Veteran South African sports broadcaster Robert Marawa has signed a deal with 94.7 which will see his show Marawa Sports Worldwide airing live on the station.
The 49-year-old is a highly respected figure in the world of local broadcasting and Primedia Broadcasting CEO Lindile Xoko expressed his joy at signing him to the station.
“I am delighted that Primedia has joined forces with Robert Marawa, who is recognised worldwide as a sports authority and a respected broadcaster,” Xoko said.
“The massive reach that the 94.7 audiences deliver to our clients is now complemented by us hosting Robert’s premier sports show.”
Marawa has called the move the “best moment” in his radio career.
“My move to Primedia is both historic and exciting in creating a wider reach for all MSW fans,” he said.
“I’m grateful to both Arena and Primedia for seeing things in a futuristic manner by creating what will now be four unique platforms, thus creating radio history with this unparalleled simulcast offering.”
“With this move, we are raising the game for sport enthusiasts in SA and beyond. For me professionally, this is the best moment in my radio career.”
