She moved to 702 and CapeTalk in January this year, to co-host the weekend slot with Africa Melane, bringing over a decade of broadcast experience in both radio and TV. On the show, she will be able to balance her interests in lifestyle and popular culture with more serious news and current affairs issues.
Sam Cowen, who has been hosting this early afternoon slot since she joined the station at the beginning of the year, will join Africa Melane to co-host Weekend Breakfast on 702 and CapeTalk from 6am to 10am. Cowen joined from sister station 947 where she had been part of the breakfast show for 16 years.
"We have loved hearing Sam find her voice as the driver of her own talk show," said 702 station manager, Pheladi Gwangwa. "With her natural affinity for lifestyle and entertainment topics and her ability to have fun on air, we felt she was better suited to the weekend show and know she will bring her energy to our listeners each weekend morning."
"We constantly assess the sound of the station and believe that this change puts both of them into time channels that play to their strengths and will allow them to shine, and to deliver the best to our audiences."
