Your career in radio has been exceptional to watch. What made you fall in love with the medium?

“The moment I auditioned to be on campus radio in January 2000 I fell in love with radio. It was campus radio and we would only broadcast to the RAU (now UJ) student center. Despite the low audience numbers, I loved every minute of it and it really introduced me to the ins and outs of the radio industry,” shares Carol Ofori.

Carol Ofori says that she guess radio is still so powerful because it’s immediate.

“I think that now, more than ever, people really want news and information – and radio is the quickest way to get it. While social media is certainly disrupting the scene, we all know how much fake news is on social media and it’s something that can get expensive because of the price of data in the country so I think that is why radio remains reliable for South Africans,” expresses Carol Ofori.

Being on a coveted morning to noon slot on Radio 2000 for two months, Carol Ofori’s highlight is the fact that she started the new show at an unprecedented time of a pandemic.

“Well, I started this new show at an unprecedented time of a pandemic so this new journey has been a time filled with news, anxiety but also celebration. The real euphoria for me is just the show in its entirety. I am having the time of my life on the show and I am happy to see that my audience is connecting with me as well. I think forming a connection is something that every radio presenter hopes to achieve with their audience and seeing that come to life on Radio 2000 has been a dream come true,” she explains.

In terms of what attracted her to Radio 2000, Carol Ofori says that the station is national and she loves the music at the station.

Explaining further she says: “I also get to create content I have always dreamed of doing like covering African stories in the African connection and taking a moment to be thankful with my Thankful Monday feature. That allows us to play gospel music and be grateful for everything in our lives which makes the audience sit back and be thankful for everything that is going on in their lives.”

Radio 2000 has such a rich history. Why do you think listeners continue to tune into this particular radio station?

“It has evolved from where it started so I think listeners love the direction the station is going – which is giving listeners a nostalgic experience of radio and music. Like the pay-off line says “Our music, your memories” and this approach has proved to be working,” Carol Ofori explains.
