Hectic Nine 9 producer, David Stein said the show has been a historic stepping stone for presenters starting out in the industry.
“There are over 2.5 million people in South Africa tuning in to the show each day and so building a lucrative profile is inevitable,” said Stein.
Stein added that aspiring presenters should come prepared, not forgetting to be themselves: “Prepare yourself to deliver a link. A link is no longer than 15 seconds. It needs to be delivered slowly and in an engaging way that shows your personality - do not try be too serious or contrived - they want to see you, the real you.”
