About the Show


016 FM is a South African television drama series which follows rival DJs at a beloved Vaal radio station threatened with closure.

To save their much-loved community radio station in the Vaal from closing, two polar opposite DJs prepare to compete in a radical, live on-air programme battle (Kwaal).

They know it will be a fight to reclaim the hearts of listeners and advertisers, but don't realise they will also have to oust a dangerous, shadowy syndicate that has infiltrated the station.

Mpho Sebeng stars as DJ Whiskey in his last role before his death in 2024.

His co-stars include Joseph Sedibo as DJ Tsietsi along with Nthati Moshesh, Sophie Ndaba, Sello Motloung, Katleho Mabote, Mapula Mafole, Noni Mafani, Mapaseka Koetle and Mbasa Msongelo.

In the series premiere, "SOS - Save Our Situation": When the closure of a struggling community station is announced, the staff decide to pit rivals DJ Tsietsi and DJ Whiskey against each other to see who can create the best line-up.

016FM is a Showmax Original and is produced by Tuelo Gabonewe and 2Go2 Media with executive producers Tuelo Gabonewe, DJ Lemonka and Kgalalelo Maota.

The series producer is Nolo Phiri and the series director is Luthando Mngomezulu.

The head writer is Julie Hall, with a writing team including Kanne J Puso, Thulani Cekiso, Refilwe Thobega and Tuelo Gabonewe.
