Radio 2000's epic new line-up

Robert Marawa who was fired at Metro FM last year will now reign Radio 2000's weekdays sport show from 5-7pm. This radio star was released by Metro FM because he never pitched to his show in support of his show producer that was suspended for compiling another channel sound bit.

Twitter was buzzing after the news were confirmed. Marawa will take over from Andile Ncube who seemed unhappy about the news. Ncube will become sport newsreader for the station.

Metro FM approached Thomas Mlambo to take over from Udo and Mpho's shows that were not attracting needed listeners. Some believed that karma was about to hit Metro FM and the management led by Sbongile who is the station manager deserved what was onto their way.

Glen Lewis on his twitter page came gunning to Tbo touch after he was fired at Touch central. Lewis called Touch a coward that was scared to man up.Lewis joined Touch central last year after his resignation at Metro FM. This radio jock could not accept that Unathi Msengana was going to leave their show and join Khanyi Mbau's second segment breakfast show that was struggling to attract listeners.

SABC radio stations will be announcing their new lineups this upcoming week said it's spokesperson Kaizer Kganyago.
