The station is unique in the SABC PBS stable as it is the only station primarily targeting the youth with two languages of broadcast, IsiXhosa and English.

This differentiating factor matters as it provides the youth a platform to express themselves, engage with each other and interact with the rest of the world.

This is done within the context of our mandate to inform, educate and entertain, to support and develop culture and as far as possible ensure the fair and equal treatment of the predominant languages in the province. In essence, trufm is a platform of expression for young people without being judged.
