Hot 1027 is a South African commercial radio station based in Johannesburg. Formerly known as Classic FM 102.7, the station was founded in 1997 and catered exclusively to a classical music audience. Following a business rescue process, the station was acquired by a new owner and rebranded as Hot 1027 on 1 July 2021, adopting a hybrid format of old-school, R&B, and classical music.
Since its relaunch, the station has seen significant audience growth and has won multiple international and local awards.
