Customer care and support options

Understanding when to call or write helps you resolve issues safely:

• Phone Enquiries: Calling the official SABC switchboard or on-air studio line is best for real-time interactions, such as live radio participation or urgent reception desk queries during standard business hours.
• Online Forms & Email: Submitting written enquiries through official web forms on metrofm.co.za or sabc.co.za is safer and more efficient for commercial proposals, prize claim documentation, and broadcast complaints. Written routes establish a clear reference trail for follow-up.

Essential Security & Scam Warnings

• Verify Official Sources: Unofficial directories, online comment sections, and social media posts often list outdated or fake phone numbers. Always double-check numbers on the official Metro FM website.
• Protect Financial & Personal Information: Metro FM and SABC representatives will never ask for your bank card details, online banking passwords, account PINs, or One-Time Passwords (OTPs).
• Beware of Prize Scams: Metro FM does not charge administration, delivery, or processing fees to release competition prizes. Disregard messages requesting money or bank credentials to claim a reward.

Complaints or escalation

If you have a concern regarding station content, presenter conduct, or unresolved customer support issues, follow the standard multi-step escalation path:

1. Contact Metro FM Internal Support First: Direct your query or complaint to SABC Audience Services or the Metro FM station management team in writing. Always keep a copy of your email, call log, and any reference number issued.
2. Allow Reasoned Response Time: Give the station reasonable time to review broadcast logs, investigate internal records, and provide a formal response.
3. Escalate to Regulatory Authorities: If your complaint involves broadcast ethics, hate speech, unfair comment, or regulatory violations, and remains unresolved by SABC internal channels, you may escalate the matter to independent industry regulators:
   • Broadcasting Complaints Commission of South Africa (BCCSA): Handles formal complaints regarding code of conduct violations on radio and television.
   • Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA): Regulates broadcasting licensing, compliance, and spectrum disputes.

Note: ContactDetails.co.za is an independent information directory and cannot submit, manage, or resolve complaints on behalf of Metro FM listeners.

To ensure station staff can assist you promptly, collect all necessary information prior to calling or emailing:
