NIGEL Pierce, veteran radio Jock and broadcaster is back on radio after a hiatus of six years and he is already making his presence felt with pulsating sounds and sharp tongue comments that has his fans in a frenzy and distractors holding their breaths.

Pierce's energetic comeback

He hosts the Monday to Friday afternoon Drive Show on Heart 104.9 FM with Jamie-Lee Domburg, on traffic, and Jeremy Harris, on sport. I asked him a few questions on his new show.

You bring so much energy to your new show, you remind me of a solar panel (Lol). Is that the idea with the show: to be fast paced, energetic and pack a punch?

Radio hasn't felt alive in this town for years — it’s been on pause, just playing in the background. But real life isn’t background noise. It’s messy, emotional, and urgent. We're here to bring it back to the forefront, to start conversations that matter, and to talk honestly about what's keeping our listeners up at night. No filters, no fluff - just real voices and real issues.

Tell me about the new Nigel Pierce. What else is there to know about Brand Nigel Pierce?
