Eliminating Promotional Material

It's absurd to embed a radio station's program schedule as part of the main text of its Wikipedia entry because it's subject to frequent changes and not properly encyclopedic. Moreover, it's dry reading. Anyone who wishes to learn more details about the station can consult the station's web site directly. Otherwise, the Wikipedia article reads more like shameless self-promotion. Consequently, I've removed the following from the article.

Breakfast show host Aden Thomas is behind the microphone from 6am to 9am with regular news, business, sport and traffic updates, as well as the day’s current affairs issues. From 9am to 12 noon Redi Direko chats to newsmakers and takes calls on topics listeners want to speak about. After that Chris Gibbons hosts an hour-long current affairs show until 1pm, followed by Lisa Chait’s show from 1pm to 3pm. John Maytham continues to invite and share views during his 3pm to 6pm timeslot and then Bruce Whitfield wraps up the day's business news from 6pm to 7pm. Leigh Bennie’s weekday specialist show is scheduled from 7pm to 9pm, after which Kieno Kammies takes calls on the day’s news and other topical issues.
