Earlier this month, radio legend Nicole Da Silva ended of a decade-long chapter at youth radio station 5FM where she cemented herself as a leader in the radio space. Naturally, the star wasn’t planning on being off air for too long and today confirms that she will be taking over the lunchtime reigns on STARFM, who also recently announced Unathi Nkayi as its new drive-time host.
Nicole will take over from Mantsoe Pout and will host ‘The Silva Edition’ on weekdays between 12h00-15h00.
“I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the STARFM family,” Nicole tells us. “It’s such a fantastic team to be a part of, and I’m looking forward to incorporating my knowledge and expertise into this fresh new radio station. I’ve always had so much to say, and I now have a stellar platform to do so.
She adds “From the local music that we get to promote, to speaking directly to our wonderful community and working with such strong talent, to say that I am excited is a complete understatement.”
“One cannot help but acknowledge Nicole’s amazing talent,” says Caren du Preez, STAR 91.9FM’s Station Manager. “She is an exciting and brilliant broadcaster and when talent knocks, the doors to the STARS open! What can listeners expect? A non-judgmental, fun and engaging safe zone”.
Nicole’s first show on the station will be on 1 March 2022.
