Why OFM

OFM, the Sound of Your Life, is Central South Africa’s premier commercial radio station, offering a mix of music, news, and entertainment. The station celebrates 38 years in the broadcasting industry this year. OFM is part of the Central Media Group, with its head office in Bloemfontein.

The station serves the affluent SEM 7-10 economically active marketplace with a broadcast footprint across the Free State, Northern Cape, southern Gauteng and North West. OFM is synonymous with the people of Central South Africa and includes a full spectrum of listeners, from urban working moms and dads to corporate professionals, as well as rural communities and agricultural producers.

The station has an incredibly loyal and supportive audience. OFM enjoys one of the highest occurrences of time spent listening to the radio in South Africa. This is achieved by the station’s great music offerings – such as playing listeners their favourite songs on the Request Network and counting down Central South Africa’s 30 biggest hits on the Central SA Top 30.

OFM offers several niche features – including a dedicated agricultural programme with three additional agricultural news updates a day, as well as a dedicated business programme.

Sport is close to OFM listeners’ hearts and is what brings much of Central South Africa together. The station is a proud partner, sponsor, and supporter of the Cheetahs, Griquas and Leopards rugby teams as well as the Knights, Heat and Dragons cricket teams. OFM is committed to living the real good life, while at the same time helping Central South Africans to live their best lives.

OFM vier 38 jaar met THE 38

OFM vier hierdie Augustus met trots 38 wonderlike jare as die klank van Sentraal-Suid-Afrika. As ’n hartlike dankie aan ons luisteraars vir hul volgehoue ondersteuning, bied ons hulle die kans om groot te wen met … THE 38!

OFM soek 38 deelnemers om hul kennis te toets en mee te ding vir ’n groot prys van R38 000 in kontant! Dit is ons luisteraars se kans om hul algemene kennis te toets en ’n wenner te wees.

Om in te skryf moet luisteraars teen middernag op 7 Augustus as amptelike OFM-luisteraars registreer. Die 38 deelnemers sal tussen 12 en 14 Augustus regstreeks op OFM aangekondig word. Vanaf 15 Augustus begin die vasvra-uitdunrondes op die lug. Net die skerpstes sal deurdring. Die groot finaal vind op 23 Augustus plaas, waar een uiteindelike wenner met al daardie kontant beloon sal word!

‘Hierdie verjaarsdagveldtog sal wys hoekom radio steeds die medium is wat dit is’

“Om hierdie 38ste mylpaal in OFM se geskiedenis te kan vier deur R38 000 weg te gee, is ’n besonderse geleentheid. Die opgewondenheid van hierdie verjaarsdagveldtog sal wys hoekom radio steeds die medium is wat dit is, selfs ná 100 jaar van radio in Suid-Afrika,” sê Tim Thabethe, OFM-programbestuurder.

Sluit by ons aan om 38 jaar van musiek, herinneringe en pret te vier. Dit gaan ’n opwindende veldtog wees, en ons kan nie wag om te sien wie die uitdaging van THE 38 sal aandurf nie!

Waarom OFM

OFM, die klank van jou lewe, is Sentraal-Suid-Afrika se voorste handelsradiostasie, wat ’n verskeidenheid musiek, nuus en vermaak bied. Die stasie vier vanjaar reeds 38 jaar in die uitsaaiwese. OFM is deel van die Central Media Group, met sy hoofkantoor in Bloemfontein.

Die stasie bedien die welvarende SEM 7-10 ekonomies aktiewe mark met ’n uitsaaigebied wat die Vrystaat, Noord-Kaap, Suid-Gauteng en Noordwes insluit. OFM is sinoniem met die mense van Sentraal Suid-Afrika, en sluit ’n volle spektrum van luisteraars in, van stedelike werkende ouers, tot korporatiewe professionele persone, sowel as landelike gemeenskappe en landbouprodusente.

Die stasie het ’n ongelooflike lojale en ondersteunende gehoor. OFM se luisteraars spandeer van die meeste tyd wat luisteraars in Suid-Afrika spandeer om radio te luister. 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.

OFM bied verskeie nisprogramme aan – insluitend ’n toegewyde landbouprogram met drie bykomende landbounuusopdaterings per dag, asook as ’n toegewyde sakeprogram.

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-rugbyspanne, asook die Knights, Heat en Dragons krieketspanne. OFM is daartoe verbind om die waarlike goeie lewe te lei, en terselfdertyd Sentraal-Suid-Afrikaners te help om hul beste lewens te lei.
