It is quite a wonderful thing that OFM has been recognised by the Beeld Readers as one of their favourite radio stations in South Africa even though OFM only broadcasts in Central South Africa.

But with all the streaming platforms there are, it makes sense why the station has a strong following across the country.

CMG‘s CEO, Nick Efstathiou, applauds OFM, its team, and everyone involved and it is definitely something to celebrate.

“So we go to great lengths to ensure that our music and content presentation also appeals to Afrikaans and even touches on issues that are of specific importance to Afrikaans communities.

“In addition to having the news, entertainment and lifestyle content available on air and online in Afrikaans, OFM also takes the lead in regularly promoting fun campaigns and innovations in Afrikaans – recent examples include 'onsie' (a selfie of a group of people) and 'bakkie arm' (a sleeve that protects against the sun).

“Then there are also our programmes that are specifically dedicated to Afrikaans: Opstaan ensures that those who are out of bed early on weekends wake up to a 100% Afrikaans music offer, weekends 05:00 - 06:00; Nuut in Afrikaans offers listeners the latest Afrikaans music releases, Sundays 19:00 – 20:00; and OFM Stasie2, our free streaming service, plays your favourite hits online 24-7.”
