OFM – THE SOUND OF YOUR SUMMER
The festive season is upon us and while most are looking forward to a few days of rest and relaxation, OFM - the sound of central South-Africa, will be going into overdrive! OFM will continue to spread happiness and make dreams come true in OFM’s Twelve Days of Goodness – changing lives in central South Africa. Our theme weekends will keep listeners travelling on those long, straight roads through central South Africa entertained.  In December, we celebrate the best of Irish singer-songwriter Ronan Keating.  Keating made his musical debut in 1994 as lead singer of the group Boyzone. He started his solo career in 1999 and released nine albums.  He is also a judge on The X Factor - Australia. Later in December, OFM goes old school to play the music of one of the biggest bands ever in music history - The Beatles.  They are the best-selling music artists in the USA, have had more number-one albums on the British charts and sold more singles in the UK than any other act and they topped Billboard magazine's list of the all time most successful "Hot 100" artists in 2008.
Throughout the festive season, OFM will continue to promote its "Driving while inTEXTicated?" campaign. The campaign has a new partner in the Association for the Physically Disabled (APD) who will present a few days of on the ground activation at the Loch Logan Waterfront in Bloemfontein. APD will ask shoppers to pledge not to text and drive while receiving donations and painting the thumb nails of those who pledge red.
OFM will officially launch the summer holidays and get a chance to meet those who travel through our province on Friday, the 19th of December when the station will broadcast from the all new Wimpy on the N1 South outside Bloemfontein. The Breakfast Special and Oppi Draadloos will broadcast live from the site, where OFM will encourage travelers to pledge not to text and drive.  The rest of the OFM crew will be on hand to wash windscreens, while kids get a break from the backseat on the OFM jumping castle. From Monday, 15 December OFM will look back to all the highlights on air throughout the year.  The Breakfast Special and Siesta will play out their best moments of 2014, while OFM News will recap The Year That Was.  As always, the music takes centre stage on OFM.  So from the 16th until the 25th of December, the best Christmas hits will ring through central South
