DJ Fresh is getting ready to launch his radio station, and we finally have a date for when that'll be.

DJ Fresh reveals update about his radio station

Months after DJ Fresh revealed that he would be starting his own radio station, we finally have an update on how things are progressing.

The Big Dawg and his team are currently busy with the rollout for their station, 938 Under Construction, and it looks like it's in full swing.

Taking to his social media pages, Fresh said they have been working on what he described as their "passion project," which officially goes live on Mandela Day, 18 July 2025:

"For the past couple of months, we have been busy with a passion project, building a radio station WE would listen to."

Not only that, but the radio personality also gave fans and future listeners a taste of what to expect by allowing them the opportunity to listen to his first show, 938 Fresh Breakfast, for one day only on 1 July, live from Epicure in Rosebank.

Previously, Briefly News shared a clip of Fresh and Unathi Nkayi announcing their new station to the world.

Unathi, who was previously fired from Kaya 959, has not been on radio since her drama with Sizwe Dhlomo and the station erupted.

She also features in the pictures on the new station's website, and previously said their station was like no other:

"If you loved the quality of the radio we did, you're gonna love the next level even more. "

Here's what fans said about DJ Fresh's announcement

DJ Fresh reveals why Metro FM fired him

In an earlier report, Briefly News shared online reactions to DJ Fresh's revelation about why he was fired from Metro FM.

In an interview, the radio jockey spoke about his suspension and that he was found guilty by the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA) for contravening its code of conduct by using an unsavoury word:

"I was fired because I refused to apologise for using the word. I wasn't fired for the word; I was suspended for it."
