Production Tips

DWTM’s Production Manager Carlo Jose Says Quit Radio School

Leave a comment
DWTM FM Magic 89.9

If you want to be on the radio, stop learning radio in school. This was the advice of Carlo Jose, Production Manager at the famous Magic 89.9, DWTM FM of Quest Broadcasting Inc. during last month’s Kidlat Awards 2011.

I remember when I just 16, a budding DJ wannabe, who would do anything just to be heard on the radio. I did not know what was in radio, that I got hooked to it, sure it was about getting the hippest music and getting it first, the popularity and the chicks, but I did not realize that until I got IN radio.

Before my radio days, I was just a listener. I did not enjoy all the perks until my first boardwork.

So I believe being on radio is written in your DNA, you don’t go to school to be an announcer. And I remember this was also the very same thing that the late and former mentor of mine, Mr. Alex Sy of Times Broadcasting Network.

GMA 7, Not Penalized for Hostage Coverage Violation

Leave a comment
GMA 7

ABS-CBN, TV5 and Radio Mindanao Network are all asked by KBP to pay P30,000 for violating its rules on appropriate coverage.

According to its internal investigative panel, all 3 networks were found out to have crossed the line just to get a good scoop on the August 2010 Luneta hostage-taking crisis.

PCIJ or Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism however said that the penalty of P30,000 is very petty compared to the number of lives lost and risked, time lost in finger pointing, and damage to international relations and tourism.

KBP However did not impose a penalty on GMA 7 since it is not a member of the organization.

DWRR 101.9 For Life 2005 and 2007 Station ID Jingles

WRR 101.9 Old Logo

I had goosebumps after reviewing an article I wrote four years ago. I thought I made a prophecy that came true, but did I? I was talking about the launch of WRR 101.9 For Life’s new jingle on September 1, 2007. The new jingle was sung by Raimund Marasigan and Yeng Constantino.

I said that the jingles were going to run for another two years or until some major changes. And some “major changes” did happen two years after 2007, WRR was re-branded as “Tambayan 101.9”.

Here is a part of that article, published September 14, 2007: Continue reading DWRR 101.9 For Life 2005 and 2007 Station ID Jingles →

Campus Radio’s John Hendrix Returns to GMA

John Hendrix

Who does not know John Hendrix, one of the legendary DJ’s of the now defunct WLS 97.1 Campus Radio. John Hendrix is one of those loved voices on the radio in the heydays of Top 40 radio in Manila or in the Philippines, for that matter. That classic, friendly voice is something that we really miss.

John Hendrix became more popular when he did a TV stint on GMA 7 in the 90s for a Sunday music video show called Campus Video. His disc jockeying skills made him a natural VJ.

Like many other careers, there comes a crisis in one’s life and DJs are not immune to it. We’re talking about management changes, format changes or station closing shop. Continue reading Campus Radio’s John Hendrix Returns to GMA →
