Anchor station

an anchor station is similar to an anchor channel. However, instead of using a TV station as an anchor, you use a radio station as an anchor. You'll listen to one radio station until your favorite show is on or you find something better.

Ex 1: When you're cruising the airwaves, because your favorite station is playing the third set of commercials in the past ten minutes, you may find another station to listen to for your listening pleasure. That station you find is the anchor station.

Ex 2:
Listener 1: Man, these commercials are annoying, and the "Friday Night Mixtape with LMFAO in the Mix" doesn't start until 9 pm!

Listener 2: There's a station on 97.5 that plays LMFAO-style music all the time! Let's use that as the anchor station until this station starts broadcasting the mix show.

Switching stations

To switch stations simply means to go from one language to next during your interaction with another speaker who may also be bi or multilingual. People "switch stations" to add a bit of context on the subject matter or topic they're talking about so that the listener can fully comprehend the speaker. The speaker also does this as a way to relate to their listener(s) and make them feel connected. The phrase/term originally derived from the multitude of radio and TV stations, in South Africa, that are being broadcasted in different tongues/languages for specific listeners/viewers to read. So if you change from one station to the next, you would hear the new speaker on your telly or radio speak in a different tongue than the predecessor from the other station.

Speaker #1: Sawubona bhuti. Igama lami nguSphiwe and what is your name?

Speaker #2: Yebo, sawubona Sphiwe. I'm Trevor.

Speaker #1: Oh, okay. Ngiyajabula ukukwazi Trevor.

Speaker #2: 😅 Yebo. Nice to meet you too, Sphiwe.
