University of the Free State’s Bloemfontein campus from Sunday, 2 October to Saturday, 8 October 2022.

OFM, the Sound of Your Life in Central South Africa, has “again signed” as a media partner and sponsor of Central South Africa’s domestic cricket team, the Knights, for the 2022-23 South African domestic season.

While sales of the OFM # BakkieArm sleeve steadily progressing for the benefit of the Agri Securitas Trust Fund, The Sound of Your Life also had listeners entertained on the morning of 15 June 2022, with the release of an original song in celebration of the # BakkieArm.

What on earth is a #BakkieArm? 

What started with ‘Word of the Week’ is now Central South Africa’s latest fashion trend, all for a good cause.

The OFM Good Morning Breakfast, weekdays 06:00 – 09:00, recently entertained listeners with their weekly riddle – ‘Word of the Week’ – during which a novelty word is revealed to the audience, and they then have to guess what it means.

African Media Entertainment (AME) has a deep history with radio and the business of radio in South Africa. As a company with a keen interest in audio development, AME recognises the power and value of audio. With changes in technology, on-line audio consumption is a growing phenomenon and caters for listeners looking for a specific audio journey both in real time and on-demand.

In 2020, OFM asked Central South Africa to “Show us your recipes!” Now, as the world slowly shifts back to a more ‘normal’ post-pandemic state, we asked listeners to share their most memorable travel experiences.

The end product: The Real Good Travel Book – a collection of memorable travel experiences from OFM’s listeners and presenters.

As part of OFM’s goal of turning 2022 into #Twenty20You, another lucky listener was rewarded with a significant prize.

OFM’s Real Good Travel Book competition with Hinterland and Hinterland Fuels formally ended on 30 March 2022 with the awarding of the grand prize of R15 000 to the winner.

The OFM team surprised 33-year-old Mari le Roux from Hartbeesfontein in the North West at her workplace in Klerksdorp with a huge cheque.

OFM alumni continue to make strides in Central South Africa.
