"We also want listeners, especially young people across the world, to text, email and phone us and use the 主播大秀 to talk with each other and be a part of this global dialogue."

Bondo Ntuli, Y FM's Programme Manager, said: "Y FM is a groundbreaking urban radio station. We have set many trends over the years which is why we are now the country's most popular youth station. For many young South Africans we define youth culture.
