    Why can't we livestream? Why doesn't LM Radio respond to listeners' questions? Arrogance? We'll be fogiven for believing (in the absence of any respopnse) that LM Radio doesn't care about listeners so long as advertisers keep paying. Could that be true?

    Lekker station and music, but please stop referring to hot/warm weather as 'good weather'. the planet is overheating, we are suffering from droughts in southern Africa. what we need is rain and more rain!

    Listening from Johannesburg almost daily. Listened from Namibia during the '60s and '70s when we were young and full of life and good music. LM Radio is still the best beat ever.

    On my car radio, on my portable at my desk and on my computer - the legendary LM Radio is ubiquitous. It is quite dangerous bopping around in my car and my office chair is taking a pounding. I love your playlist and your DJs are all knowledgeable. May you continue to grow throughout the region. I know pals in Durban are desperate for a decent radio station. Love you LM Radio.

    Lourenco Marques was one the finest places in the World. It could be again too. LM Radio allows some to revisit their glorious past and others to imagine how it was. Traditional format DJ's playing 50's to 80's sounds is just great. Listening in with great pleasure from Thailand.

    Live streaming via my laptop has been very bad the last 2 days. Keep on having multiple breaks in communication, even though I have a very strong Internet signal. Am I the only one complaining about this or are there other listeners experiencing the same problem?This is the first time I have experienced it being so bad. Regards Ron Schultz.

    The music list has changed for the worst since Sasha started doing the morning show. I prefer softer music early in the morning instead of heavy rock which he tends to play. Maybe he can be moved to later in the day.He sounds more like a 5FM broadcaster.

    Moved back to Jhb a year ago - started listening to Hot 91.9 cos they had all the old favs! Then they acted like little PC snowflakes and fired Sasha. So I started listening to Mix FM until they also started being political and playing modern junk. So glad to find Sasha on LM - Now I have a station to listen to! no politics, no idiotic PC brigades, just good old music! Rock On!

    Just discovered LM Radio is broadcasting again. My neighbours told me. I'm thrilled and yes, it is a throwback to my past too. I have abandoned 702 for LM Radio. Excellent choice of music on the whole, but I do notice a few tracks are repeated quite frequently.
