Phat Joe ditches Metro, joins East Coast Radio

After only a few weeks of losing Tbo Touch, Metro FM has lost another gem in Phat Joe after it was announced he joined the music station East Coast Radio on Monday. The station’s programming manager Zane Derbyshire shared on their website that he was excited to have Phat Joe on board.

“We are delighted to welcome Phat Joe to East Coast Radio’s daily lineup,” says Zane Derbyshire, programming manager. “At the station, we pride ourselves on our core of talented presenters who deliver world-class entertainment to our audience 24/7. The addition of a personality in the form of Phat Joe just takes us up another notch. We are looking forward to introducing him to our listeners from Monday.”

Known for tackling controversial topics and throwing shade when the need arises, Phat Joe also shared his excitement on his new venture.

“This is a really exciting opportunity for me. Not only will I get to chill in Durban, but I also get to interact with the cool listeners of East Coast Radio on a daily basis. I think we are going to have a lot of fun together, ” he says.

Durbanites could not hold back but to share their excitement too, and here is how they reacted on Twitter
