    LM Radio as from the 1st of September.....is just not the same. LM Radio played the most beautiful songs right through the day and now it has changed completely. Very disappointing. I can understand that the ads is different and that is fine......but we all listened to this radio station for the nostalgic music.

    A lovely station I started listening to about a week ago. Great was my surprise today, when the presenter introduced herself as Tinky Pringle. Brought tears to my eyes with so many emotions. Tinky used to work with my mom, Ilona at the SABC many moons ago. She was a great friend to my late mom and very instrumental in my rearing during those years. Great to hear your voice again Tinky. Could you kindly play a Don Williams song in memory of my mom. Love Odette

    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?

    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.
