S3 Locks in Official Premiere Date for Metro FM’s ‘Ask a Man’ TV Show

• Metro FM's popular Ask A Man radio segment is making the leap to television on S3, formerly SABC 3
• The TV adaptation will feature anonymous relationship stories submitted by South Africans, with hosts and experts weighing in
• Ahead of the anticipated premiere, fans will also find out who will be leading the juicy conversations on screen

Fans of Metro FM's beloved relationship segment are in for a treat. The Ask A Man feature, which has built a loyal audience, is officially making its television debut on S3, formerly known as SABC 3.

The channel confirmed in July 2026 that the long-running radio feature is being adapted into a full television show, giving the candid conversations about love, dating and modern relationships a much wider platform. Listeners have grown accustomed to hearing Somizi Mhlongo, Khutso Thaledi and Naked DJ (Quinton Masina) field real-life relationship dilemmas on air, and the TV version promises to deliver that same energy in a visual format.

What to expect from the TV adaptation

Rather than a straight copy of the radio format, the television show will lean into anonymous stories submitted by everyday South Africans. Hosts and relationship experts will unpack everything from situationships and break-ups to family conflict and marriage challenges, giving viewers a front-row seat to conversations that many recognise from their own lives.

SABC Video Entertainment marketing manager Dichaba Phalatse spoke to the show's purpose, saying: "As S3, we believe the most powerful conversations begin with real people and real experiences. 'Ask A Man' has already earned the trust of audiences on Metro FM by creating a space for honest dialogue around relationships and life's complexities."

Metro FM acting business manager Siyanda Fikelephi added that the segment had outgrown its radio slot over the years, describing it as a safe space where listeners could bring their most personal dilemmas and receive honest, unfiltered responses.
