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.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“Since events are not metaphors, the literal-minded have a certain advantage in dealing with them.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
