Information

Good Hope FM operates as a commercial regional public-service station broadcasting from Sea Point, Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa on 94.0 to 97.0 FM and DAB+ 13F. Owned by the SABC and launched on July 1, 1965, it is Cape Town's oldest commercial FM station. It covers the Western Cape with a Contemporary Hit Radio format in English for urban listeners aged 18 to 34.

The daily schedule features core programs like The Roger Goode Breakfast Show and The Great Drive.

Why tune in? Good Hope FM links global tracks with local street culture. The playlist pairs international hits with local Amapiano and Hip-Hop, featuring artists like Tyla and Kabza De Small. Audience data from BRC RAMS Amplify shows 500,000 to 650,000 weekly listeners. The station also earned 2024 SA Radio Awards nominations for Station of the Year and Best Breakfast Show Presenter.

Heavy commercial ad loads during peak drive times test listener patience. Corporate SABC management shifts also spark occasional criticism.
