After a two-and-a-half year break, Kieno Kammies will mark his return to talk radio early next year when he returns to Talk Radio 702 and 567 CapeTalk.

Kammies will be taking over his former talk show – Talk at Nine – from Tom London, who is leaving the station to pursue other interests.

“Kieno is witty, quirky, irreverent and totally unique. He’s familiar with our ethos and the philosophy of Talk Radio 702 and 567 CapeTalk,” said Talk Radio 702 station manager, Pheladi Gwangwa. “He also has a passion for news and the talk format, so in essence we’re welcoming back our prodigal son.”

Kammies is excited at the prospect of once again hosting his own talk show. “I’m a journalist, so news and current affairs are in my blood. I gave music radio a go, but talk is really what I love, and what suits my personality,” he explained. “I’m really looking forward to it.”

Talk at Nine looks at the lighter side of life, without losing focus on the bigger news issues of the day. It is broadcast simulcast on Talk Radio 702 in Johannesburg and 567 CapeTalk in Cape Town each weekday night between 21h00 and 24h00. Kammies officially takes over the reins on Monday, 7 January 2007.
