We\u2019re constantly evolving, constantly creating, and always looking for new ways to connect with our audience,\u201d said programme manager Phindile Ziqubu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c2026 is about being louder, bolder, and more fearless than ever before. And Y NOT?\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>As part of this evolution, the station is expanding beyond traditional radio with the introduction of digital-first content under its \u201cBeyond FM\u201d strategy.<\/p>\n<p>These shows are designed to tap directly into Gen Z conversations and interests.<\/p>\n<p>Among them is \u201cIt\u2019s an Uncool Show,\u201d hosted by Uncool MC, which promises an insider look into Amapiano culture and its growing global influence.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lerai will lead \u201cMoney Talks,\u201d a platform aimed at unpacking politics, finances and the socio-economic realities shaping young people\u2019s lives.<\/p>\n<p>On-air changes also form a key part of the shake-up. Karen Mthethwa steps into the mid-morning slot with \u201cThe Glow Up,\u201d airing from 9am to 12pm, taking over from long-serving presenter Xtremme.<\/p>\n<p>Evenings are getting a refresh too, with Barbara Moagi and Tulz Madala joining forces to host \u201cUncensored\u201d from 8pm to 10pm on weekdays.<\/p>\n<p>The duo replaces Dimpho Makgotho, who previously helmed the show for four years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe duo will be pushing boundaries and taking conversations to the next level. Expect bold takes, unfiltered opinions, and undeniable unmatched chemistry,\u201d the station said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Weekend programming has also been reworked, with DJ Sliqe and Roiii taking over Sunday evenings, while Munaka Muthambi hosts \u201cThe Rizz\u201d on Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#YFM #unveils #bold #lineup<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Roiii and DJ Sliqe YFM has officially revealed its 2026 programming lineup, marking a major reset aimed at capturing&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":53872,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53871"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53871\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":53873,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53871\/revisions\/53873"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
