I stumbled on this radio station a few weeks back and I'm getting hoked.... no talk; just cool relaxing music... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

I also like the station after being told about them. The music is cool. You will know that you have arrived when money and time are not mutually exclusive "events" in you life!

I doubt it will stay in this form for long. They need to make money at the very least to cover their costs. So this is time for them to let you know they exist, hook you in then they start programming - and adverts!

@ Mpenzi i doubt it coz it has existed for a while and it has been running that way and again it sounds like it belongs to Radio Africa Group who already have another around 5 profitable stations so this could just remain that bila makelele.

I thought the station is Smooth FM. It is part of Radio Africa.

What is the name of Nyambane's new station? The Former metro FM? I saw some plus sized ladies advertising it a few days ago and thought this was it Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...

Passion? I gather its new niche is female listeners.

After all, they don't have to pay 6-figure salaries to presenters whose job is to interrupt the music with their annoying noise! Adverts are bearable; but if they bring in the presenters, you can be sure I will stop tuning in. They will have short themselves in the foot!

@Lolest. What exactly happened to Metro. Been checking on them and finding funny music, though I had seen the ads in the press which I didnt quite understand.

'Hard to say goodbye to Metro'. Could it have been because of revenues? Guess so as there were apparently very few advertisers with them which I would relate to their marketing sloppiness as opposed to a lack of potential- Reggae has one hell of massive fellowship. Talking of Ghetto Radio..........Tuff choice.... Great music but Kelele mingi sana. Almost unbearable..

And how are their financials compared to, say, KISS or CLASSIC or CAPITAL? My thinking would be that the FM radio market is overcrowded and to survive, one has to carve out a niche... small but clearly defined and loyal audience. That way you can charge the moon for ads without spending too much on attracting the audience. I was once a consultant for a business magazine that had a monthly circulation of about 1,000 copies, but their ad rates were higher than the Daily Nation (250,000 copies)... and advertisers used to book many months in advance, just to secure space!

I got hooked an year+ ago & its been a great listen, actually when I discovered it didn't have a name, just music....music. (send me ua wish list & I can get it played) Unconfirmed word is that RA wants to turn it to greekFM hosted by one gathoni wa mucomba! For venusFM...am still trying to find my way in there, no comments. There's bonoko & bonokonde hosts @ghettoFM-very funny characters though in a whole hour of sheng' u only understand about 15minutes, the rest remains ghettoish

Relax X FM has officially turned into a talk station. Anyone discovered any other music - not yet talk - radio station?
