SABC radio stations to play 90% local music starting today
--:--
In an effort to ensure that local content reflecting the diversity of South African cultures is prioritised, the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) says it will play 90% local music across its 18 radio stations from Thursday. Local artists have long called for the percentage of South African music on community or public radio stations’ playlists to be increased. They argue that without radio airplay they are unable to grow an audience and as a result cannot sell records.
