"Dj Sbu is more of a Saturday afternoon METRO FM DJ. R2000 was just too serious and mature for him. I hope R2000 gets someone who's more aligned with their brand and mission and knows how to cater for their market. DJ Sbu must go rescue YFM 6 am-9 am slot. Tap left and it collapsed."

"Finally it was long overdue."
