When it comes to masa stations in Cebu, 97.1 Lupig Sila (ABS-CBN), 99.5 Nindota Ah (RGMA), 91.5 Hot FM (MBC) and 93.9 iFM (RMN) or the Big 4 come to mind first. But aside from Hot FM, everyone knows MBC had other stations running such as Easy Rock (formerly Yes FM) and Love Radio.
Love Radio is MBC’s flagship Hot AC station in the country, so it was surprising to find out that during the last few years, Love Radio went low profile in the airwaves of Sugbu. Guess, the name does not always guarantee a top rating.
But in the recent months, when Love Radio revamped its programming to conform with its mother station in Manila, updated its lineup of personalities,97.9 Love Radio is picking up listenership faster, which now shakens the established Big 4 of Cebu. Surprisingly, DYBU the legal identity of Love Radio Cebu has been around since the 1950s. In 1975, DYBU moved from AM to FM band. Continue reading 97.9 Love Radio Cebu Listenership Picks Up
Or probably, you’re not noticing it. But your listeners could be sick of listening to the same jingles that you have been airing for the past 10 years. Just like the number 1 song on the chart, your jingles’ popularity will also eventually fade out.
So what is a worn out jingle. First, let’s take a look at what it’s not. It’s not the same as your favorite worn out pair of jeans. Worn out jingles are not actually the main problem, but they are only symptoms of an even more serious condition.
1. A PD who can’t get over his favorite 10-year old jingle package.
2. Station owner who is either tight on budget or just don’t think spending more money on jingles is a necessity.
3. Station that doesn’t have an imaging director.
4. Station that does have an imaging director but isn’t functioning.
5. Station that channels all its efforts to contests, music programming and others but less or no consideration on imaging.
6. A PD who thinks that modern jingles are noisy.
7. A PD who thinks that the only way to create a jingle is to have voice guy read the station slogan and the station name, then put some lame FX behind it.
8. A PD who thinks that their station imaging doesn’t need a constant update.
9. A PD who thinks he is the only one fit to voice their station.
10. A PD who doesn’t realize he now lives in the 21st century.
There might actually be more causes, but the point of this is that if you tire your jingles, you are also tiring your listeners’ ears. Refreshing your jingles is as important as refreshing your playlist.
The diagnosis is clear, if your station suffers from having worn out jingles, consult a professional imaging director now, before it complicates to a more serious condition – a drop in ratings.
Here is an article about how to burn-out proof your jingles.
We often hear these terms and we tend to use them loosely to the point of interchanging. There is a huge line drawn between radio voiceovers, radio imaging and radio production services. So what is the difference?
The question really is “what do you need”.
Voiceover – services such as these vary in terms of application. Voiceover services cater to audio book publishers, movie producers, apart from radio stations. When a company offers VOs, it means, they put voice into your scripts or copy.
You will not be expecting sound effects or production music included. However some VO artists give you option to put voice effects such as reverse, echo, etc.
“There is no right or wrong radio jingle company, there is only the right solution for your need.”
Imaging – requires a sit down with the program director if not the entire radio staff. It involves a process from conceptualizing, copy writing, hiring the appropriate voice person to production.
Companies who offer imaging services help you get the audio personality you want for your station. They don’t just offer you voice pipes, but brains and plenty of man-hours.
Production – companies who offer production either produce for you or sell production libraries (FX and music). You get the idea, you provide the voice and they will add FX, drops and music to create a sweeper or a promo.
Production companies may have an in-house or third party VO supplier.
You may go for a company that offers all 3 services: voiceover, imaging and production or you may choose a single service. There is no right or wrong radio jingle company, there is only the right solution for your need.
