Radio Today, originally launched in 1996 by Peter Lotus and Bob Courtney as a community station for South Africans over 50, has evolved into a digital-first platform.

After declining due to weak localised coverage, it was revitalized in 2021 with a focus on internet and DSTV broadcasting. The station now primarily serves senior listeners (65+), offering companionship through music, talk shows, book readings, and curated content.

Presenters broadcast remotely using streaming technology, making operations flexible and cost-effective. Its audience spans globally, though most listeners tune in via DSTV. Programming balances diverse tastes across generations, aiming to keep older audiences informed, entertained, and connected throughout the day.
