YFM live

YFM is a youth-focused radio station, with the Y in its name meaning precisely "Youth". It has an Urban Contemporary format, with music standing for 80% of its airtime, of which Kwaito, Hip Hop, and R&B take up the biggest share. Its music selection is at the discretion of its in-house team of DJs, and its Amapiano Hour with Amapiano mixes, every day at 6 pm, is particularly popular with the audience.

The remaining line-up of YFM consists of talk shows mainly focused on entertainment with a dash of the latest news and interactive competitions.

This station is also praised for its Y Academy initiative that provides radio training to young interns every year.

YFM broadcasts from Johannesburg using the frequency 99.2 FM and is also available on channel 859 on DSTv and via online live streaming.
