5FM station manager Aisha Mohamed anounced in a press statement,their Lineup changes, which will take place from 1 April 2012.
DJ Sasha Martinengo will no longer be with 5FM as from 1st April 2012.
After 17 years on air and over 5000 shows, Martinengo leaves the station .
Mohamed explained in a press statement.
He also mentioned that:
"We are enormously appreciative of Sasha's incredible work ethic, his dedication to the listeners and his support of the 5FM brand. The station, however, needs to evolve and change as our listeners do".
The station manager also mentioned that:
"Lineup changes are an unfortunate part of the radio landscape. Every year 5FM, along with the SABC's 17 other radio properties, evaluate their on-air lineup for the year ahead.
Comments from: Sasha
Martinengo (@F1sasha), "Working at 5FM hasn't just been a job; it's been my life. I'd like to think I have entertained my listeners over the years. I have had a brilliant time and will miss my 5FM family. Thank you for all the years of fun and support."
I am sure that Sasha will be greatly missed by every one who tuned into his radio shows, for the last 17 years.
Surely he enjoyed his "life" at 5FM as he calls it in his comment, that to him being with 5fm wasn't just a job but his "LIFE".
This statement is with no doubt, supported by his term with 5fm, almost two decades that is not just a term.
