About Us

Who we are

HOT 102.7FM is Johannesburg’s newest commercial radio station, broadcasting to the greater Johannesburg area, with the station’s music format of the very best ‘Old Skool’ and R&B complemented by a line-up of some of South Africa’s best-known and loved radio presenters – most of them legends of the South African radio industry. 

That mix of the best music and the best DJs makes for entertaining, easy listening, and when combined with amusing and compelling content, and accurate news, sport and traffic information, the end result is a winning formula and the best radio station around! 

Listeners can look forward to plenty of music from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, less talking from the DJs, more chances to win cash and prizes via on-air competitions, more feel-good stories in news bulletins, and more CSI initiatives and support for charities.  

HOT 102.7FM also plays a prominent role in the community through the HOT Cares non-profit charity initiative, which aims to make a meaningful difference to the lives of those in need. The station also contributes to the growth and continued success of the South African radio industry through the HOT Radio Training Academy, which provides a training programme that upskills and equips future radio industry professionals.  

HOT 102.7FM transmits on FM, on DStv Channel 822, and streams online via www.hot1027.co.za
