Of course we can because the platform was officially launched to guests on March 22.

Jerry’s Café played host to the launch of the online streaming radio station, which aims to be the mouthpiece of Benoni residents and the platform for the town and its people’s stories.

“Within the first 13 to 14 days since the launch on March 1, we have had about 98 000 streamers,” said Paul Rotherham, who was the MC for the evening.
Rotherham, in conjunction with Caxton Local Media, launched Caxton Radio Benoni on March 1.

Rotherham said the dream of having a live streaming radio station was started eight years ago, and he thanked Caxton employee Clyde Meela for helping to make the dream a reality.

He also spoke to businessmen and women who were guests at the launch.
“Caxton Radio will help your businesses,” he said.

Caxton Radio is running a trial of three months in Benoni and will then be rolled out in five other regions.
“Caxton Radio will not play the same 400 songs over and over,” Rotherham assured guests.
“… When you speak to the community you can find the most extraordinary stories.”
