A new talk radio station, Power FM, is set to launch in Gauteng this year, according to a report on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“We are very confident,” chairman of Power FM, Given Mkhari, told the Business Day.<\/p>\n

“All of the strategic elements of the radio station’s programming will be revealed in a few weeks closer to the launch.”<\/p>\n

The English-medium, talk-based commercial station would aim to attract black urban listeners between 25 and 49.<\/p>\n

Power FM was awarded the last available FM radio frequency licence by the Independent Communications Authority of SA in 2011, Business Day reported.<\/p>\n

The station is owned by MSG Africa Investment Holdings, led by Mkhari, with stakeholders including Ndalo Media, led by Khanyi Dhlomo, and Zico, led by Sandile Zungu.<\/p>\n

The consortium also owns Capricorn FM in Limpopo which launched in November 2007 and has a listenership of more than 1.5 million.<\/p>\n
