The Duo are on air every day of the week from Mondays to Thursdays and Sometimes Fridays when Dj Showstar, presenter of the Fridays Breakfast Show is committed to other duties.

Their coming on radio has seen the birth of many projects that have been appreciated by most Hone Fm Radio fans.

One Project that has showed that the duo are indeed a duo that radio has for a long time needed is a segment called the KU NA KWA CARE FOR THE CHILDREN INITIATIVE. 

This initiative was born from a segment the duo co host called THE BREAKFAST TABLE. 

One the breakfast table the duo allow listeners to send in their situations of life that need words of encouragements and advise from diverse people. sometimes, Dj Kas and Dj Ken Come up with a topic of discussion affecting the many Zambians out there. Among other topics tackled on the segment  are Unemployment levels, Teenage pregnancies, Poverty, Relationship among others.

it is from the segment that the initiative has brought both the listeners and the presenters themselves to give a helping hand to the many street kids in Lusaka.

The VINTU olo KUWAYA WAYA FYE segment is another segment that the duo present. This segment gives a platform to upcoming artists to have their songs criticized by the isteners.

The listeners give their views on what they think about the song on the chopping board on weather or not its a Good song or Not

 Throw Back Thursday is a Thursday like every other week but Hone has dedicated this day to celebrate old Music be it Hip Hop, Reggae, Zed,  or any genre of music.

The duo on every Throw back Thursday bring a legendary and celebrated Zambian music artist as their guest. This program comes at 08:10 hrs and aims at making the listeners interact with their most celebrated artists.

Bearing in mind that the breakfast show on Hone Fm is the anchor of Zambian Music, every Thursday the duo play Zambian music from as far as 1999 to 2008.

This segment has been appreciated by not just the listeners but also the musicians hosted on the show among them, General Ozzy who was the first to be hosted and CQ.

Other than making the listeners interact with these artists,the idea behind bringing these artist on radio is appreciate their conceited  while they are still alive.

 Most Zambian Music lovers complained of artist that can cannot put up a live performance but only do miming when called to perform.

The Ku Na Kwa Breakfast bwoys in collaboration with Dream Sounds Music and The Evelyn Hone College Music Department have put Zambian artists to a challenge by bringing a segment called the  LIVE CAFE.

On this segment, Ken and Kas Host artist on the show to perform live music.

DJ KEN
This is only a show for talented musicians because depending your performance as an artist, you may or not attract a larger listener ship to your music. unfortunately if you are one that trust or relies on Auto tune. this segment is not favorable for you.

Other than the above named programmes, Kas and Ken also bring the motivation talk. This segment brings inspirational messages to many of the listeners that tune in to the breakfast show.

it is not an assumption but a clear confession that people have given that they indeed get inspired with the different motivations that they get from Motivation talk on the BreakFast show.

                                                                            It is a clear fact Kas and Ken  are indeed presenters that radio has been missing for a long time because they have brought a new dimension to radio.

For sure, Radio is not just about music and business, its also about what impact you have on the people that listen to you as a presenter.
