About 947

947 is Primedia Broadcasting's Johannesburg music station — contemporary hits, personality-led shows, competitions and entertainment coverage rather than extended talk. Where its sister station 702 is built around conversation, 947 is built around the city's commute.

That framing is deliberate and it runs through everything. Primedia positions the brand tightly around Johannesburg itself rather than as a national service, and the schedule is structured around breakfast and drive programmes aimed squarely at a metropolitan audience with a traffic report to worry about. News, sport and traffic inserts come from the Eyewitness News operation Primedia runs across its stations, which gives a music station a newsroom most music stations do not have.

The number is a frequency — 94.7 MHz — and unusually for a South African station, it is genuinely the frequency in the area it serves rather than one of several. A Gauteng metro licence needs far fewer transmitters than a national service, which is why 947 can use its dial position as its name and Metro FM cannot. Our guide to South African radio frequencies explains that distinction properly.

Since Primedia consolidated its digital properties, 947's live stream, podcasts and articles publish through Primedia+, the hub that also carries 702, KFM, CapeTalk and Eyewitness News; the former 947.co.za address redirects to it, and the same apps cover iOS and Android.

Choose 947 for the Johannesburg commute and current chart music with a local accent. For the same city with talk instead of music, 702 is the other half of the pair.
