The station's format is mainstream with programming constructed around a playlist of hit music from the 1980s, 1990s and now.
According to the latest official numbers from the South African Advertising Research Foundation [1] released in 2014, Jacaranda FM used to be the no. 1 station among Afrikaans home language consumers in Gauteng province, and one of the top 10 stations in the country.
