History
[edit]Tshwane FM, originally launched as Top Stereo in 2004, began as a campus-based training platform for student broadcasters at the Tshwane University of Technology (TUT). Initially focused on providing practical experience to media students, the station gradually expanded its mandate and reach, becoming a fully-fledged community radio station that caters to the interests of a broader audience in the Pretoria region.
In 2010, the station underwent a significant rebranding and was officially renamed Tshwane FM[3], aligning its identity with South Africa’s capital city and embracing a wider community-based mission. Over the past two decades, Tshwane FM has grown into a dynamic and influential voice in the local media landscape, offering a vibrant mix of music, talk shows, news, and culturally relevant content[4].
With a strong commitment to community development, Tshwane FM actively partners with local organizations to promote education, health awareness, and youth empowerment. The station's programming reflects the diversity and energy of its listenership, blending entertainment with social impact.
Since 2023, Tshwane FM is led by Station Manager Tebogo Jacko Magubane, a seasoned broadcaster with over 20 years of industry experience[5][6]. Under his leadership, the station continues to innovate while staying true to its core values of community engagement, creativity, and inclusivity[7]. As CapCity’s No.1 community radio station, Tshwane FM remains a hub of local culture and a platform for emerging voices in the region.[8].

The station's content strategy is centered on relevance, inclusivity, and community empowerment, with a strong focus on topics that resonate with students, young professionals, and the broader Pretoria community.
Programming covers a wide range of themes, including entertainment, lifestyle, social justice, mental health, education, entrepreneurship, and politics.
