RISE fm, the leading commercial radio station in Mpumalanga, is excited to announce the launch of its talent search competition, ‘Take Your Chance’ aimed at discovering fresh radio talent in the region.
“RISE fm believes in the power and potential of new talent in Mpumalanga,” stated Lance Claasen, Station Manager at RISE fm. “With ‘Take Your Chance,’ we are opening our doors to ambitious individuals who aspire to establish themselves on Mpumalanga’s only commercial platform.”
Starting in April and continuing until the end of May, RISE fm will host the talent search during its weekend slots between 15h00 and 18h00. Aspiring DJs will have the opportunity to showcase their skills, engage with listeners, and carve out a name for themselves in the industry.
The winner of the talent search will be awarded a coveted commercial radio contract to host their own show on RISE fm.
“We are providing real opportunities for individuals to break into the radio industry,” Claasen emphasized. “Too often, talented individuals lack the chance to showcase their abilities. At RISE fm, we are committed to offering them that opportunity.”
