Karen Mthethwa Gets A Daytime Slot As YFM Revamps Lineup

Karen Mthethwa Gets A Daytime Slot As YFM Revamps Lineup. Karen Mthethwa is a true example of hard work paying off. She dropped out of a teaching degree at University of Johannesburg and set her goals on becoming a radio personality. After 8 years, she is here, as one of the best voices on radio.

Karen’s radio journey started in Sandton at Boston Media House through the Bonang Matheba Bursary Fund. Five years later, she started a fruitful relationship with YFM, when she joined the Switch Be The Next S3 Presenter Search. Her audition impressed many, and immediately she became a fan favorite. Karen went on to win, and she was rewarded with a 3-month contract at Y and an Acer Iconia M10.

Moving all the way to the top, Karen has just made it in YFM‘s newest lineup revamp. The media personality has just bagged a daytime slot with the youthful radio station. As per a statement issued by the station, mid-mornings are entering a brand-new era as the beloved Karen has stepped into the 9AM–12PM slot with THE GLOW UP, taking on a leading role and ushering in a fresh chapter for the show. Her arrival marks an exciting evolution, while the station bids a heartfelt farewell to Xtremme, a long-standing voice who has been part of Y’s journey for over a decade as he pursues other business. 

In the new lineup, DJ Sliqe and Roiii take the reins every Sunday evening from 7PM–10PM.  Munaka joins to host THE RIZZ from 5PM–6PM. Karma Karma Radio hosted by Shimza takes over Saturday nights 9pm – 10pm. On the other hand, DJ Zan-D and Dimpho Makgotho have left the station.
