Veteran sportscaster Robert Marawa has joined Primedia’s 947 as a host and he announced the news on Monday.
The former SABC and SuperSport television sports host is excited to bag this lucrative opportunity with the Johannesburg-based station.
According to EWN, CEO for Primedia Broadcasting Lindile Xoko signed an exclusive deal with the legendary sports commentator for his acclaimed sports show, Marawa Sports Worldwide (#MSW).
It is announced that the show will start on February 01, and it will be on air on weekdays, Monday to Friday, from 6pm to 7pm.
The celebrated sports presenter will be joining forces with 947 for his sports commentary, much to the delight of sports fans across the nation and beyond.
“I am delighted that Primedia has joined forces with Robert Marawa who is recognised worldwide as a sports authority and is a respected broadcaster. The massive reach that the 947 audiences deliver to our clients is now complemented by us hosting Robert’s premier sports show,” said Xoko.
The popular sports programme will also be available on Vuma FM, Rise FM, SowetanLive, and on Primedia’s audio-stream and catch-up services and Marawa has reacted to the historic move.
“My move to Primedia is both historic and exciting in creating a wider reach for all MSW fans, especially for Gauteng residents, who have been complaining about being left out,” Marawa said.
“I’m grateful to both Arena and Primedia for seeing things in a futuristic manner by creating what will now be four unique platforms thus creating radio history with this unparalleled simulcast offering. With this move, we are raising the game for sports enthusiasts in SA and beyond. For me professionally, this is the best moment in my radio career.”
MSW will also feature behind-the-scenes stories of the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of sporting legends and new talent alike.
