Nadine Blom, die geliefde sangeres, motiveringspreker en die brein agter die Supercool vir Jesus-handelsmerk, skuif op 1 April 2024 agter die mikrofoon in op Die Klank van Jou Lewe. Sy sal deel wees van die ontbytprogram, Good Morning Breakfast, elke weeksoggend van 06:00 tot 09:00, sowel as die Nuut in Afrikaans, elke Sondagaand van 19:00 tot 20:00.

Blom het reeds haar loopbaan as omroeper by BOK Radio in Kaapstad geslyp en het onlangs die weeksoggendprogram van 11:00 tot 13:00 aangebied.

Verlede jaar het sy ook ’n nuwe treffer, Nuwe Liefde, uitgereik wat lof toegeswaai is, terwyl sy ook twee dekades in die musiekbedryf gevier het.

“Alles het ten goede meegewerk vir Nadine om by die OFM-familie aan te sluit. Sy sluit aan by Shandor Potgieter, Margaret Whitfield, en John Walland – wat ’n kragtige ensemble! Hierdie viermanskap gaan beslis nie teleurstel nie,” vertel Tim Thabethe, OFM-programbestuurder. “Ons sien uit na Nadine se sterk teenwoordigheid wanneer ons vroegoggend met die ontbytspan wakker word.”

“Ek sien uit daarna om terug te wees in my geboortedorp en om die kontrei se mense te leer ken by OFM se buiteuitsendings en aktiwiteite waar ons uitsaai. Ek sien ook baie uit daarna om elke oggend deel te wees van almal se lewe,” vertel Nadine.

Blom het haar meestersgraad in Internasionale Reg aan die Universiteit van Johannesburg voltooi en is ’n ywerige kampvegter vir menseregte. Sy lewer gereeld landswye toesprake oor kuberveiligheid en die gevare wat sosiale media inhou.

Sy het twee Sama-toekennings (South African Music Awards), ’n Ghoema-toekenning, ’n Bokkie-toekenning, drie Afri-Indie-toekennings en ’n Flam Toekenning verwerf vir haar bydrae tot die Suid-Afrikaanse musiekbedryf en goue status verwerf met etlike uitreikings.

Gedurende 2003 debuteer Nadine by die KKNK met haar volwasse debuutproduksie en CD, “Veer”. Duette is een van Nadine se passies en deel sy met die jare die verhoog met stemme soos Andre Schwartz, Jannie Moolman, Rina Hugo, die Afro Tenors en Sibongile Ngoma. Nadine identifiseer gedurende 2008 ’n behoefte aan “Afrikaanse tween-popmusiek” vir kinders en stel sy ’n DVD en CD getiteld Supercool vry in 2009.

Haar enkelsnit Nuwe Liefde (geskryf deur Hunter Kennedy, Janie Bay en haarself) kondig haar 20-jaar-viering in die musiekbedryf aan. Nuwe Liefde is bekendgestel tydens Oktober 2023 en toer sy dwaroor Suid-Afrika om haar 20-jaar-herdenking in die musiekbedryf saam met haar aanhangers te vier.

Die stasie het ’n ongelooflik lojale en ondersteunende gehoor. OFM se luisteraars bring van die meeste tyd wat luisteraars in Suid-Afrika deurbring om radio te luister in ons geselskap deur. Dit word bereik deur die stasie se gepaste musiekaanbiedinge – luisteraars kan hul gunstelingliedjies op die Request Network versoek en op Saterdae kan hulle inskakel om saam Sentraal-Suid-Afrika se 30 grootste treffers op die Central SA Top 30 af te tel.

Sport lê OFM-luisteraars na aan die hart, en dit is wat baie Sentraal-Suid-Afrikaners bymekaar bring. Die stasie is ’n trotse vennoot, borg en ondersteuner van die Cheetahs-, Griekwas- en Luiperds-rugbyspan, asook die Knights-, Heat- en Dragons-krieketspanne. OFM is daartoe verbind om die regte goeie lewe te lei, en terselfdertyd Sentraal-Suid-Afrikaners te help om hul beste lewe te lei.
