Radio Jingles for Number 1 Rated Stations

Leave a comment

 

Radio jingles or radio imaging, for the technical people imaging is the keyword, but mind you.

Most of the lay people in the industry are most used to the term radio jingles and they refer both to sung and spoken radio imaging.

But whatever term you use, imaging is essential. If you are a top rated, number 1 radio station, how many times can you say number 1?

In fact, when you just say “WERE THE NUMBER 1 STATION” on your sweepers, eventually it will lose it’s meaning.

That is why at some point in timer, WHTZ Z100 New York dropped the slogan NEW YORKS NUMBER 1 HIT MUSIC STATION in favor with New Yorks Hit Music Station.

Here are a few other ways to say you are number 1

  1.  Number 1 means you are always on top, your number 1 radio
  2.  The music just feels good, your on the number 1
  3.  Hit music belongs here, on your number 1 station

“But you still mentioned the phrase number 1”?

Stay calm! You can replace that with your station name.

They point here is to use phrases to build up to the number 1 positioning. Explain in simple terms why your station is number 1.

It does not have to be about your station, it can be about your listeners, your music.

That is the secret of effective radio imaging, don’t repeat the same words, the same message. Be creative and find new ways to say the same thought.

Papa Dudut of Barangay LS 97.1 Manila Started Doing This On His YouTube Channel Because of This

1 Comment

People nowadays listen to radio, not just on radio apps, forget cellphonse. Well yes, in the provinces they are a staple.

But online, especially among OFWs, it’s not all about websites and apps.

They listen to radio on YouTube!

The most popular content on radio is no longer music, when you are talking about the internet domain. It’s those non-music based content, the talk based shows like love letters, on air callins and what not.

And if your radio station does not provide that kind of content to your online audience, people will find a way.

To be fair, Barangay LS 97.1 has on its website an RSS or podcast of its latest episodes of their talk based shows.

They also have mobile apps for iOS and Android. But who wants to have an app for every station? When you can listen to them in one place?

YouTube is that place. People upload recorded radio shows especially the Barangay Love Stories and Wanted Sweetheart.

They become so popular, that these YouTube contents have more views than those from official radio station channels.

So Papa Dudut, anchor of Barangay Love Stories decided to upload episodes of his shows on his YouTube channel.

It’s tricky though, there is a reason why fm stations don’t even bother live streaming or uploading their on air content to YouTube.

It is because of the copyright ID protection of the platform.

Shows like Barangay Love Stories while it is mostly talk based, also plays music in the background, that mushy sentimental background music will get copyright IDed by YouTube and will be reported to authorities and as a result the video will be taken down.

Which is why radio DJs, take it upon themselves to post it and but clear them out first of any potential copyright problems.

It is time consuming, radio stations don’t have much manpower to do it.

What they are up against to though is the democratization of uploading content to YouTube. There are already established YouTube channels out there that post Barangay LS content with much more subscribers, so there is a lot of catching up to do.

UNLESS!

Barangay LS starts to implement copyright protection to its radio shows, so they can take down those who upload their shows other than them.

They don’t just adlib on the air, they act and they can act.

And this is what separates them from the DJs of Love and MOR.

Sure, they also have live radio drama, but nothing beats the spontaneity and creativity of the iFM DJs.

So if you are a budding DJ, don’t just invest on clothes and make up or a book full of pooled jokes, be ready to act and act effectively.

Leave a comment

DJ Chacha is really known for her blunt, no nonsense advise to listeners on the air.

The award-winning radio personality has another ace up her sleeve with a new segment called Hulihin Mo Chacha.

Come to think of it as a form of phone prank. Listeners usually how have problems with their partners call Chacha and make her to call the person in question.

Chacha’s aim is to somehow resolve whatever was the problem. But the idea is that if the partner is cheating, Chacha makes the person confess.

There are many instances and situations, but the premise is that DJ Chacha makes it a point to catch the fish by its mouth.

Where to buy and download Morning Show Radio Imaging and Production Elements

Audio Leave a comment

Radio stations in Asia, Particularly in the South East, like in the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore. Stations here have unique needs when it comes to their radio imaging and production for the morning block.

It’s a multi-culture approach and there is no one size fits all imaging service that fits the needs of imaging and morning show producers.

Sure, there are several updating services out there. But often times they are tailored and more often than not, sorry to use this but “left-overs” from already aired productions in major networks.

Now what to do:

1.) Create your own sounds. Your spring board is your listeners. Whatever format you have, start with the listeners in mind.

You need a new promo or intro for your station’s morning show? You don’t need to use the most expensive production service out there. Use sounds that are relevant to your listeners. Listener clips, and use voices of your morning jocks, it’s a no brainer.

2.) But you still need FX right? Go for libraries that intended and designed for morning shows. These FX collections contain relevant audio elements that grab listeners attention. Not just bangs, the booms and the swooshes, but drops, clips and sound bytes that are morning show friendly.

One such collection of morning show imaging and production FX are the Morning Freqz Volumes 1 and 2.

Here have a listen to the demo and contact the site on how to get this for your station

Honest Review Bluetooth Headphones Miijiaer X20 Wireless Earbuds with Microphone Noise Cancelling Earphones on Amazon

Gallery Leave a comment

What I really like about this pair of Bluetooth Headphones Miijiaer X20 Wireless Earbuds is that it is alrelady Bluetooth 4.1 compatible. What this means is that you are ahead of the technology cycle, 5 to 10 years ahead to be exact.

So whatever new technology that comes in the next few years you are sure that your pair of tetherless ear pieces will support devices even the next iPhone.

Bluetooth 4.1 also means more sound quality, because it is able to carry more sound information from the source of your sound for example like a smartphone to your earbuds.

Now of course, you cannot talk quality without talking about battery life.

This beastie right here will only charge for 1.5 hours and it is going to be great for 6 to 8 hours.

Other earpieces take about 2 hours, I don’t know why they are called fast charging.

Now, when you say noise cancelling, what really comes to mind are those big bulk over the ear types, but this one can. Yes, you read it right.

It is possible because of the CVC 6.0 mechanism. Now, this is useful not only during music listening but for taking calls, even if you are out and about a busy street.

Not to mention of course these Bluetooth Headphones Miijiaer X20 Wireless Earbuds are comfortable to wear, using high grade materials.

And one of the important things I look into tetherless earphones, good controls. Yes, physical control are tough.

Take a look at what is inside the box.

Listen to MOR 101.9 For Life Manila Live Streaming Audio, Playing Catch Up on TuneIn

Leave a comment

DWRR MOR 101.9 is playing catch up with the rest of the FM stations in Metro Manila. They are finally streaming their audio via TuneIN.

Just this year, MOR 101.9 revamped their official website to make it compliant with the mobile first and mobile friendly guidelines of Google.

It still broadcasts a video feed on their website, but until recently, their audio streaming is only available via TFC.tv, either through a cable subscription or online.

In the recent years, the Lopez-owned company lets you listen to MOR stations using iWanTV in the Philippines, but that was the restriction, you can only listen to their station and regional sister stations using their own app.

ABS likes to create a wall garden of all its services, especially with their TV or video content.

But then they learned a hard lesson about opening up.

See, their rivals like Love Radio, Yes FM have their own websites and apps too, but they also let their listeners stream their stations via third party, directory-curator platforms like TuneIN.

ABS realized that listeners especially Filipinos abroad do not like the idea of having to pay a monthly fee just to listen to a free-to-air FM station that is supported by advertisements.

Love Radio, Wish FM and Yes The Best! are among the most listened to stations online. And MOR had to do something about it, and finally they gave in.

But not totally.

While it can be heard on TuneIn, it is only available via mobile and you cannot stream the station on desktop.  It is also not clear if this option is available to listeners outside the Philippines.

Leave a comment

The station launched in November 2017 as part of the Philippines revamp of its government broadcast facilities.

Airing on 87.5 mHz FM1 is the country’s flagship CHR Top 40 station which will soon open stations in Cebu and Davao.

Using the call letters DWFO, Carlo Jose who used to be the production head at Magic 89.9 is leading the FM1 network.

FM1 will be broadcasting along its sister station FM2 on 104.3 which plays Classic Hits. Its sister stations are RP1 or Radio Pilipinas 738 on AM, RP2 918 kHZ, all of which operate under its mother network PBS (Philippine Broadcasting Service).

Sonny B, who used to be at Red Hot Mix FM in Davao is an appointee of Presidential Communications Operations Office Martin Andanar as the PBS Director General.

FM1 was chosen as the name as it is the first dial point in the country’s FM band. It is also a nod to BBC Radio 1 in the UK, being the official government station.

FM1 plays mostly foreign Top 40 or CHR songs, and select OPM songs that fit the format.

In November, there was a wide discussion as college radio stations who used the 87.5 frequency were not notified of the government takeover.

On May 9, 2018, the station closed its DJ hiring window notifying applicants that they are no longer accepting applications.

FM1 is commercial free just like BBC Radio 1. Listen at FM1.ph

Radio Broadcast Gear: TONOR Professional Studio Condenser Microphone

Leave a comment

The XRL to 3.5mm condenser mouthpiece embraces the demanding complete electronic circuit control and gold-plate stomach case.

With a decent cardioid polar pickup design, high yield and low self-commotion work, the receiver can precisely repeat even the most unpretentious sound.

Get Tonor Microphone here

It is reasonable particularly for studios, recording,broadcasting and so forth.

Note:

1.When associate the podcasting condenser mouthpiece with workstation, please interface the PC to electrical outlet(5V Voltage or 48 volt ghost control). The amplifier could be utilized alone when associate with work station.

2.Please reduction the volume and keep an adequate separation between the mouthpiece and the speaker to abstain from yelling sound.

It would be ideal if you put the mouthpiece far from the enhancer to abstain from recording clamor because of speaker.

3.To keep up the affectability and nature of sound repeating, abstain from presenting it to dampness and extraordinary temperatures.

4.Maximum 5cm thickness for table cinch

Truly, I requested this alcoholic one night when it was on special. When it came via the post office, I was really keen on setting it up and in the wake of playing with volume settings, I am in reality entirely awed. Fresh, Clear and at a decent volume I have zero grievances over all VOIP stages and diversions alike. Easy to set up, hardest part was endeavoring to locate a decent spot around my work area for the blast arm. At the cost point, I observe this setup to be a take. Incredible quality and sound, I am satisfied with my inebriated self making this buy.

I purchased 4 add up to, one had an issue with apparition control not driving up. I returned and requested another one without issue. I utilize these to record my podcast Inventing Entrepreneurs. We’re on YouTube, SoundCloud, iTunes and stitcher on the off chance that you need to see our sound quality or go to inventingentrepreneurs.com . I recorded with boldness (free) and utilized snappy basic channels, for example, commotion diminishment and pressure to get an astonishing sound at the cost. Incredible item and I value the administration!

This is a better than average mic set, I particularly cherish that this one accompany a work area brace, the other mic I got before did exclude that. The nature of the mic is really great, certainly miles superior to my workstation’s mic which is the reason I needed to get this. I need to have a go at making recordings for youtube with voice over work when indicating preparing formulas and a decent mic set up is an unquestionable requirement. I truly cherish how l can change the stand so l can put it away when not being used. It wasn’t difficult to put the clasp on the edge of the table either, fairly straight forward sincerely. I like that l don’t need to introduce any driver to be utilize it.All l need to do is connect it to and turn it on and it’s good to go. Everything came bundled conveniently and securely and I had no issues, I’m very satisfied with this mic set.

I don’t know how why this mic has such a large number of awful audits, presumably on the grounds that they utilize the USB it accompanies and don’t combine with a legitimate power supply. In the event that you spend the additional $20 for a power supply you won’t be baffled with this mic cherish it sounds awesome extremely clear and boisterous.

iFM 93.9 Breaks The Mold Once Again with Unique Evening Programming – Horror!

Leave a comment

Yes, while other stations are cashing on the love advice format, which saturates most of the afternoon and late evening blocks on radio, DWKC iFM and its nationwide network breaks from the pack.

Their take on the primetime evening is not the mushy, cheese give your listeners advice attack, instead they adopt a horror format.

With the program-segment Takutin Mo Ako – anchor personality Pakito Jones reads letters from listeners that share their horrifying experiences.

The program is sprinkled-complete with production value, special effects, scoring, it’s a one-man band and Pakito Jones pulls it off.

Hats off again to iFM for innovating.

Great job to Van Omega and the rest of the RMN FM Division.
