About station About 702 Johannesburg
702 (also known as Talk Radio 702) is a commercial FM radio station based in Johannesburg, South Africa, broadcasting on FM 92.7 and FM 106 to the greater Gauteng province. The station is also webcast via its website.
It claims to be Johannesburg's number one news and talk station, offering news, sport, business, and actuality programming, along with phone-in debates. The station was established in 1980, originally as a music station, before transitioning to a talk format in 1988. During South Africa's apartheid era, when media was heavily censored, 702 and Capital Radio 604 were notable as independent sources of broadcast news. The station is owned by Primedia. Until 2006, 702 was broadcast on the 702 kHz AM frequency. In March 2006, the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) granted the station two FM frequencies. A 12-month "double illumination" period followed, where the station broadcast on both AM and FM to manage the transition. The first FM broadcast took place on 24 July 2006, and the AM signal was shut down on 28 June 2007. 702's sister station is CapeTalk, a Cape Town-based talk radio station.
