Proposal

1.0 Title of the Study The working title of this study is initially drafted as A Comparative Study of Teaching Methodologies Used by the Primary Teachers in Public and Private Schools.

2.0 Provision for Topic Based on the working title provided, there are three topics that the study will explore teaching methodologies, primary level and public and private schools. There is always the comparison between public and private schools based on facilities, class size, budgets, administrative support and of course teaching methods employed, all contribute to the decision where the child should be educated. Primary education, on the other hand, is the first stage of compulsory education which aimed to basic literacy and numeracy.

3.0 Introduction As already mentioned, primary education thrives forbasic literacy and numeracy amongst all pupils. This level of education focuses on establishing foundations in science, geography, history and other social sciences. Typically, the pupils are placed in a class with one teacher who will be basically responsible for their education and welfare for a whole school year. Continuity with a single teacher and opportunity to build a close relationship are the most notable feature of the primary education system. Teaching primary level must be child active and child focused. It should develop both the manipulative and mental activities of the pupils. In addition, the primary subjects mustconcentrate on an aspect child experiences into which the child can display an interest (Murphy, 2003). With this, all the necessary elements of classroom learning must be properly incorporated from teaching methods, attitudes of the teacher, assessment of science learnings and etc. Today, the academic world is witnessing the creation of new learning environments which require an interactive approach to teaching. Such processes make important both the roles of teachers and students but the weight is given for the

teachers to integrate know-how in curriculum and instructions. There are two questions that relate to the study of teaching methodologies: the purpose of education and specific ways to achieve such purposes. Teaching methodologies should be developed with social principles and of starting what the students could learn more effectively as its foundation. Pedagogy is usually the ways by which a teacher can teach hence the teachers creates materials to be taught and enforces such. Strategies of instruction or styles of instruction the teachers conform to are diverse. Amongst the most common methodologies why various sub-methods are based are: questioning, explaining, demonstrating and collaborating. Questioning is a teaching method that includes questioning is similar to testing. A teacher may ask a series of questions to collect information of what students have learned and what needs to be taught. Testing is another method of questioning. A teacher tests the student on what was previously taught in order to identify if a student has learned the material. Explaining is a teaching method which is similar to lecturing. Lecturing is teaching, giving a speech, by giving a discourse on a specific subject that is open to the public, usually given in the classroom. This can also be associated with demonstrating and modeling. A teacher may use experimentation to demonstrate in a science class. A demonstration is the circumstance of proving conclusively, as by reasoning or showing evidence. Modeling is used as a visual aid to learning. Students can visualize an object or problem, then use reasoning and hypothesizing to determine an answer. Demonstrations are done to provide an opportunity in learning new exploration and visual learning tasks from a different perspective. Demonstrations can be exercised in several ways. Here Teacher will be also a participant. He will do the work with his/her Student for their help. While collaborations are done through working in groups is another way a teacher can enforce a lesson plan. Collaborating allows students to talk among each other and listen to all view points of discussion or assignment. It helps students think in an unbiased way. When this lesson plan is carried out, the teacher may be trying to assess the lesson of working as a team, leadership skills, or presenting with roles.

4.0 Problem Statement The problem focus of this study is the preferences of primary teachers in public and private schools of the teaching methodologies. In this way, the study could

determine which teaching methodology is preferred by public school teachers and which method is preferred by private school teachers. With this said. The following research questions will be given answer to. 1) Which among these teaching methodologies are preferred by primary teachers? 2) Why primary teachers employ and make use of these teaching methodologies 3) How do the primary teachers perceive the relevance of their teaching methodologies? 4) How effective are the teaching methodologies employed?

5.0 Aims and Objectives The main aim of this study is to compare the teaching methodologies employed in public and private schools in Pakistan particularly for the primary students. In lieu with this, the following research objectives will be addressed. Identify the preferred teaching methodologies of public primary teachers and private primary teachers Evaluate the effectiveness of the preferred teaching methodology Determine the reasons why preferred teaching methodologies are being employed

6.0 Importance of the Study The study will be important because it will help people understand more about the teaching methodologies differences and specifically in security-challenged countries like Pakistan. By doing so, strategies and approaches can be developed by schools in tapping out the teaching competence of teachers working for public and private schools. Findings may be important in developing a new curriculum for teacher education. Knowing which teaching methodologies the teachers prefer will help the schools administrations in asserting the technical and professional needs of these teachers. Knowing why teachers make use of these methodologies in teaching their students could be also relevant in strategising their pedagogical approach. Finally, knowing the

manner by which teachers interact with their students during lessons could determine the levels of competencies of the teachers. This study can also be an important endeavour in pedagogical literature. Studying this unexplored issue in Pakistan context may help the academic system in the country and from there, develop and/or create strategies or suggestions on how to address specific weaknesses or strengths of the teaching methodologies employed. As I assume a role within the academic system after I have completed the course, it would be my responsibility to contribute to the educational literature particularly the literature that concerns teaching processes and practices inside the classroom.

7.0 Methodology The study will explore the problem in a positivist view, using exploratory because it aims to know more about the phenomenon of teaching methodologies. Exploratory research will enable the study to look at the problem in both descriptive and exploratory manner. It will look into the problem by exploring the views of different sets of respondents, as well as by exploring different literatures related with the study. As such, it will determine the present facts as well as facts that are not yet explored about the phenomenon (Saunders et al, 2003). This research is a study of a particular phenomenon (or phenomena) at a particular time. (Saunders et al, 2003) Accordingly, cross-sectional studies often employ the survey strategy, and they may be seeking to describe the incidence of a phenomenon or to compare factors in different settings. The survey method, on the other hand, will be used for data collection. Surveys are conducted to gather data from the field in order to generalize results from a sample to a larger population. The primary purpose and advantage of surveys is to generalize the results. Usually, surveys are interesting in gathering data from many than in obtaining intensive, detailed information from a few individuals; therefore, it is seldom for a survey to consist of one or very few individuals. The study will survey 100 teachers from public and private schools in Pakistan. Teachers must be working in the schools for at least five years, licensed and at the primary level. This paper recognises the difficulty in conducting survey with the teachers

because of the status of security in the country. Nonetheless, the study also recognises the challenge to collect information from them. The study will use a 25-item structured questionnaire. Secondary data will also be collated. Literatures will be sought on different education journals. Finally, all data will be evaluated using the latest SPSS software. The weighted mean and percentage of the responses will be calculated. The following statistical formulas will be used: 1. Percentage to determine the magnitude of the responses to the questionnaire. n % = -------- x 100 N ; n number of responses N total number of respondents

2. Weighted Mean f1x1 + f2x2 + f3x3 + f4x4 + f5x5 x = --------------------------------------------- ; xt where: f weight given to each response x number of responses xt total number of responses

Research Design and Methodology

For determining ample substance of such impact of low cost fashion companies, the research samples to undertake will be subject for survey questionnaire in support to case studies as presented for Zara and Topshop respectively. It can be divided into two groups of shoppers, 50 loyal shoppers of Zara and the other 50 shoppers of Topshop, the two groups of respondents are Hong Kong shoppers as the two stores have branches in Hong Kong. It is essential to focus on such sample population in order to control such feasibility problems that may come along in research. The age bracket of the shoppers can range be from 25-35 years old. Then, quantitative and qualitative data will be analyzed and that quantitative will be sourced to the primary data gathered and will be undergone into compilation, frequencies, percentages and determination of relationships. Qualitative data will come from the open type of questions in the questionnaire that will reflect the personal opinions of respondents not included in the selection, data will be significant when quantitative data is discovered to have deviations from such factors seen. For the realization of the study in progress, one crucial methodology to be applied is through survey questionnaires that will be given to the shoppers coming from Zara and Topshop stores. The survey questionnaire can be in easy and simple form for the students to respond well and fairly. Thus, basic shopper information have to be included in the survey questionnaire such as the shoppers age, gender, occupation and income bracket (optional, only if the shoppers want to tell how much there income is). The questions can be divided into 3 subsets, 5 questions will be asking how they are influence by the services and products being offered by those low cost fashion stores and possibly ask them if they see and feel any sense of competition among other fashion stores and if there is, any specific indicators of it. The next 5 questions will be price ranges of such products probably, clothes on regular price, new arrival of items, and also those products on sale and or bargain and then ask the shoppers opinions if prices do matter to them as to why they shop at Zara or Topshop and not on those signature, first class fashion stores and possibly to give their ideas on prices when it comes to competition from within the fashion markets. The last 5 questions can be identifying of such Zara and Topshop effectiveness in such promotions they give to their shoppers and basically, ask the shoppers to give their satisfaction ratings of those fashion stores and

to ask them to give general assumptions of Zara and Topshop and probably suggest areas for improvement that caters to the shoppers in majority. Thus, there can also be utilization of several case study examples supporting these low cost fashion companies for the underlying outcomes they contribute in fierce competition among fashion industries and its markets and these cases can be found from secondary sources of information as such supported by peer reviewed journals and or academic articles related to the conjectures of the fashion market today. The qualitative approach is to answer questions about the nature of phenomena with the purpose of describing and understanding them from Zara and Topshop shoppers' point of view. Thus, the case study design have the capability of uncovering causal paths and mechanisms and by precise detail there identifies several causal influences and interaction effects which might not be treated well in such statistics investigation as particularly helpful in generating useful concepts for better development of the fashion industry reflected in those low cost companies. (Cited from, Leedy, 1997; Yin, 1984) Thus, the case study approach will amicably involve the utilization of such methodological information integrating certain suitable ideas and concepts from such primary resources as handed well using first hand findings and research outcomes signifying research appropriateness through any case study material based on amiable research tools and techniques to be executed in research. (Cited from, Leedy, 1997; Yin, 1984) The research methodology and design process would involve such primary as well as secondary sources for bringing about substantial studies that are literature based and theoretically inclined for which such research methods utilized may truly serve its first hand purpose for this study. The primary sources will have to represent original thinking as the core data for the research will have to be in case studies as well as survey questionnaires equipped with suitable statistical data and its measures as it can have direct observation to the research process as undergoing research should be handed in with empirical facets and crucial points gathered by the researcher. There should also be the integration of secondary data as findings and assumption studies made by several researchers can be good option that supports any valid information. The secondary data will then analyze and evaluate information as being found in the primary sources and creates information more accessible to the readers

and the parties involved as these were supported by good books, peer reviewed journals as well as articles and other publication types. When moving the case method for instance, can have such shifts from one paradigm to another and in handling study discipline, such careful approach is amicably needed. The data to be gathered will be tallied by the researcher and will be encoded in the computer. Hard copy will be printed to ensure that files are kept including the questionnaire responses of the sample. Frequencies will be computed into percentages and will be presented through graphs, tables and textual arrangements. VR data will also undergo interpretation to determine student to VR relationships indicating the applicability of the research study.

The analysis of data can be through scaling interpretation for the survey questions that can be in support to any descriptive type of analysis basing from the responses of shoppers of both Zara and Topshop. The measurement for such analysis, must take such forms of non-comparative scales to be illustrated as qualitative approach can involve numeric value and on the other hand, be it in semantic way with complete scaling measurements as equipped to understand applications in such fashion essence. There will be utilization of interval scaling as the researcher can justify the use of the arithmetic mean as measure of average. Thus, Likert scales have been described in this chapter are among the most commonly used in marketing research. Whilst there are great many more forms which scales can take, if students are familiar with those described in this chapter they will be well equipped to deal with most types of survey problem. Furthermore, through such application of the Likert scale measurement, the degree of agreement as well as disagreement will be given desired numeric value wherein there can include such 2-5 interpretative points from strongly agree up to neutral scaling aspect down to strongly disagree as to be effective in calculation processes (Cited from, Underwood, 2004 p. 1 in Greymaterial, May 3, 2007). The data to be presented will have to be in tabulation and due analysis through the use of deviations in median and percentage standardization. Future studies that could be of use by the researchers can be seen in the matter of how effective this particular research study to the society that will be transpired that the study is of applied values and norms that could be the useful indication of the studies to be discussed and be

able to assimilate in the future research studies that is more or less related to the presumed study. The proposal then, may possibly explain relevance of research approach and its affectivity to the served purpose respectively.

Resources
The resources deemed for the realization of the study can come from related books and certain publications mostly underlying to the support resource materials ideally as basis for the literature studies of the study. The knowledge and information to be integrated and evaluated for validity and reliability can be resources directed to EBSCO the emerald insight journals and articles as well as from Blackwell Synergy if possible and thus, good sources of books that can be found from Amazon books online and Questia Library. Access to study population For such access to study population, there can be distribution of permission letters and that should be given to the supervisor heads of Zara and Topshop and ask their permission to use their stores as the venue for giving out of the survey questionnaires to their customers/shoppers who come in their stores and buy something on their products. Thus, informing Zara and Topshop that such suitable information about them will be use as information reference for whatever case data needed for the overall aspect of the research.

History of the 101.1 frequency[edit]

Kiss[edit]
It began its operations in 1985 as Kiss FM 101.1 (call letters DWKS) owned by Makati Broadcasting Network with studios located at 14th floor, Insular Life Building, Ayala Ave. cor. Paseo de Roxas, Makati Central Business District. From 1985, it had theContemporary Hit Radio format, competing directly with 99.5 RT. It changed its name to Kiss Jazz 101.1 and transformed into asmooth jazz format from 1988 to 1990 competing directly with Citylite 88.3 (now Jam 88.3) before it quietly went off the air.

Showbiz Tsismis[edit]
Main article: DWST (19921998) During 1992, MBC launched the show business gossip and music station, 101.1 Showbiz Tsismis. At that time, its call sign wasDWST, which stood for "Showbiz Tsismis" (Showbiz Gossip). 101.1 Showbiz Tsismis had a mix of show business news and the latest music hits, and even employed reporters with a reporting style similar to that of local AM stations.

Yes! FM[edit]
On December 8, 1998, 101.1 was re-launched as YES FM! with a different call sign (DWYS). Its format was hot adult contemporary / easy listening similar to its sister station 90.7 Love Radio and became the undisputed number 1 FM station in 1999 to 2002. On July, 2002, all MBC stations from Makati City were relocated and transferred at Star City Complex in Pasay, Philippines and in 2008, YES! FM 101.1 was again repackaged and it adopted the slogan Automatic 'Yan! YES-FM. The playlists used were almost the same as 90.7 Love Radio's but the programming was different. In 2012, as part of "Radyo? Dalawa Lang Yan!" campaign (which was launched by Yes FM and Love Radio in the first quarter of 2011), some DJs from Love Radio such as Missy Hista, Rica Herra, Rico Paero and Lala Banderas are moved to Yes FM in exchange to Diego Bandido, Emma Harot, Robin Sienna and Kristin Dera, as well to the new slogan as the "Hayahay" station which later became also the slogan on other Yes FM and several Hot FM and Love Radio stations.

History[edit]
The station was previously known by its call letters DWEI originally owned by Liberty Broadcasting Corporation which features MOR. However LBC sold the station to Audiovisual Communicators led by Rene Lacson and Fredi Garcia. This was later renamed the callsign as DWRX-FM on August 23, 1983. However, the station had been inherited the call letters RX from the stations former owners, describing "prescription music". On that same year, the station adopted the pop format as Music City RX93 and became #1 on the survey in the mid1980s. In 1987, the station transferred from its studio and offices in Makati to its current location in Ortigas and it was reformatted as Light Rock RX93, with its light rock format. In October 1990, the station reverted to its pop format as Monster Radio RX93. Three years later, it became "The First Creative Pop Station" by adding the point (.) and 1 at 93, so it became Monster Radio RX 93.1 with its current slogan, "Manila's Hottest". The station is also known as "Summer's Hottest" & "Season's Hottest".

Yes, you can always turn off the radio; get off the public utility vehicles; or better yet watch tv. But if the people rate 90.7 as no. 1 in FM stations, respect the opinion of the majority. After all, who cares about your opinion. You do not own our rad ios; you do not pay for our electric bills; you do not advertise in that station. You know, I like Nicole and Chris. Pare, titulado rin akong tao and have labored for more than a decade in college for titles few people have but I do not denigrate anyone because of his preference. After all, what makes me happy is good for me quesehodang jologs ako. Being sophisticated never adds color in my life anyway. reply

I actually like this station, Love Radio. Im sorry if many feel that they are insulted or offended in any way by bad stations but think of it this way, these bad stations are still on the air. That only means there is actual support for it. True, radio stations must respect the sensitivities of people who are offended but how about the sensitivities of other people who are not offended and actually enjoy these stations. When you call these stations bad youre already implying that the people who listen to them have bad taste. It is important to note that those who enjoy listening to these radio stations are the majority of the people, who might be masa or otherwise. I am more sorry for you people who cant and perceive more than themselves. Besides if its really that b ad, why not just turn off the radio or change frequency? There are less people here defending maybe because most people have harder problems in life than just the green jokes they hear and these people (those with harder problems) dont have the luxu ry of time to rant about in their blogs. reply

the reason ive stopped listening to radio stations (except nu107) and just bought myself an mp3 player is to be spared from the irritatingly corny and unbelievably stupid jokes and remarks, which is sometimes unavoidably imposed upon me from the wrecked speakers of jeepneys on my ride home, from kukurukuku who, in my opinion, should be shot dead! anyone who patronizes that retarded midget (i imagine it to be one) should also be shot dead because they obviously live such boring l ives

I stumbled on this thread dahil nakikinig ako ng Love Radio. Kayo ba? Nuffs said about the topic actually, kung ayaw mo, wag mo. Nasabi na nila Warbaby at Jetza ang ibig kong ibahagi. I started tuning in to this station a month ago. I was just tired of listening to the same pop tunes or the same rock songs or the same crossover hits over and over felt like I needed something different. Then this station was playing a Visayan song. It had a catchy melody but I couldnt understand it. I needed to hear it again so I kept the station on. Also got hooked listening to Chris and Nicole brainless entertainment! Still cant find the title and the artist for that song I like. I deciphered the dialect though really funny lyrics!

Hindi naman bad taste yung mga jokes nila, dahil ito ay isa sa mga kanilang munting pamamaraan para lang mawala ang mga problema ng mga nakikinig sa kanila, kung meron man sila.

Paul Adrian Samarita says: August 9, 2009 at 4:07 pm

Yes! I agree with this opinion. I dont like radio stations like Love, YES, 101.9, Magic, LS, IFM because:

1. They played songs that can distract the persons who sleep especially children. 2. They play hip-hop music which I dont like. 3. They have noisy DJs and greenish jokes. For me, my favorite radio stations are: 97dot9 Home Radio 105.1 Crossover 92.3 XFM 106.7 Dream FM. But my most favorite station is home radio because they dont have DJs, they only have a voice over. She did not play greenis h jokes, but awesome and interesting trivia and Home Radio airs pleasing music that cant distract children who is sleeping. Thank you. by: Paul Adrian Samarita reply

Actually, it is not Love Radio that has those green jokes and punch lines. Yes FM is the most green national radio station in the country. Love Radio is nothing compared to the inconsiderate, rude, and unprofessional behaviors of Yes FMs DJs. One of thos e DJs is my friend. I would say that he is the most considerate DJ there, but as a whole, Yes FM has a very unwholesome atmosphere. I love the way Bruno, Brownie, and Beauty deliver their jokes, though; theyre the best. I agree that radio stati ons that are not wholesome should not be used for public places like restos, fast food chains, and even public utility vehicles. But having corny jokes is not objectionable; its up to you to listen and appreciateor not. reply

On-air staff[edit]
Most of the hosts/jocks' names are derived from common Filipino occupations (e.g., driver, vendor).

Chris Tsuper (Adrian Policena) a cross-between "Christopher" and "tsuper", a driver/motorist. He was previously known as "Carlo Valentino" of Love Radio Lucena

Nicole Hyala (Emmy Gaite - Tinana) lifted from "kolehiyala", a female college student Kristine Dera (Ivanne Colleen Parrilla) - lifted from "tindera", a female vendor Diego Bandido (Michael Fantinalgo) - lifted from "bandido", a bandit (formerly Diego Latigo from 102.7 Star FM)

Emma Harot (Maria Juanita dela Cruz) - lifted from "maharot" (formerly Rickee Kulit from 93.9 I FM) Robin Sienna (Diana Kate Valdez) - lifted from "probinsyana", a girl from the province Papa Jack (John Gemperle) - lifted from the "padyak" boys, a bicycle with a sidecar Pinong Lagari (Kadyot Pinong) The character behind "Kadyot lang! Kadyot lang", Cebuano for "Wait up!" which became one of the station's catchphrases. His story was recently immortalized in the TV anthology Magpakailanman.

Kukurukuku The chipmunk-sounding character who first popularized "Kailangan pa bang i-memorize 'yan!" (Does it have to be memorized?)

Raqi Terra (Jessey Guiam)

Theme songs[edit]

Love Radio: Ang Sarap Mong Number 1 (2012-present)

Strengths and criticisms[edit]

From strictly slow songs, the strong point of all Love Radio shows today has been its plain and simple grassroots entertainment. The jocks are criticized by mostly educated listeners of higher income groups for their cheap jokes, senseless banter, and even its absurd and green jock names. A plus factor is the signal quality. DZMB's signal involves a quadraphonic (4 channel) stereo sound that is heavy on the bass side of music, giving it an overwhelming presence. It's a sure come-on even for radios of relatively weak quality, ensuring its popularity.

Active RockThe term often used for stations which play rock music designed to be played loudly, such as "hard rock", "metal", and "heavy metal".Adult Album Alternative

(AAA)A station which plays largely current music which tends to appeal more to adults than to teenagers. AAA playlists are much broader than the limited playlists of hit radio, and therefore depend on album tracks as well as on music released or designated as singles. Stylistically, such stations may play rock, folk-rock, country-rock, modern rock, blues, folk, and world music. Some publications refer to the adult-oriented rock music heard on AAA stations as "Progressive Rock", not to be confused with the 70's music of the same name.Adult AlternativeA station which plays current hits, whether single releases or popular album tracks, which tend to appeal to adults more than to teenagers. Playlists are drawn from rock, pop, country-rock, folk-rock and blues releases. There are no stations of this type in the New York area.Adult Contemporary (AC)A station primarily playing popular and rock music released during the past fifteen or twenty years, designed for general listeners rather than for listeners actively interested in hearing current releases. The playlists of many AC stations will also include a limited selection of older material and current hits. See Lite AC, Hot AC, and Rock AC.Album Oriented Rock (AOR)This is a format so named as to distinguish itself from Top 40 stations of the past, which played primarily singles. AOR stations thrived between the late 60's and the 80's, during the heyday of FM Rock Radio. See Rock, Classic Rock.Alternative RockA station which plays rock music which is stylistically derivative of the Seattle grunge bands of the late 80's, and to some extent, the punk/new wave artists of the late 70's, rather than the "classic" rock artists of the 60's and 70's. These stations are aimed primarily at teenage audiences and feature mostly current single releases and popular album cuts. Since the Alternative Rock peak of the mid-90's, many alternative rock bands (and stations) have evolved in the direction of modern rock, or in some cases, hard rock. See Modern Rock.AmericanaA station which plays mostly current country-rock, folk-rock, blues and American roots music which tends to appeal to adults more than to teenagers.Classic RockA station which plays rock music released during the 60's, 70's and 80's. These stations recreate the sound of Album Oriented Rock stations of that period (although often with a much more limited playlist) and appeal mainly to adults rather than to teenagers. Some Classic Rock stations play a limited amount of current releases stylistically consistent with the station's sound.Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR) A station which plays a significant amount of current popular music, whether singles or album cuts. As it is no longer unusual for a single to remain on the charts for 30-40 weeks or longer, "current" refers to music released within the last year. A more accurate description for "CHR" would be "Current Hit Radio". This format is the descendent of the Top 40 stations popular from the 50's through the 80's. Although some CHR stations base their playlists on surveys of local record sales or phone requests, most rely on published charts such as the Billboard Hot 100. As of December, 1998, the Billboard Hot 100 chart began to include popular album tracks not commercially released as singles, and began weighing a song`s airplay three times as heavily as a song`s sales. The Billboard Hot 100 chart is therefore a measure of which songs are being played on CHR stations which, in turn, base their playlists on Billboard`s Hot 100 chart. Contemporary Hit Radio stations tend to concentrate on specific music styles, such as Rock or Urban, or a range of styles, such as Rock/Pop/Dance or R&B/Rap/Dance. Some CHR stations play a significant amount of hits released during the past ten or fifteen years, particularly if there are insufficient current hit releases which fall within the station's stylistic range.DanceA station which plays music, whether or not current, produced primarily to be played for dancing. This type of music was originally known as Disco music. Stations which play mostly current Dance music are often referred to as "CHR-Rhythmic", while stations which play Dance music of the past two decades are referred to as "Rhythmic AC".Ethnic/InternationalPrograms which feature music, whether traditional or popular, of a particular ethnic group, nation, or region, and are aimed at listeners from the featured group or place. Compare to World Music.Hot Adult Contemporary

(Hot AC)A station which plays commercial popular and rock music released during the past fifteen or twenty years which is more lively than the music played on the average Adult Contemporary station, but is still designed to appeal to general listeners rather than listeners interested in hearing current releases. Another definition of "Hot Adult Contemporary" used in the radio industry is an Adult Contemporary station which plays a significant amount of new rock/pop releases. There is no strict rule as to how much new material a station needs to play in order to be considered "CHR" rather than "Hot AC". To confuse matters further, you will often see an "Adult Contemporary" music chart, which tracks current songs which appeal to adults but are more pop-oriented than songs found on the "Adult Alternative" chart. Billboard Magazine also compiles an "Adult Top 40" Chart, which tracks rock singles and album cuts which appeal to an adult audience. This chart reflects airplay on rock-oriented CHR stations as well as the new release airplay component of Hot AC stations. See AC, Lite AC, and Rock ACLite Adult Contemporary (Lite AC)A station playing particularly easy-going popular and rock music released during the past fifteen or twenty years designed to appeal to general listeners. This format is the descendent of the not-quiteextinct "Easy Listening" format of years past. See AC and Hot AC.Modern RockA station which plays mostly current rock music performed by artists which have become prominent during the past five to ten years. Stylistically, the music tends to fall between Rock and Alternative Rock. See Alternative Rock, Rock.Music Formats Generally What a radio station's music format sounds like is governed by four parameters: music style, music time period, music activity level, and music sophistication. Music Style refers strictly to the type of music played, regardless of how the music is packaged for airplay. Music Time Period refers to the time of the music's release. "Current" music generally refers to music released within the last year, "Contemporary" music generally refers to music released within the past fifteen or twenty years, "Oldies" generally refers to music released between the mid-50's and the mid70's, and "Nostalgia" refers to music released prior to the mid-50's. Music Activity Level is a measure of the music's dynamic impact, ranging from soft & mellow to loud & hard-driving. Some names of music styles include built-in descriptions of the music's activity level: "hard rock", "smooth jazz". Music Sophistication is a reflection of whether the musical structure and lyrical content of the music played is simple or complex. Although difficult to quantify, this factor often determines the composition of a station's audience. It is also reflected in the presentation of the station`s air staff.OldiesA station which plays popular, rock 'n roll, and rock music released during the "golden era of hit music", roughly 1955-1975. The term "Oldies" is actually a misnomer; a more accurate name for this format would be "Golden Hits", as music from the post-1975 period may qualify as "old" but will rarely qualify as "gold". Across the country, the format of various Oldies stations vary, some playing 50's and 60's music, others 60's, 70's, and even 80`s music, 70's music only, "rock oldies", or r&b oldies. A format which became briefly popular in the 90`s was the "Jammin' Oldies" format, which featured r&b oldies from the late 60's and 70's.PersonalityPrograms or formats which rely on the personalities of an on-air host or hosts to entertain listeners, often with humor, parody, satire, or commentary on current events. Personality programming may also include music, interviews, and other features.RockA station which plays mostly current rock music, whether single releases or album cuts. Due to the diversity within rock music today,

the playlists of different rock stations will tend to fall within different stylistic ranges. See Modern Rock, Alternative Rock, Active Rock,Rock AC.Rock ACA station which plays rock music released largely during the past fifteen or twenty years, designed for the general rock listener who is not actively interested in following current releases. These stations, sometimes known as "rock hits", include some "classic rock" material and some current material in their playlists. Some of the "name" formats such as "Jack" include some pop material along with rock hits.Smooth JazzA station which plays easy-going popular music with a "jazzy" feel, designed to set a mood rather than to invite critical listening. "Smooth Jazz" is often set to a medium-tempo or "hip-hop" beat. This format is often referred to as New Adult Contemporary, or "NAC".Standards/Big BandA station which plays popular music recorded by the Big Bands of the late 30's and '40's, music recorded by Big Band-era singers during the 40's and '50's, and/or interpretations of the "standards" of that period, including recent interpretations. This format is primarily aimed at older adults and is sometimes referred to as "Adult Standards" or "Nostalgia" format. Some stations of this type will play any non-rock popular music of the past 60 years.TalkA format or program which features one or more hosts discussing current events and other topics, often in the context of a particular political ideology. Talk programs frequently feature in-studio guests and calls from members of the public, representing varying degrees of expertise. Health, medical, and financial topics are especially popular.UrbanStations or programs which plays music, such as rap, hip-hop, r&b, and soul, in the styles which are the descendents of rhythm & blues music of past decades. The mix favored by any given station depends in large part upon the age of the station's audience. Many Urban stations which appeal to adults rather than to teenagers include soul/r&b hits dating back twenty years or longer, and are sometimes characterized as "Urban AC".World MusicPrograms which play music which evokes musical styles of one or more regions of the world, but is not necessarily performed by musicians from those regions or aimed solely at listeners from those regions. Compare Ethnic/International Music.*Other Music FormatsOther popular music station formats include Jazz, Classical, Spanish, and Country. In some parts of the country, there are sub-categories within these formats, particularly with respect to country and Spanish-language music. http://www.nyradioguide.com/formats.htm

What is a radio format?

A radio format, or programming format, or programming genre refers to the overall content broadcasting over a radio station. Some stations broadcast multiple genres on set schedule. Over the years, formats have evolved and new ones have been introduced. In today's age of radio, many radio formats are designed to reach a specifically defined segment or niche of the listening population based on such demographic criteria as age, ethnicity, background, etc.

Format types and definitions

Many formats are defined below with descriptions on each. Within each type are sub-type and niche formats that usually target their format to an even more defined target audience. The following formats are also geared toward the United States, Canada and Latin America. Please note that it is possible that formats can fall into different categories than the way this is organized.

News, talk, sports formats Country music formats Contemporary hit radio (CHR) music formats Adult contemporary music formats Rock and alternative music formats Urban music formats

Jazz and Classical music formats Oldies, Adult Hits and Nostalgia music formats Spanish and Latin music formats World music formats Religious programming formats Public, Government, Community radio formats College, student formats Other formats (children's, ethnic, brokered)

On their own, radio and books represent traditionally powerful forms of media for Filipinos. Put them together, and you have a potent mix indeed. To begin with, FM radios most iconic personalities exert a strong pull on a desirable audience: the young, mobile Filipinos. Take for example, the juggernaut that is Chico and Delamar. From its first show in 1996, the funny, catchy exchanges between hosts Chico Garcia and Delamar Arias on their Monster Radio RX 93.1 show The Morning Rush (TMR) captured the attention of loyal listenersnicknamed The Rushersand their main weapon, the Top 10, was couldnt-be-missed appointment radio. Over the last 16-plus years, the show dominated their timeslot even as the hosts grew up, changed lineups, changed stations and went back to its original settings. They were hosts, not just disc jockeys, and a generation grew up with them as default background sounds. The show took on a new manifestation when Summit Books, the book-publishing arm of Summit Media, published The Best of Chico and Delamars The Morning Rush Top 10 in 2011, when it zoomed to number one on National Book Stores Philippine publications best-seller list and stayed there for six months. Reflecting the establishment of Gino Quillamor as a permanent co-host, The Best of Chico, Delamar, and Ginos The Morning Rush Top 10 Book 2 was last year, was greeted by a mob and similarly topped the NBS list anew. Combined, the two books have 135,000 copies in print. Christine Ko, Team Publisher for Summit Books, admits to being one of those daily listeners. I listen to TMR every day while driving to work. I love the show and would find myself la ughing alone, she says. So when Lisa (Gokongwei-Cheng, Summit Media president) asked us to contribute ideas on what books we can publish, I suggested it. Ko says that Chico and Delamar remain popular because they stay relevant. They always talk about current issues, she says. They themselves are smart and well informed. They know a lot of about everything. And they dont come off as know-it-alls. Ko says working on the TMR books was difficult, as the show had already been running for 15 years, and had so much material available, with Chico himself having more than 10 notebooks with their Top 10 lists. And he reviewed every single answer to narrow it down and make sure that the best answers would indeed land on the Top 10 list, Ko recalls. Because if you listen to their show, they usually come up with numerous batches of Top 10 answers within their four-hour program. The addition of Gino, she says, brought sexy back with his shameless flirting. The trios effortless rapport and easy banter make their four-hour show fly by and this accessibility is reflected in the TMR books content. Via text message, Chico says the books appeal lies in the fact that you can enjoy it even if you dont listen to the show. The humor is not exclusive to The Morning Rush. Its very Pinoy. Gino adds: There are different kinds of humor in it for everyone and you cant ever go wrong with something funny. Summit Books then upped the ante by releasing Everything I Need to Know About Love I Learned from Papa Jack: 356 Quotes Para sa Single, in Love, Problemado sa Relasyon at Sawi sa Pag-ibig earlier this year. Papa Jack, whose real name is John Gemperle, has two wildly popular advice shows called True Love Conversations and Wild Confessions on 90.7 Love Radio, and is known for dishing out tough love late at night, a particular staple of taxi or FX drivers and their passengers. The book compiles the most memorable quotes from Papa Jacks show. I think Papa Jack is the Joe D Mango of this generation. He is very wise and objective. His advice may not be what the callers want to hear but its definitely what they should do. He doesnt sugarcoat things, he tells it like it is, Ko says of Papa Jacks popularity. And speaking of love, its such a powerful, popular and relatable topic among us Filipinos. Everyone has a story to tell, whether its falling in love, having a broken heart or moving on. Everyone is so interested in this topic and honestly, were so tsismosa about other peoples love lives. Ko says that radio remains a very effective medium, the signal still strong: I think a lot of people still listen to the radio, especially when theyre in transit. TMR is from 6 to 10 a.m. People get to work or school at this time. Papa J ack airs from 9 p.m.. to 2 a.m. when people are on their way home. That pretty much defines radio books built -in audience. One would think that in this age of aggressive expansion by social media, radio would become steadily obsolete, but Gwenn Galvez, Marketing Manager for Anvil Publishing, says its the other way around. Internet radio has given

radio a new life. Mobile devices enable people to listen to radio even outside the confines of their homes and offices. People in buses, on the street even in the malls are plugged onto their smart phones and I suspect theyre not just listening to their play-lists, which can get boring after a while. Ko adds that many TMR listeners use Twitter to send in their entries while Papa Jack has fan pages on Facebook. I think social media complements those two shows, Ko says. Reflecting their radio audience, the target market for the TMR books is basically everybody from kids to adults while Ko describes the Papa Jack readers as being more masa. Galvez is sure the ir radio stations have surveys to verify who their listeners are but I would think that their readers are a broad cross section of the 18-30 market who follow their program and read for entertainment and leisure. Radio had invaded the bookshelves elsewhere. The medium figured big in three previous titles from PSICOM Publishing, Tado Jimenezs All About Myself, Not Yours and Nag -iisa Lang Ako, as well as Ramon Bautistas Bakit Hindi Ka Crush ng Crush Mo? with Jimenez and Bautista, both better known fo r their various TV antics, but were also co-hosts of the talk show The BrewRATS!, first on Hit 99.5 and then MTV Philippines affiliate station U92 before landing at Internet station DIG Radio. Their trademark humor is all over these titles. As the second TMR book and Everything I Know inexorably climb the best -seller chart, there will probably be more radio books coming in the future. Ko says Summit Books is trying out different genres. One sublime example is poet/frontman/eclectic weatherman Lourd de Veyras The Best of This is a Crazy Planets, a compilation of his SPOT.ph columns and possibly the funniest book in recent memory. Ko adds that they hope to do a TMR and Papa Jack book every year. Galvez says books on humor and love are always best -sellers. The nationwide reach of radio certainly helps to attract new readers. In that cool, creative process, radio met print, and now you can hear these distinctive voices with the touch of a dial, or the turn of a page.

THE MEDIA
Filipinos are inordinately proud of their nations status as the first democracy in Asia, a fact reflected in their love of a free press. Once Marcos was gone and martial law with him, the shackles truly came off and the Philippine media became one of the most vociferous and freewheeling in the world. There is a dark side to this, however the Philippines is also one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist, with many killed every year. If youre looking for news from home, most cities and tourist areas now have cable TV with CNN and possibly the BBC. Foreign news publications are harder to find. The best bet is to visit a five-star hotel, where lobby gift shops sometimes stock the International Herald Tribune, Time, Newsweek and The Economist.

Newspapers and magazines

Major English-language daily broadsheet newspapers include the Philippine Daily Inquirer (wwww.inquirer.net), the Philippine Star (wwww.philstar.com) and the Manila Times (wwww.manilatimes.net). There are dozens of tabloids on the market, all of them lurid and often gruesome. Most of these are in Tagalog, though Peoples Tonight (wwww.journal.com.ph) is largely in English with Filipino thrown in where the vernacular better expresses the drama, such as in quotations from victims of crime and from the police. Some of the most trusted reporting on the Philippines comes from the Philippine Centre for Investigative Journalism (wwww.pcij.org), founded in 1989 by nine Filipino journalists who wanted to go beyond the day-to-day razzmatazz and inanities of the mainstream press. Journalists working for the PCIJ were responsible for the expos of former President Joseph Estradas unexplained wealth, which led eventually to his downfall.

Television and radio

Terrestrial television networks include GMA (wwww.gmanetwork.com) and ABS-CBN (wwww.abs-cbn.com), offering a diet of histrionic soaps, chat shows and daytime game shows with sexy dancers. Cable television is now widely available in the Philippines, with the exception of some of the most undeveloped rural areas. Most providers carry BBC World, CNN and Australian ABC. At weekends during the season theres American football, baseball and English Premier League football on Star Sports or ESPN. Movie channels include HBO, Cinemax and Star Movies. There are over 350 radio stations in the Philippines, and between them they present a mind-boggling mix of news, sport, music and chitchat. Radio news channels such as DZBB and RMN News AM tend to broadcast in Filipino, but there are dozens of FM pop stations that use English with a smattering of Filipino. The music they play isnt anything special, mostly mellow jazz and pop ballads by mainstream artists. Among the most popular FM stations are Wow FM (103.5MHz) and Crossover (105.1 MHz). A shortwave radio also gives access to the BBC World Service (wwww.bbc.co.uk/worldservice), Radio Canada (wwww.rcinet.ca), Voice of America (wwww.voa.gov) and Radio Australia (wwww.abc.net.au/ra), among other international broadcasters.

Aling Cely, 53, a widow with five children, is becoming blind because of an eye infection which needs immediate operation. She goes to a local radio station and makes apanawagan (appeal) for financial support from good samaritans. Aling Carmens monthly financial support from her contract worker-husband in Saudi Arabia has not come the past four months. To know the whereabouts of her husband, she visited a local radio station which airs "To Saudi with Love." The program enables studio audiences to make free overseas telephone call to their loved ones. The conversation is aired live! Love struck teens exchange love messages, send letters on the air and seek advice for their relationship problems from "Doctor Love" in a radio program called "The Love Clinic." President Joseph Estrada dialogues with the masang Filipino on gut issues and poverty problems through his weekly program, "Jeep ni Erap."

Perhaps no other media channel has touched the lives of ordinary Filipinos as much as the radio. From the traditional panawagans during personal tragedies or natural disasters, the tearjerkers of Tiya Dely Magpayo, knowledge power of Ernie Baron, eccentric health advises from Johnny Midnight and of course, the most requested songs in pop music radio stations. But the power of radio is best dramatized during the 1986 People Power Revolution. This historic event, which led to the overthrow of the Marcos dictatorship, was given impetus with an appeal from Jaime Cardinal Sin Archbishop, of Manila, aired over Radio Veritas, a Catholic radio station, asking freedom loving Filipinos to support then Gen. Fidel V. Ramos and then Defense Minister Juan Ponce Enrile. In response, millions of Filipinos took over EDSA for four days. Millions of Filipinos all over the country followed the developments of the historic event from the clandestine Radyo Bandido anchored by women broadcaster June Keithley. Radio is more than just a media channel to many Filipinos, it is a way of life. It is part of Filipino culture. Even todays so-called Generation X still finds radio "in" despite competition from the Internet and MTV. Consider these: The RX Concert Series features live performances by renowned bands and artists broadcast live from the radio stations studio itself. Generation RX presents viewpoints on various issues from the pop generation who send their pinions via telephone, pager, and recently text messages. Both programs explain why radio listening is still a favorite past time of many young audiences. The fact that radio uses the local language or dialect makes it the most accessible channel to the Filipinomasa. Philippine radio signs on Radio broadcasting started in 1922 when an American businessman in Manila opened three 50-watt radio stations, not for commercial broadcasting but as a demonstration channel for his electrical supply business. Two years later, the first commercial radio stations went on the air: station KZKZ owned by the Radio Corporation of the Philippines, and KZRQ, owned by the Far Eastern Radio, Inc. The oldest existing radio station in the country today is DZRH. It first signed on in 1939 as KZRH. The last two letters of the call station stands for Radio Heacock , after H.E. Heacock, the original owner of the station and one of the largest chains of department stores in the Pacific Rim. Radio programming from the pre-war to the early post-war period was primarily entertainment-oriented and, as expected, "flavoured with colonial productions" including even canned American serials. News and public affairs programming, including government programs, were virtually unheard until a few years before the end of World War II. Advertising of products other than those of the station owners began only in 1939. In 1929, the first provincial radio station, KZRC was established in Cebu City. However, it merely relayed programs originally aired over KZRM in Manila. This Manila-centric programming was to continue up to today. Radio played an important role in keeping the Filipino spirit alive during World War II. The then KZRH broadcasted the " Voice of Freedom" from its transmitter physically transferred in Corregidor. Anchored by Norman Reyes, its stirring broadcast announcing the fall of Bataan in 1942 is a classic in broadcast journalism "Bataan has fallen... But the spirit that made it stand, a beacon to all liberty-loving people of the world, cannot fall." The 1950s saw the introduction of development broadcasting through farm programs. The Philippine Broadcasting System was the pioneer in this area through its school broadcast, features and documentaries on outstanding government programs and news and public affairs. The early years of development broadcasting were difficult since many station managers and advertisers were doubtful of the effectiveness of radio as a medium for information and education.

But by the late 1960s to the 70s, the use of radio for agriculture and rural development became more pronounced. Institutions such as the Department of Agriculture, UP at Los Baos, International Institute for Rural Reconstruction (IIRR), Philippine Rural Reconstruction Movement (PRRM) and the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) were among the advocates of farmcasting and developmental communication. In particular, the information campaign for Masagana 99 launched in 1973 as the countrys rice self-sufficiency program is considered a pioneering "success story" in the use of broadcast media for development. Radio today: A louder voice Radio is now acknowledged as the primary source of news and the most pervasive, persuasive, and credible medium. It reaches 85 to 90 percent of the population with over 25 million sets nationwide. Of the 12 million estimated total number of households nationwide, the number of radio households is 10.2 million. In contrast, estimated households with television set is 8.52 million while estimated households with video cassette recorder is only 3.6 million. Station DZRH has the widest reach. With its satellite capability courtesy of Palapa B-4 which could send signals to the 20 relays scattered all over the Philippine archipelago, the station can cover as much as 97 percent of the entire country. Meanwhile, industry estimates suggest that the average radio listening time is two to three hours a day. According to the National Telecommunication Commission (NTC), there are a total of 629 radio stations nationwide as of 1997, of which, 330 are AM stations and 399 are FM radio stations. Luzon has the most number of total AM and FM radio stations, 257 (123 AM and 134 FM). Mindanao has 235 radio stations 100 AM and 135 FM. Visayas has 182 consisting of 77 AM and 105 FM stations, while Metro Manila has 55 30 AM and 25 FM. Of the 629 stations, only 530 are within the fold of the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas (KBP). In terms of type of service, of the 539 KBP-member stations as of 1998, 488 operate as commercial stations and only 51 as non-commercial stations. Of the latter, 32 are government-owned (31 AM and one FM), 10 are religious (eight AM and two FM stations), seven educational (four AM and three FM), and two military (all AM stations). Most radio stations are part of a broadcast network. The largest network is Radio Mindanao Network, Inc. with 37 radio stations nationwide. Manila Broadcasting Company owns 31 AM and FM stations nationwide, excluding the 100 low power FM stations. Nation Broadcasting Corporation with 29 radio stations nationwide. An interesting development is the growth of community radio stations. In 12 remote communities nationwide, low-powered FM radio stations have been set up since 1991 through the Tambuli Project funded by UNESCO and Danish International Development Agency (DANIDA). These radio stations are owned and operated by the local community members who also produce their own programs, using the very popularKaraoke system ( a sing-along cassette console with loudspeaker). These stations feature developmental messages, especially on health care, environment, and livelihood as well as entertainment. Commercial radio networks are now duplicating the success of the Tambuli project. Manila Broadcasting Corporation (which operates DZRH) has set up 100 low powered radio stations in remote communities nationwide. Each station has a 500-watt transmitter capable of sending a clear signal within a 10 kilometer radius. However, most of the programs aired are still packaged or produced in Manila which reinforces Manila-centric programming rather than promoting local programming. Advancements in telecommunications technology during the past decade have expanded the reach of radio. Some major radio networks such as ABS-CBN Broadcasting (through DZMM) and Manila Broadcasting Company (through its lead station DZRH) are bow linked to the satellite for nationwide and even global coverage. The peoples choice A cursory look into radio programming would explain why radio remains as the medium of choice especially by the Filipino masa.Programming content and format are so diversified that there is always a program suited to the taste of every sector

housewife, students, businessman or entrepreneur, music enthusiast (from pop music to rock and revivals), religious, farmer, sports enthusiast, among others. Since over 90 percent of radio stations are commercial, it is expected that programming is dictated by consumers (or listeners) wants and tastes as measured by the ratings game. The higher the rating, the more advertisers for the program and higher income for the station. Content is dominated by entertainment. AM stations programming usually consists of news and public affairs, public service , soap opera (drama), talk shows which focus on national and local issues or entertainment (movie) trivia. Even news and current affairs programs are interspersed with entertainment or showbiz news as the latter are very popular. One AM station has reformatted its programming thrust to focus on "showbiz tsismis" (movie gossips) ! On the other hand, FM stations are still dominated by music programming. Most provide a variety of music beats although some specialize in jazz, pop songs, rock and even revivals. Public service programs are usually of the panawagan genre. The poor and the sick (or their relatives) are given the chance to "air their plight" on air and ask for donations from civic groups, philantrophic individuals, etc. Publicity for missing and even deceased loved ones are announced for relatives to know. During times of crisis (e.g., typhoons), the public use the radio to inform relatives of their whereabouts and condition. Listeners or studio guests are given the chance to air complaints or grievances against government agencies or are given referrals to appropriate agencies. The more popular news and current affairs shows are those hosted by the so-called "hardhitting commentators" including Noli de Castro, Joe Taruc, Jay Sonza, Ted Failon, Korina Sanchez, Rey Langit, to name a few in a usually no holds-barred discussion of issues. A popular innovation is the use of satire on current issues through such characters as Juan Flavor, Tongressman Atras Abante, Atty. No Case, Mang Tonyo, Card Neil Sin, Lola Sella, etc. Over the past decades, radio has also proven to be an effective development communication channel. There has been significant increase in the coverage of non-sensational topics such as health and nutrition, environment, science and technology, education, women and childrens rights, among others. These topics are either featured in regular programs or in developmental plugs. To encourage and sustain quality programming, the KBP annually confers the Golden Dove Award to outstanding Metro Manila and provincial radio stations/programs in various categories drama, musical variety, news, public affairs, comedy, among others. The popularity and impact of radio is evidenced by the number of radio programs hosted by politicians. Potential candidates are aware of the advantage of name recall for media personalities. Long before an election period, the candidates already project themselves and try to develop loyal followings among their listeners. The self-regulatory framework The broadcast industry operates under the principle of self-regulation. The Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas or KBP, organized in 1973, provides the framework for self-regulation through its radio and television codes. The government recognizes the self-regulatory principle of the KBP "to police its members on matters relating to the enforcement of broadcast media rules and regulations." The KBPs Standards Authority is responsible for monitoring compliance with the KBP Radio and Television Codes. Both codes set program standards for news, public affairs and commentaries, political broadcasts, childrens shows, religious programming, and advertising. It also instituted an accreditation program for radio personalities aimed at upgrading professionalism among broadcasters. KBPs Standards Authority is recognized worldwide as a model in self-regulatory mechanism. Some issues and concerns The Philippine mass media in general is known as the freest and liveliest in the whole of Asia. But it is also criticized for being often irreverent and irresponsible. There have been pressures from various sectors

urging media organizations such as the KBP to impose higher ethical standards and social responsibility among their members. Many sectors perceive "envelopmental" journalism as being prevalent. This refers to the practice of bribing media practitioners (including broadcasters) to get positive media mileage or to down play, if not totally "kill" negative stories. A recent publication, News for Sale by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ), documents the "prices" political candidates have to pay for desired media exposures. In terms of content, media in general are being criticized for being rambunctious, floundering in sensationalism, acrimony and mudslinging. In particular, they deplore the seeming proliferation of so-called tabloid broadcast journalism where radio programs apply the "success formula" of tabloids crimes, sex and gossip broadcasting. Medias penchant for exposes and to defend the underprivileged had cost the lives of many (broadcast) journalists especially those from the provinces. Because of their watchdog function and adversarial stance, many journalists will continue to tread on dangerous grounds. Meanwhile, technological developments are proving to be the most serious challenge to the radio industry. Phono players, reels and cassettes would only do for "jurassic" stations. On-air multiband sound processing or multitract recording will be the technology of choice. Digital and Internet will dominate new broadcast technologies. Radio stations have to retool, i.e., go digital, in order to compete, provide better quality programming, and eliminate of multi-path interference. Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) will offer listeners additional services such as artists information, stock quotes, and sports scores. Satellite systems are transforming the media audience into global audiences whose choices of channels and programs are virtually unlimited. In this new media landscape, how can local radio stations offer better programming? In this age of global village, the threat of cultural homogenization or domination, especially by those who own and control technology, becomes even more real. The interactive and two-way capabilities of modern technologies should be harnessed to the fullest to ensure cultural harmony, integrity, and identity. But this concern applies not only in the global setting but in the national setting as well. For decades, broadcasting in the Philippines has been one-way Manila produces and the rest of the country watches or listens. New technologies now allow for more exchange of images and messages within and across countries.

Race for top FM radio station intensifies

By Pocholo Concepcion Philippine Daily Inquirer First Posted 20:01:00 04/15/2008 Filed Under: Radio, Entertainment (general)

MANILA, Philippines?Fierce competition and an obsession with ratings have driven Metro Manila?s FM radio stations to revamp their programming. For the past several years, a number of these stations have been changing their names??branding? in marketing parlance?to go with the format shift. The former jazz station City Lite is now Jam 88.3, which plays acoustic pop-rock. DMZ (Dance Music Zone) has

mutated into Wave 89.1, which champions R&B. KY 91.5, which played classic rock in the late ?80s, has become Energy, a pop and oldies station. The easylistening, no-DJ, Crossover-sound-alike that was Joey 92.3 first became xFM, which experimented with club music, then settled down with smooth jazz. KC 93.9 is now i-FM but still plays the same mainstream pop. K-Lite 103.5, which used to play alternative rock, switched to easy listening and called itself Heart, and then diverted to contemporary pop as Max FM. And what used to be the eclectic pop sound of Kool 106 has been altered into a jazz-flavored adult contemporary mix now known as Dream FM. Note that two of them, xFM and Max, have changed formats twice within a few months. And at least three of them have changed ownership. Most drastic overhaul But the most drastic overhaul, which seemingly became a protracted struggle and triggered a backlash from loyal listeners, happened recently at 97.1 WLS?formerly known as Campus Radio and which now calls itself Barangay LS. The flagship FM station of GMA Network, LS is directly under the supervision of Mike Enriquez, vice president of Radio GMA. The station actually relaunched itself as Barangay LS on Feb. 14 last year. It was as a move to improve its rating and sales. As Campus Radio, LS was ranked No. 6 out of some 24 stations. A source, who declined to be identified because he was not authorized to talk about the matter, said Enriquez had been attempting to ?tweak? LS? sound after he was hired by Menardo Jimenez in 1995 to oversee GMA?s AM and FM operations. Enriquez allegedly wanted LS to divert from its CHR (contemporary hit radio) or Top 40 format to a ?more masa? pop sound. As a result, the station started playing more dance tunes and OPM ballads. It also launched the Campus Radio Greetings and Message Center, which allowed listeners to talk on-air. The shift was an instant hit. Ratings improved and by 1997, LS was said to have shot to No. 1. But ratings do not necessarily translate to sales, the source contended. Reviving the sound The station?s marketing department reportedly persuaded Enriquez to revive LS? Top 40 sound, which had already gained a strong fan base among high school and college students from middle-income families. This was also what advertisers preferred, said the source. The source claimed Enriquez again instigated changes in LS? song playlist in 2003, which unfortunately didn?t strike the right chord among many listeners. But in 2007, the source said that Enriquez gathered the LS staff in a meeting and announced the station?s reformat from Campus Radio to Barangay LS. The DJs, who had to assume more street-friendly monikers, were also asked to do their spiels in Tagalog and crack jokes. In January this year, all but two of the announcers were fired and replaced by young jocks from RGMA provincial stations. Some of the dismissed announcers were recently hired by the former 99.5 RT, which is now called 99.5 Campus Radio. ?The change of image from Campus Radio to Barangay LS was successful, but it needed a surge, a further boost to widen the audience,? said Enriquez in an interview at his GMA office. ?The decision was to bring in new blood,

a group of disc jockeys who would remain consistent with the Barangay LS image.? New format, DJs Enriquez belied allegations that he was solely responsible for changing the LS format and axing the DJs. ?There were a lot of research, brainstorming and discussions ? consultations with our advertising partners ? It was a collective effort. We needed a radical shift in image, a brand name that would immediately establish the fact that from one end of the listening spectrum, which is upscale, yuppies, etc., we were shifting to the mass audience, which is younger?? He added that LS needed the change ?to fortify the barangay image and sound? because that?s what radio is all about, the sound and the image, that?s what makes radio stations.? Before heading GMA?s radio operations, Enriquez was VP of Radio Mindanao Network (RMN), whose Manila FM station, DWKC, proclaimed itself in the late ?80s as ?The No. 1 pop music station in Metro Manila,? a feat that was attributed to DJs who spoke Tagalog and also cracked jokes, though in a more spontaneous manner at the time. But it?s 2008 and the city?s top mainstream pop station is 90.7 Love Radio. It is said to bring in a monthly advertising revenue of P13 million. It?s the kind of money that any station owner would certainly want to make, and which reportedly posed a challenge to Enriquez. He has vowed to make LS No. 1 soon. There are, however, some very crucial factors that Enriquez has to deal with squarely. Love Radio, for instance, has the wacky lady DJ Nicole Hyala who talks and cracks jokes in a pioneering style that everyone else is desperately copying?with disastrous results. Nicole Hyala on LS? Has LS found its own Nicole Hyala? ?No, not yet,? replied Enriquez. ?Who knows, she may be with us one of these days. Nicole Hyala on LS ? We?re offering career paths to people, because we are a TV network, so the horizon and the ceiling of anybody on radio become much wider and higher here.? If that sounded like an offer to Nicole Hyala, it merely confirmed Enriquez?s own description that the competition in radio has become ?ruthless.? But if there?s at least one home-grown program that LS is proud to have launched, it?s the advice segment ?Talk to Papa? which airs 1-3 p.m. daily. It was first heard on LS? Davao FM station and reportedly caused controversy due to its sexually suggestive content. ?The local bishop wrote our provincial station and complained about it,? said Enriquez. ?Local government employees come late for work because of it ? So we said, ?Let?s do this in LS Manila?? and now it sizzles!? The nagging question is, has such a program convinced advertisers to go to LS big time, enough to push it to the top of the ratings? Enriquez did not give concrete numbers, but nevertheless sounded upbeat: ?Revenue is picking up. We don?t have research numbers yet. Nagpa-rank kami ng aming internal research, not the industry ? like Nielsen or Radio Research Council ? Magpapa-rank kami ng post-change research, we?ll do that in a couple of months.? Consistency, creativity And yet amid this raging battle for ratings, how does one explain the prominence of Magic 89.9?a station that?s supposedly nowhere in the Top 10, but which is said to pull in a neat P8 million in advertising billings monthly? In the end, it seems to boil down to how consistent and creative these stations handle everything that comes out of

their transmitters. For most listeners, the music is what matters most. And how does LS define its new sound? ?Basta ang rule, we should be playing well-known, strong, familiar hits,? said Enriquez. ?When people listen to 97.1 at any time of the day, they will hear a familiar hit that they know, can sing and hum, relate to, reminisce with... ?Yun ang rule.? As Inquirer Entertainment pressed him whether that meant there would no longer be any room for new local talents like bands, or if breaking unsigned artists as LS ?exclusives? translated to breaking the rule, Enriquez made a slight turnaround and said the rules are flexible: ?Any song, any piece of music, any element that would be consistent with the format, we will play.?

THEY say August is Buwan ng Wika. And when it comes to Pambansang Wika my opinion on the matter is not something everybody will appreciate. Because for me, the language they refer to as Filipino is nothing more than Tagalog. If you ask me what Filipino is (or what it should be), its not that language you hea r in noontime variety shows, or from FM DJs who do not know how to speak decent English. For me, Filipino is whatever your regional dialect is. If you are Cebuano, Bisaya is your Filipino. If you are from Aklan, Akeanon is your Filipino. I am from Iloilo, Hiligaynon is my Filipino. We are a country of various dialects, lets embrace that. And do not force upon our students a large chunk of school time for Tagalog Filipino subjects which will not be of any relevant use for them when they become professiona ls. Its a stubborn opinion, I know. But that is beside the point. Arguing what the Filipino language should be is such a complex issue that is still being debated by great Filipino scholars. I am no professor nor am I some kind of scholar, so I limit my stand to what is merely opinion. I often frown over how educational modules are over-promoting Tagalog Filipino subjects to the point of overshadowing the importance of English. And I sometimes feel annoyed by those people who equate those who push for Tagalog Filipino with being nationalistic, as if they equate the use of English as the opposite. Sure, Jose Rizal has made some nasty remarks about people who never acknowledge the native language (he did not specify that Visayans should force upon themselves the Tagalog dialect), but then again, Rizal did not have a whole bundle of Filipino Balarila Subjects to slow down his learning process for other sciences. And bear in mind that Rizal was World-Class because he was a cunning linguist. The positively unique thing about us Filipinos is that among Asian countries, we can dare to be so arrogant to claim that we are the most fluent English-speaking people in Asia. And we can do several accents in English too. We can do British and American English. Blame it on the fact that the last 60 years of our history, we have been subjected to English via American Indoctrination, American Education, and Mass Media Indoctrination (TV, movies, radio). But what is most impressive about us is that we are taught proper English in our schools (at least for the earlier Filipino generations anyway). I am talking about English that does not have the crooked and corny accents of the Americans or the bizarre tongue-twisters of the British. We are taught textbook English: proper and formal. That is why countless numbers of South Koreans fly to the Philippines regularly because they want to learn English from us Filipinos. A vast number of Filipinos are employed in Call Centers because these people are good in speaking English. And a great number of Filipinos who work abroad have a better advantage in their profession, compared to other races, solely because of being knowledgeable in speaking English. (On the other hand, let me exclude those corny

individuals who speak English not in the right place and not in the right time; those who speak English only to assert some manner of pa-sosyal status, pa-impress and hinambog. They are an entirely different breed of animals) Whether you like it or not, English language is one factor that makes Filipinos world class. English makes Filipinos range from better to great. And Id frown on those who want to diminish the teaching of English only to give way to three or more school years in High School and College of Tagalog Filipino. If I found myself back in High School or College, I would rather use the number of years devoted to Tagalog Filipino subjects in trying to learn other major Filipino dialects instead, like Bisaya or Ilocano. That way, I could use that knowledge if ever I find myself having a job or having a vacation in places like Cebu, or any other region in the Philippines. Tagalog Filipino is not a very difficult language to practically master. Five or six years in Elementary is enough, one or two in High School; to go more than that is OA. Remember some 20 years ago when FM radio DJs were impressively fluent in English? In the past 10 or 15 years, Tagalog Filipino has been having a stronger push towards education and even in professions. Others view it as a good thing, its Filipinization, some sort of strengthening of national identity via language. But can we strengthen our National Identity merely on language? Shouldnt we be focusing on more relevant areas where National Identity can be more concrete? Culture, food, art and many other resources. Relying on language as a source of National Identity is a lazy attempt on what seems to function only as a superficial faade of National Identity. The way I see it, people should safeguard what makes them great. As I mentioned above, the common denominator for what makes Filipinos world class is our being Educated with English. In my opinion (for now, at least), English is our Goldmine.

Top 10 FM Radio Stations

There are 28 FM stations in Metro Manila constantly vying for a huge slice of the advertising budget and wide listenership from the 3.75 million households in Metro Manila, where television is predominant. Even given this statistics, radio remains a favorite and portable medium for entertainment in the Philippines.

97.1 Barangay LS
DWLS-FM 97.1 is a Manila FM station of Radio GMA Network (RGMA). The last two letters of the stations call sign LS was derived from Loreto Stewart, wife of the late Robert Uncle Bob Stewart, the former station owner. Formerly tagged as the campus radio and maintaining presence around campuses in Metro Manila, it changed its format to a more mass-based programming last 14 February 2007 to it current Barangay LS Forever format through the initiative of Mike Enriquez.

NU 107

NU 107 has consistently been a favorite station of rock music enthusiasts since its inception in 1987. It is the flagship station of Progressive Broadcasting Corporation. The station maintains a close association with recording companies and bands and provided the venue for Filipino rock bands to have consistent airplay. From 1994, DWNU continues to host the annual NU Rock Music Awards to honor the achievements of Filipino rock groups who made inroads into the local and international music scenes.

101.9 For Life

DWRR-FM is an FM station of broadcast network ABS-CBN. The trend for songs with a wider mass appeal spurred the management of the station to change its format to pop music and dubbed it All the Hits, All the Time (1996). Two years after, it changed its tagline to For Life, before re-launching the station as Tambayan 101.9 in November 2009, still continuing to play international and OPM music for the massbased audience.

90.7 Love Radio

For years, DZMB-FM, Love Radio has been a consistent top-rated FM radio station in Metro Manila. The station is part of the Manila Broadcasting Network. Love Radio plays love songs and top 40 and contemporary hits that enjoy a very wide listenership among mature female and male audiences. The station added Tagalog-speaking live announcers and added current hits to its programming to broaden its audience appeal.

101.1 Yes FM
Image:Yesfm.jpg The current 101.1 Yes FM used to be Kiss-FM owned by Makati Broadcasting Network before it was purchased by Manila Broadcasting Company and turned into DWST, which provided showbiz gossips as well as music. In December 1998, it was re-launched as 101.1 Yes FM with an easy listening and adult

contemporary programming which is similar to its sister station, Love Radio. In 2002, it launched its current tagline of Automatic Yan literally meaning that when you listen to the radio, you automatically switch to 101.1.

96.3 WRock
96.3 WRock was the flagship Metro Manila station of United Broadcasting Network that enjoyed a huge audience base with its niche programming of easy listening and adult contemporary hits dubbed as lite rock. WRock approached its station programming to seamlessly mix stations IDs, product commercials and music roster. It was bought by network giant Manila Broadcasting in May 2009 and was re-launched as 96.3 Easy Rock, while still maintaining its basic programming features.

Home Radio 97.9

Following the success of easy listening, adult contemporary programming success of other stations like Mellow Touch, WRock, Love Radio, and the rest, Home Radio 97.9 maintained a no-DJ approach to tits programming. With this, Home Radio has set itself apart from the rest of the stations who switch to live disc jockeys to create more mass appeal.

Magic 89.9

Magic 89.9 is one of the FM stations of Quest Broadcasting, playing pop music for the younger market. It was launched in 1986. With the proliferation of station gimmicks within the FM radio station community, Magic 89.9 launched Love Notes with one of its original disc jockeys, Joe DMango. The gimmick became an instant hit particularly with the female office workers. The 15-minute segment offered counseling and consistently enjoyed top ratings in its time block.

Mellow 94.7
The station was launched during the Martial Law days in 1973 with taped programming, with no announcers and taped voiceovers done by Mike Enriquez (now with GMA Network). Mellow 94.7, playing easy listening music that span the decades, was consistently ranked number one in radio station surveys and was a fierce rival of Love Radio, having almost the same type of programming. It switched to a younger type of music for broader appeal as it began to touch base with listeners through a series of onair and off-air promotions.

91.5 Energy FM
91.5 Energy FM used to be DWKY-FM, owned by Mabuhay Broadcasting System. From playing classic rock hits from the 1980s to the 1990s. It was acquired by Ultrasonic Broadcasting System in 1998 and changed its programming to pop and novelty music before it was re-launched in 2003 as 91.5 Energy FM with live jocks speaking mainly in Tagalog and making famous the tagline, Hi, Panga and Me Ganon launching the popularity of one of its morning jocks, Mr. Fu.

http://en.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Top_10_FM_Radio_Stations

Radio is still the most popular source of news and entertainment in the Philippines, despite stiff competition from television and the increasing popularity of the internet. The most powerful radio networks blanket the entire country with the help of relay transmitters in provincial cities and affiliate stations that relay much of their programming. The Philippines has nearly 1,000 radio stations broadcasting on FM and Medium Wave. Nearly all of them are linked by ownership or affiliation to one of the countrys national broadcasting networks. This means that even small radio stations in even the most remote locations can relay national news bulletins and other networked programming live alongside their own locally produced programmes. The largest single radio network in the Philippines is Manila Broadcasting Companys Radyo Natin. It consists of more than 100 FM radio stations across the country. The Radyo Natin stations broadcast about 10 hours of national network programming per day as well as local programmes and news bulletins. Networked radio programming in the Philippines is usually delivered to relay stations by satellite feed. In many countries of the world, Medium Wave or AM radio broadcasts have been eclipsed by FM, which offers clearer sound. However, Medium Wave offers the advantage of a wider broadcast coverage area around each transmitter. The most powerful Medium Wave or AM transmitters can be heard clearly several hundred km away, whereas the reach of FM transmitters is usually less than 100 km. In the Philippines, whose population is scattered over more than 7,000 islands, Medium Wave radio stations continue to command large audiences. They are particularly listened to for news and talk radio programmes, even in urban areas, where a choice of FM alternatives is available. In towns and cities, where electricity is dependable, television has become more popular than radio, especially in the afternoon and evening. However, early morning radio news bulletins still command a large audience in both urban and rural

areas. Filipinos also rely heavily on radio for breaking news throughout the day. Two major broadcasting groups have created news TV channels as spin-offs from their flagship talk radio stations. This has resulted in a natural confluence between radio and TV for the delivery of news and information. ABS-CBN has developed a cable TV channel called DZMM TeleRadyo to reflect the content of its national Medium Wave news station DZMM Radyo Patrol. The Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC) has meanwhile created a spin-off cable news TV channel called RHTV from its national news radio station DZRH. FM music stations are popular with young people throughout the day and night. The National Commission on Culture and the Arts (NCCA) estimates that 85% of the 12 million households in the Philippines have a radio set. It reckons that most Filipinos listen to the radio for an average of two to three hours a day. More than 90% of all radio stations in the Philippines are privately-owned and commercial in nature. Radio is dominated by seven large broadcasting groups, most of which also have interests in television. All of them operate at least one national flagship radio station on FM and another on Medium Wave. Many of these flagship stations achieve a nationwide audience by distributing their main programmes to a network of owned and affiliated relay partners around the country.

Why Monster Radio? Everyone has a nickname. Ours is Monster Radio. We chose monster because were a pop music station, and we wanted to give listeners an idea of the hugeness, the impact, the appeal of our programming. RX 93.1 gives you the monster hits, the monster events, the monster talent. <back to top> Why RX 93.1? This has something to do with our history. We inherited the call letters RX from the stations former owners, and they chose them to indicate that RX music is prescription music just what the doctor ordered. Rated eXcellent, so to speak. Still holds, doesnt it? <back to top> Who does own RX 93.1? DWRX 93.1 Mhz, or Monster Radio RX 93.1, is the Manila radio station of Audiovisual Communicators Incorporated (ACI), a duly registered Filipino broadcasting corporation and a member of the Kapisanan ng Mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP), the national broadcasting organization. <back to top> Who runs RX 93.1? Our President is the suave and good-looking Chito Barreiro. Our Vice-President for Operations and Programming is the suave and good-looking Raffy Barreiro. Our Vice-President for Business Development is the suave and good-looking Antonio Barreiro Jr. Our Vice-President for Finance is the suave and good-looking Butch Jimenez. (You can tell this was written by employees badly in need of a raise.) RX 93.1 is basically divided into several departments. Of relevant interest to the listeners are the Production Department, headed by the suave and good-looking Program Director Louie Dizon; the Marketing Department, headed by the aforementioned suave and good-looking President Chito Barreiro; and the Administration Department, headed by the suave and gorgeous Station Manager Divine Pascual. <back to top> Who decides what music gets to be played on the station? The Program Director, Louie D, in consultation with the air staff (thats the djs) and the VP for Operations and Programming, Raffy Barreiro, keeping the stations format in mind. Thats why you dont hear certain novelty hits on RX (much to the dismay of certain RX djs who shall remain unnamed). Youll have to turn to a different station for that. <back to top> What is this format thing? Simply put, the format is the style of programming of a particular station. Its what goes out on the air. In Monster Radio RX 93.1s case, its CHR contemporary hits radio, which means we play the current hits, the songs you want to hear until you dont want to hear them anymore, or only want to hear them from time to time. This format is geared to a particular audience. <back to top> So what is RX 93.1s target audience?

Since everyone wants to hear the hits everyone with a youthful spirit, that is Monster Radio RX 93.1s primary audience are listeners from 15 to 30 years of age. We specifically target liste ners in the middle-to-upper income bracket (ABC income classes). In other words, RX 93.1s main audience are upper high school and college students, and young professionals. Our secondary audience are older listeners from 30 to 40 years of age, and younger listeners from 9 to 15. To service the former and because great songs just wont go away - we have Monsters Riot programming on Wednesdays (hits from the Eighties, Nineties, and 2000s), and specials such as Back to the Eighties <back to top> What is RX 93.1s area of coverage? Generally, the greater Manila area and nearby provinces, though we can be heard from as far north as Baguio to as far south as Quezon. We can also be heard worldwide through live audio streaming on the net. <back to top> Who are the air staff? People authorized by RX 93.1 (and the KBP, meaning theyre legitimate broadcasters) to go on the air regularly. At present, they are (in the order you hear them throughout the day and throughout the week) Chico Garcia, Delamar, Jude Rocha, Gelli, Louie D (Program Director), Christi, Igi Guerrero, Francesca, Rico Robles, Danielle, Hazel, Gino Quillamor, Dr. Love Tom Alvarez, and Raffy Reyes. <back to top> When did RX 93.1 start (History of RX 93.1)? RX 93.1, under the present management and ownership (Audiovisual Communicators Incorporated), was born on August 23, 1983 (our birthday!). Two days after Ninoy got assassinated, but we had nothing to do with that. Subtract 1983 from the current year, and you get how old we are. But the station had been operating under different call letters before that (see Why RX 93.1? above), which means theres been a 93.1 on Philippine FM radio since the mid-Seventies. In 1983, the station adopted a pop music format and debuted as Music City RX 93, which went to number one in the surveys in the mid-Eighties. A fallen radio tower and changing audience preferences compelled the station to move from its Makati offices to its present location in Ortigas Center in 1987. As Light Rock RX 93, the station established light rock programming in the Philippines. In October 1990, the RX 93.1 searched its soul and reached self-enlightenment, recognizing and accepting its true identity as an energetic, innovative, creative-minded pop station. In a word, monster. It became Monster Radio RX 93, evolving in a few years time to become Th e First Creative Pop Station Monster Radio RX 93.1 (we had to add the .1 because radio tuners had turned digital.) Our current slogan is Manilas Hottest Monster Radio RX 93.1. <back to top> Does RX 93.1 have any provincial stations? Yes, we do. Monster Radio BT 105.9 (Cebu) and Monster Radio 99.5 (Davao). They are pop music stations pretty much like Monster Radio RX 93.1 Manila, but geared to the tastes and needs of the youthful listeners of their respective locations. In the past decade, they have grown to become some of the most popular stations in the South. <back to top> How do I find RX 93.1?

Duh. Look for 93.1 MHz on your tuner. Were an FM station, okay, so you wont find us beside your favorite soap opera station. Not-so-duh. There is an imaginative way to get RX, and thats through the net. (live audio streaming). Check the front page of our website. <back to top> No, where do I find RX 93.1? Oh, you mean our location! The station, offices, and transmitter are located at the 17th floor of the Strata 2000 building on F. Ortigas Jr. Road (formerly Emerald Avenue), Strata 2000, Ortigas Center, Pasig City. Dont park illegally or you get tire-locked. You have to pay P 1,500 to get your car back. Theyre very good at that in Ortigas Center. <back to top> Is the station open to visitors 24 hours? No. Much as wed like to accommodate Dr. Loves hordes of female admirers, we have to restrict visiting hours from 9 am to 8 pm, Monday to Saturday. Prizes and tickets may be claimed only during office hours, 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday, and 9 am to 12 noon on Saturday, unless otherwise announced on the air. <back to top> How do I make a request? The first strategy is to try to get through the Monster Hotline 631-93-93. (Please do not call the office numbers, should you have them, at ungodly hours to make a request or greeting. Your call will be answered by surly personnel who will give you no quarter.) Failing that, you can text the Monster Textlines 29761931 [send directly to 29761931] and Text Jock 2299 [for this you have to text RX(space)(your message) and send to 2299.] You can also get in touch with the djs and their respective programs Friendster, MySpace, Multiply, Face Book, and YM (Yah oo!

Much as were very open to new talent, there are only a few openings to go around! (And were talking over a period of years.) But, as they say, nothing succeeds like persistence, and if youve got it, youve got it. Bring your bio-data and demo cassette tape or cd to the station and pray a thousand novenas. We may also opt to give you an on-the-spot recorded audition. Another route, if youre a college student, is to join Radio 1, our on-air (as well as hands-on training) program devoted to budding student broadcasters. Its the first pool we dip into when we are in search of substitute djs and newscasters. How to join Radio 1? You bring your bio-data to the station and get an audition. Still another route, if you think youve got what it takes to become the Next RX DJ, is to join our radio reality show, Radio Idol, usually held in the third quarter of the year. <back to top> What makes Monster Radio RX 93.1 different from other stations? The hottest hits. The finest on-air staff. The highest level of writing and production. Creativity. Passion. Market sensitivity. Best FM Station We can go on and on about this, but just listen. Its all there for you to hear. And enjoy. <back to top>
