An-ex Cape Talk producer (verified), who wishes to remain anonymous at this point, has given us the following information on the topic of FM listenership figures and the exorbitant prices mainstream radio charges its clients. This follows this morning’s article, entitled, “Ex-Primedia Employee Exposes FM Radio Listenership Methods.” My two cents on the listenership issue, […]
A recent comment by an ex-Primedia (KFM) employee under our article “South Africa’s Fundamentally Flawed FM Listenership” adds further fuel to the fire, with regards to the alleged exhorbitant prices charged by mainstream FM radio stations in South Africa. Prices based on allegedly dubious listenership calculation methods. Amod Munga, ex-Promotions Co-ordinator at Primedia Broadcasting had […]
It’s been a roller-coaster couple of weeks for 2oceansvibe Media. Just recently SuperSport picked up an online Rugby Show concept from us, along with the anchor that presented it; then Naspers also took our sales man – you can read about that here. And now Mail & Guardian are picking up stories from us! Suffice to […]
What you’re basically doing here is turning your iPad into a laptop. A buddy of mine bought one of these and he said to me that it “blew his mind.” So ja, there you have it! These things normally cost about R1,099 so you’re saving yourself a small fortune here – 45% to be exact. […]
2ov.fm decided to kick off the week with lovely musical vibes. Freshly Ground joined Just Josie in studio for a chat on what to expect from their new album, set to release later this year. Grabbing them as they left the recording studio, they performed an acoustic of the hot new track, “The Message,” which […]
I was chatting to my buddy Rob Cohen the other day and he told me that his wife Alice is 100% convinced that she is going to win the overseas billion Rand lotteries and that she buys tickets every week. So do I, I told him. So do all the positive people I know. Because […]
Dove are ready to announce their shiny new brand ambassador for the Dove Men+Care range. We’ve kept a sharp eye on this one. I mean, we all love a clean, well groomed guy, but a brand ambassador for a minimal fuss, absolutely-does-the-job product like Dove Men+Care needs to be manly, too, you know? So who […]
Because that’s EXACTLY what you’re doing when you don’t buy tickets to the overseas lotteries. We only play them when they go over a billion Rand. Which is now. The Megamillions lottery has rolled over again and Friday’s draw is now sitting at R1.13 Billion. It’s literally thirty bucks for one ticket. That is literally car […]

It’s tradition here at 2oceansvibe to enter the overseas lotteries if they hit the R1 billion mark, which is why there was a frenzy for a number of weeks back in January and February this year. You see the Powerball lottery rolled over a record number of times, finally reaching a total of $336 million […]
While this chap’s bill at Liverpool’s Playground nightclub included a R1.5 million bottle of bubbly, I am even more impressed with the 42 cans of Pussy energy drink which he included in that haul. Clearly the 2oceansvibe energy drink partner is held in the same high regard over in the UK. Check this story out. […]
It was a late summer’s afternoon in Johannesburg. I was dead on my feet. I’d been pounding the pavements of Jozi’s mean streets for a full eight hours, cashing checks and breaking necks. I was out of the car, and straight to my hotel room. Shoes off, aircon on full blast, lemon twist in hand, […]
With over 30,000 downloads of the 2oceansvibe Radio app on Blackberry phones alone, there are quite clearly a large number of you who would like to know about this special deal. I remember this deal came abotu in January and pretty much sold out. So if you missed that one, best you step up to the plate […]
I give credit when credit is due, and this you have to hear. You see just last weekend I was chilling with The Muse at the Mount Nelson pool (anyone can chill there, as long as you use the Labrisa Spa first – locals get a 25% discount) and we were enjoying some scones and […]
Hell hath no fury like some idiot on Gumtree scorned it seems, because this ad was posted a few days ago on the site by a jilted boyfriend seeking a little person to exact revenge on the heartless harpy who broke his heart. No, really.
Check it out my charnas! R1,774 is hardly any tin for a flight leaving Saturday evening to Cape Town and back the next night. But flights are limited so you better MOVE if you want to get this deal, my boet! You land – check your mates for a quick toot – eat some carbs […]
Just a heads up, gang. The US MegaMillions Lottery jackpot is sitting on $94 million (R700 million) and the draw is on Friday. You might want to get involved in that, seeing as it is just under the magical $100 million mark. Remember you can buy tickets to the MegaMillions from anywhere in the world […]
Oh, what sweet joys summer brings. Once again it’s that time of year when Café Caprice brings us their Annual Industry Volleyball Tournament. What could make a Saturday better than chilling on Camps Bay beach, in the sun watching Cape Town and Brazil’s beautiful people shaking it up in a game of volleyball? The tournament […]
Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier who leaked thousands of classified military documents, images and videos to Wikileaks has allegedly been nominated for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize. Is he the most controversial candidate, and who else made the cut?

I might have to attend a function next month, so I was checking out prices on 2ovflights.com. Because 2ov Flights compares prices, I was able to get the cheapest options to book. I thought I should let you know that the price given by Virgin Atlantic for my dates was only R6,275. Including taxes. That’s […]
For those of who who are still restricted to FM radio, you might find this news release interesting. Personally, I listen to international radio in my car (and you can too – look here). And as for my desk time, I’m like you – tuning in to 2ov.fm. After all, the majority of you don’t […]

According to our latest survey, 40% of our 2oceansvibe readers indulge in these elaborate spinning classes taking place on our roads – ie. ‘cycling.’ And so I felt it pertinent to mention this deal I found at Groupon, which gets you 51% off at (what is apparently) a popular online cycling shop, called buycycle.co.za. I […]
Do you wonder if you won one of the 10 X R500 Sunglass Hut Vouchers? Or one of the 5 X cases of Boschendal bubbly? Or one of the 5 X cases of De Grendel rosé? Or, better yet, maybe it was YOU who won the iPad 2, from Digicape? Winners were picked by a […]
When I first moved to Cape Town and thought about Constantia, my mind was filled with images of botoxed ladies who lunch, old money and a nest of well to-dos in a leafy green valley. I was aware of the historic importance of the valley, but details were scant. Today botoxed ladies who lunch still wonder about in my imagined view of the valley, but they are all sipping on excellent Sauvignon Blancs. Don’t miss the competition at the end of this column!
I have annual subscriptions to about 12 different magazines on my iPad 2 (get yours here).
