Listeners take charge of Smile 90.4FM

Radio stations traditionally talk to their listeners. Smile 90.4FM, however, has done things differently.

They reached out to their listeners to ask:

  • How have your lives changed?
  • What are your expectations?
  • How can Smile 90.4FM be better for you?

Listeners wanted more of their favourite music, songs to sing along to, an entertaining breakfast show, news that impacts their lives and more chances to win more prizes.

Not only did Smile 90.4FM listen, it also acted by making five fundamental improvements namely:

  1. 50 minutes of non-stop music every hour (weekdays 9am–3pm)
  2. Guaranteeing 20% more fun and entertainment in Smile Breakfast with Bobby and Lindy
  3. More of the songs listeners love and sing along to
  4. All the news you need to know now, every hour and on all social media
  5. Winning made easier, more prizes and more winners

“A great radio station is one that listens to its audience and Smile 90.4FM has done just that. We have remained innovative and implemented these changes to make an even better station for Cape Town,” said programme manager Naveen Singh.

“In this ever-changing environment we live in, the only constant is change. The need to be innovative and creative and constantly exceed our listeners’ expectations is paramount,” said Smile 90.4FM managing director Lois O’Brien.

Smile 90.4FM made better by you.
