DJ Robin Stuart Vember attempts to set a new world record for the longest continuous radio broadcast by a single DJ. He breaks the South African record of 55 hours and then goes on to claim an unofficial world record, with a final time of 126 hours and 15 minutes on air (Guinness World Record authorities are still yet to make the record official). In the closing days of Vember's attempts, the station broadcasts simultaneously with Talk Radio 702 in Johannesburg on two occasions, as Vember speaks to former RMR presenter, and now 702 stalwart, David O'Sullivan. Recent events In August 2006 the station marked its 25th birthday with the opening of its new R750,000 studio, office and production facilities, making it quite possibly the best equipped campus radio station in the country. The next month, as part of the 25th birthday celebrations, RMR breakfast DJ Robin Vember attempted to beat the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous radio broadcast. Vember broadcast between 07h00 on Monday 18 September 2006 and 13h15 on Saturday 23 September 2006, beating the previous record by just over an hour. The record attempt is yet to receive official confirmation by Guinness authorities.
