The updated schedule aims to build on HOT 102.7FM's formula: great music, credible voices and shows that feel as relevant as they are entertaining. It's a line-up that aims to reflect the rhythm of listeners' daily lives from the morning commute to the evening wind-down, says the station.
Weekdays That Work Harder for Listeners
Weekday mornings continue to kick off with HOT 102.7 Breakfast with Parky, Bunny and Simon (05:30 to 09:00), aiming to deliver a dynamic mix of humour, conversation and the biggest hits to start the day right, says the station.
Mid-mornings are spent with Rob Vega (09:00 to 12:00), followed by Ursula Chikane (12:00 to 15:00), keeping the momentum going through the workday.
Afternoons start with HOT 102.7 Drive with Ian F (16:00 to 18:00), alongside Natasha Thorpe (news) and John Walland (sport). It aims to be a combination of experience, chemistry and on-air presence that brings new momentum to one of the station's biggest dayparts, without losing the familiarity listeners value, adds the station.
Evenings aim to balance insight and entertainment with HOT Business with Jeremy Maggs (18:00 to 19:00), before HOT Classic with Carolyn Steyn (19:00 to 22:00) aims to sets the tone for a relaxed night. The station's HOT Classic music continues overnight.
Fridays with a Twist
Fridays aim to follow the same high-energy flow but with one key addition: HOT Sport 60 with Dylan Rogers (18:00 to 19:00), giving sports fans a dedicated hour to wrap up the week before easing into the weekend, says the station.
Weekends That Feel Like a Treat
Saturdays aim to be all about great company and great music, with Sasha Martinengo (06:00–09:00), Tony Murrell (09:00–12:00) and Patrick Hayworth (12:00 to 15:00) leading into Club Classics with Steve Bishop (15:00 to 19:00), a celebration of dancefloor favourites, says the station.
Sundays aim to introduce a gentle, meaningful start with Sunrise with Shona (06:00 to 06:30), followed by a line-up including Patrick Hayworth, Tony Murrell and the HOT 102.7 Classic Countdown with Steve Bishop (12:00 to 15:00). Alan Khan rounds off the weekend (15:00 to 19:00) before HOT Classic carries listeners into the night.
A Line-Up Built Around Listeners
The station says that this refreshed schedule is about refining what already works and enhancing the listening experience across every daypart.
"Our focus has always been on delivering a world-class listening experience rooted in consistency and authenticity," says HOT 102.7FM Founder and Managing Director. "This refreshed line-up strengthens what our audience already loves about HOT 102.7FM: great music and great personalities while ensuring we remain relevant, engaging and easy to listen to throughout the day."
HOT 102.7FM says it continues to focus on consistency, quality and connection.
