Venecia Valentine

Good Hope FM has unveiled its 2026 on-air line-up, keeping changes minimal while reinforcing its role as Cape Town’s trusted lifestyle station. The refreshed schedule focuses on consistency, familiar voices and a sound that reflects the rhythm and culture of the Mother City.

The strategy is clear. Build on what already works while adding targeted updates that strengthen connection with listeners across the Western Cape.

Familiar Voices Return

One of the biggest highlights is the return of Mishka Loesch to The Roger Goode Breakfast Show from 06:00 to 09:00. Her comeback restores the chemistry of a well-known team, bringing back a voice many listeners connect with during their morning routine.

Afternoons also see the return of Morgan Newman to The Great Drive from 15:00 to 18:00 as sport presenter. His insight adds a strong local perspective to Cape Town’s sports conversation.

A Fresh Energy in the Evenings

Evenings bring one of the most notable updates. Stephanie Be returns to the station after more than a decade at 5FM. She will host Late Nights with Stephanie Be from Monday to Thursday, 21:00 to midnight.

The show focuses on relaxed listening. Expect a mix of chilled music and conversation designed for winding down at the end of the day.

Sundays also get a refresh with Michaela Muller hosting After Hours from 22:00 to 01:00. The show offers a softer, reflective close to the weekend while setting the tone for the week ahead.

Strengthening Weekend Sport

Saturday mornings see Lorenzo Darries step in as producer for Play-By-Play, hosted by Morgan Newman. This update strengthens sports coverage with sharper production and a deeper focus on local stories.

A Line-Up Built on Trust

According to Masi Mdingane, Business Manager for Good Hope FM and 5FM, the approach for 2026 focuses on stability and connection.

The station continues to invest in familiar personalities, strong storytelling and a sound that reflects Cape Town’s identity.

What Listeners Can Expect

The 2026 line-up keeps the station grounded while adding subtle upgrades.

Listeners will notice:

• Stronger continuity across shows
• Familiar presenters returning to key slots
• A more refined evening and weekend offering

The goal stays simple. Deliver a reliable, engaging radio experience that fits into daily life across the city.
