Win Radio Defends Itself Against NU107 Fans

Win Radio

Win Radio defended itself against its detractors, mostly fans of its predecessor, NU107, by publishing an article at a national newspaper. The station’s head, Manny Luzon, who used to be at Energy FM, said in a Manila Bulletin article that rock stations will not survive the current radio industry.

“You can’t serve one menu all day,” Luzon noted, seemingly directing his words to the die hard fans of the defunct rock station.

“Business has to evolve and that’s what we, Atom and I, have agreed when I got on board,” he added.

Win Radio replaced NU 107 last year, which enraged loyal listeners. Facebook pages and groups were organized to supposedly boycott the new format. Continue reading Win Radio Defends Itself Against NU107 Fans →
