Tshwane FM broadcasts on 93.6 and is a campus station, which shapes how you reach it: the published routes are two mailboxes and a single telephone number labelled for complaints. There is no studio request line on the contact page.
Tshwane FM contact details
- Complaints: +27 12 382 4650, dialled locally as 012 382 4650
- General enquiries: [email protected]
- Advertising and sales: [email protected]
- Support hours: Monday to Sunday, 09:00 to 17:00
The seven-day support window is unusual and useful: a weekend query gets answered, which is rarely true of a commercial station. Note that the only published number is labelled for complaints, so a general question is better emailed than phoned.
What to send where
Advertising, sponsorship and outside-broadcast enquiries go to sales. Programming feedback, corrections, story tips and general questions go to the general mailbox. A complaint about something broadcast goes to the number above, and should be in writing as well so that there is a record with a date.
Getting music or a story on air
Campus stations are among the more accessible in South Africa for new artists and for community stories, but the approach still matters. Send a short pitch to the general mailbox with the show you think it fits, rather than a mass mail. Attach nothing large: a link is better than an attachment for a station running on limited storage. The site publishes its weekly show line-up, so name the show.
Complaints about broadcast content
If a complaint to the station does not resolve it, broadcasting complaints in South Africa go to the Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa, and matters about licence conditions go to ICASA. Both are independent of the station, and both expect you to have raised it with the broadcaster first, which is why keeping a written record of your original complaint matters.
A note on the newsroom
Tshwane FM runs its own news desk with bylined student journalists covering Tshwane council, national stories and campus affairs. If you are a source or a subject of a story, deal with the newsroom through the general mailbox and ask for the reporter by the byline on the article. Anyone contacting you claiming to be from the station should be verifiable by calling the number above.
The station also publishes podcasts and an app, and it describes itself as South Africa Campus Station of the Year for 2025.
