It’s about to get cold on East Coast Radio as one of the hottest presenters on the slot, Phat Joe, is exiting the station.
You heard that correctly, Phat Joe is leaving East Coast Radio. The presenter, who spent only one year at the KZN based radio station bids farewell to the drive show “due to a variety of exciting new commitments outside of KZN.”
Joe joined the station in 2016 after bidding farewell to his Metro FM breakfast show, taking over the drive time slot. According to a press statement the presenter along with the radio station came to mutual agreement not to renew his contract.
“Phat Joe has contributed substantially to East Coast Radio in his Drive presenter, but his demanding schedule has put undue pressure on him,” it reads.

East Coast Radio programming manager Zane Derbyshire says: “Phat Joe is one of the most respected entertainment personalities in South Africa, and while the relationship has ended sooner than we would have liked, we understand the demanding nature of his new projects. At the same time the Drive show is one of the flagship shows on the station and requires the full-time dedication of its host in Durban. We would like to wish Joe all the success with his new ventures, which he will be launching soon. He remains a friend of East Coast Radio.”
According to the station, a new Drive Time host will be announced soon.
Wishing you all the best Phat Joe!
