Top Choices for Radio Stations to Stream Video

1 Comment

The radio industry in the Philippines is healthier than those of other countries especially U.S. Although second only to TV in terms of medium usage, it still has the largest reach of audience, with an average of 3 hours of listening exposure.

But even if with a thriving industry, Philippine radio still faces tremendous amount of challenges, including competition from other stations, media devices such as iPod and of course, the internet.

DWRR FM 101.9 Manila faces this challenge by upgrading to a multi-format station. Tambayan 101.9 is not just an on-the-air station, it’s also streaming online and can be viewed via cable TV as well.

The station is also taking advantage of online platforms like social sites Multiply.com and Facebook.

We are hoping to see the station one of these days going mobile as well through iPhone Apps.

Most of the Philippine stations in major markets have gone online and streaming. If you want to go live with video, there are websites that lets you broadcast with video for free.

The Radio Station Business Model and Survival in the new Decade

Leave a comment

For so many years radio was the most popular means of entertainment. It was first of all free; then later it became portable, then becoming interactive thus making it easy for listeners to ask for what they wanted to hear.

Radio stations did not charge listeners for the entertainment, normal radio stations still don’t; and for so long the radio station business was pretty much the same simple model.. providing entertaining programming to its listeners, selling advertising spots enough to cover operating costs and make a profit.

Advancements in technology over the past few decades however have shrunk it’s popularity, rendering it less relevant to a majority of its once loyal audience, consequently limiting the amount of revenue to be made through advertising spots. The dawn of the digital and portable age of music was the also the start of the demise of the traditional radio business model.

Y101 FM (DYIO FM Cebu) is inviting listeners worldwide to submit their latest blog entry to their website www.y101fm.com.

Just got dumped by your girl, you hate your boss, or posted the weirdest thing ever, Y101 will blog your blog. Whatever topic as long as it does not contain, hate messages, curses or demeaning remarks. Send your entry now to y101cebu@yahoo.com, you could be next blogger to be featured on Y101.

The very first Philippine FM radio station I get to listen online was Y101 Cebu back in 2000-2001. I couldn’t remember well, but all I know was that during that time, iPhone was still a dream, and listening to a radio station via cellphone was only limited to analog broadcasts.

Fast forward to present, and remaining true to its claim to fame “Always First”, Y101 Cebu embraces the newest way to listen to the station “on the go”. I mean literally.

Listen to Y101 on your iPhone, iPod Touch or Nokia cellphones (selected units only, ex. 5800 Xpress Music). You need to download and install some software or plugins though for it to work.

Y101 could one of these days develop an iPhone app or a Java app for Nokia, so everyone can listen to the station without installing the Nokia PC suite for instance. Right now, it’s nearly impossible to listen to traditional online streaming if you are just using the conventional WAP browser.

But for now, this is all how it works, just click here to get instructions.

I am yet to try this. But I recommend if you are in Cebu or within Y101’s coverage, you are better off using your cellphone’s built-in FM radio tuner. Unless, of course you want to spend Php20.00 per hour listening to the station.

Buhay OFW on Cyber Pinoy Radio
Buhay OFW on Cyber Pinoy Radio

Cyber Pinoy Radio is proud to unveil its newest show – Buhay OFW. Hosted by DJ Bless, an OFW herself, the new radio show features stories and experiences of Overseas Filipino Workers.

Being homesick is just one of the many challenges an OFW faces. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the people behind Cyber Pinoy Radio launched the station. Cyber Pinoy Radio is not just an internet radio, it’s a community of Pinoys working in Europe, Middle East, and in the USA, to name a few. Listeners and djs interact through chat and what could probably ease homesickness than to be able to request and listen to home-grown Pinoy music.

DWRR 101.9 Flips to Tambayan 101.9

Tambayan 101.9

On November 4, 2009, finally the most awaited re-branding will arrive. Tambayan 101.9 is the new sound, the new face, and the name of DWRR 101.9. DWRR has lifted its supposed re-launching in October 2009 due to the Typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.

Tambayan 101.9 is sporting the slogan … “Sa’n Ka Pa” (Where else?) Tambayan is a Filipino slang for “a place to hang-out”. The logo is predominantly blue, red, and white, with a fancy font, a hint that the station’s new personality is made even more upbeat, fun, and more mass appealing. I just find the couch icon to be a little off, it’s more of a TV icon than radio.

Tambayan 101.9 is set to officially launch on air November 4, 2009. A launching event called Destination:RadioTopia will take place 7pm, at the A. Venue Hall, Makati Avenue, Makati City.

Listen to Tambayan 101.9 Online

Hang out with your favorite For Life DJs who are still going to be around at Tambayan 101.9, on air and online at http://www.tambayan1019.com and you can go to Tambayan 101.9 website for Tambayers and fans.

Teasers were airing on the station days before the official launch, all calling to listen to a change that will take place on the 4th of November.
