South Africa: Three New Radio Licences Issued http://allafrica.com/stories/200704260343.html
April 26, 2007 Posted to the web April 26, 2007 Thom Mclachlan Johannesburg RADIO listeners in Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and North West provinces will soon have access to a new commercial radio station in each province following an announcement of three new licences by the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) yesterday. The regulator said the secondary radio market would be boosted by three new stations -- Capricorn FM in Limpopo, M-power in Mpumalanga and Radio North-West. Africa 2007 The Limpopo province's consortium, Capricorn FM, was led by MSG Africa's Given Mkhari, who is chairman of Jupiter Drawing Room. "Secondary markets across the country have not had a commercial radio player in their markets and Limpopo in particular is the fastest- growing of these," Mkhari said. The mostly English-language station would reach a potential 1,5-million people and planned to launch on September 1. M-Power is 25% owned by AME and 50% owned by Direng Investments and Mbombela JV. Direng investments is a 25% investor in both M-Power and Radio North-West. Radio North-West's project manager, John Nassel-Henderson, said the radio station would be in a gospel format as this worked best with the target market.

M-Power's project leader, Alfie Jay, said the radio station would be adult-contemporary and would compete against Jacaranda FM for listeners in the region. He said there was "huge potential in Mpumalanga", with a conservative estimate of 800000 potential listeners. http://zlgr.multiply.com (raidio monitoring site plus audio clips ) http://www.worldisround.com/articles/302315/ (Litohoro) 321199/Tinos http://www.flickr.com/photos/zachgr pictures upload . on my main : www.geocities.com/zliangas -tty-px.html : test of various TTY programs -ethics.htm : greek ethics , days and institutions -frape.htm: the greek way of cofee !!!
