South Africa’s first internet streaming radio station - 2Oceansvibe Radio - launched last night in Cape Town.

The brainchild of 2Oceansvibe founder Seth Rotherham and leading DJ Richard Hardiman 2Oceansvibe Radio will be broadcasting from brand new studios in the prestigious Cape Quarter development in Green Point.

Over 350 of Cape Town’s coolest attended the party with guest performances by Ice Cream and the Cocstix, Jack Parow and the talented cellist Carol Thorns.

The Cape Quarter rocked till well into the night and the general consensus was that the radio station would fill a void created by the formatted commercial radio stations.

Initially, 2Oceansvibe Radio will be broadcasting in the mornings from 8am with the Richard Hardiman Show but plans are well developed to extend this through the daylight hours with podcasts of the programmes repeated at night.

“We are being inundated by some major entertainment and sports name with ideas for shows’, said Programme Director Hardiman, ‘ and we hope to announce further additions to our schedule shortly.’

The station carries limited advertisements and has been well sponsored by some major brands keen to jump on to the streaming bandwagon early on.

‘With South Africa’s ever-increasing internet capacity, we are happy to be the local pioneers in what has become a radio revolution overseas,’ Hardiman added. ‘Listeners can log on via their PCs, mobile phones or with a special attachment in their car radios’.
