5FM BUZZ

VEMBER TO ADD VA-VA VOOM TO 5FM EVENINGS

POSTED BY ADMIN, MARCH 27, 2009 04:17 PM | PERMALINK | -6 VOTES

He’s just cycled the Argus for charity, and now DJ Rob Vember is riding into a new timeslot on 5FM, taking over weekday evenings between 7pm and 10pm from 1 April 2009.

Having built up a solid following during his weekend slot, Rob will soon be adding his characteristic zing to the sundowner show, from Mondays to Thursdays 7-10pm.

He will also take over the reins of the 5FM Top 40 on Sundays between 10am and 2pm, while Koula will move into the 2pm to 5pm slot on Saturdays and Sundays.

Koula’s new slot will be a home for highly lifestyle oriented, active listeners who always have their eye out for the latest competitions. In addition to this her participation in yet another Comrades marathon this year and her koula-than-a-cucumber sense of style is a good fit with 5FM’s lifestyle-focused weekend programming

Apart from Rob and Koula’s switch, the 5FM line-up remains largely unchanged, with Fix taking over the 10pm to 1pm Vinyl Frontier slot on Friday nights and Bongi now occupying both the Saturday and Sunday 1am to 4am slots.

From April, Angie Khumalo will be reading news on Grant and Anele’s 12 noon to 3pm show, with Kim Schulze doing the honours during Sasha Martinengo’s watch, weekdays between 9am and noon.

“5FM currently has a red-hot line-up and we don’t want to tinker too much with a winning combination,” says programme manager Vukile Zondi. “Rob has proved to be a valuable asset to the station and we are confident that he’ll waste no time in putting his personal stamp on his new timeslot.”

No doubt about it – Rob Vember is a go-getting individual who tackles every undertaking with verve and passion. He once broadcast for 126 hours and 15 minutes in a bid to set a South African broadcasting record, and recently he bungee jumped from the Orlando Towers in Soweto.

Earlier in March, not even gale-force winds could deter him and a determined 5FM team from tackling the Cape Argus Pick ’n Pay Cycle Tour to generate awareness for The Chaeli Campaign who work to mobilise children with disabilities – subjecting himself to a rigorous training regimen to prepare for the gruelling ride.

Expect the unexpected in Rob Vember’s new slots on 5FM, turning evenings in front of the radio into an event!

What on earth is happening to Vinyl Frontier?? How is Fix going to make up for what VF has to offer? And Mlu not occupying original house music? Why this?

Nooooo...... just when we get used to the 'new line-up' you change it yet again. Come on, man. Rob is cool but I also always look forward to Koula's show. Week nights just won't be the same without her

Yo guys at 5fm, if it ain't broken, DON'T FIX IT!!! You don't wanna change a winning formula?? Too late buddy you already did. The Vinyl Frontier: Pure House Music since 1995, Now where's it gonna go? You ous jus made a big flop up.

Fix probably is goin to have something special, they should only change Rob Vember's time slots. I do prefer it this way except VF should stay. I suppose there is too much dance music.

A change is needed ONCE IN A WHILE , but not ALWAYS! Do not adjust a good formula when it works, the result won;t be good.

17. POSTED BY ANONYMOUS, March 30, 2009 02:41 PM

I agree with Kemzo..

I'm concerned about the rock music scene, thats pretty much all. At least we have the dance stuff happening well.

Rob is cool but Koula is (and always will be) a legend to the nightcrawlers!!

Rob is the real va va va voooom DJ! Once you go dry, your hands and voice don't do the work of a hydrated person.

Pity Koula is moving to the weekend. In all honesty it's a wasted time slot with i'm sure (barring the early hour shows) a really bad listenership rating.

Not sure what Rob adds that Koula didn't.
Oh well.
