The stations will broadcast the programmes in conjunction with the Western Cape Education Department (WCED) and the Government Communication and Information Service (GCIS).

Some radio stations will broadcast the sessions live, while others will record them for separate programming. The live broadcasts will take place between 6 and 7 pm from Wednesday to Thursday every week, until late in October. The dates of the final programmes are still being finalised.

Radio stations that will not broadcast the programmes live will announce the times of the sessions on air.

Subject advisers and other specialists will guide revision during the broadcasts on key matric subjects for about half an hour before dealing with questions. Learners and teachers can email questions to matric07@pgwc.gov.za, or phone the toll-free number: 0800 314 446 during broadcast times, from 6 to 7 pm from Monday to Thursday each week.
