Mix FM Davao Stops Online Radio Streaming
When I listen to pinoy online stations, there are only three stations I listen to — iFM 93.9 Manila, 96.3 WRock (which of course is now down) and Red Hot Mix FM 105.9 Davao. Their streaming capabilities have recently been down. In fact, the Red Hot Mix FM streaming link at eRadioPortal.com also had some problems.
2008 Predictions for Radio Imaging
You think you’ve had enough of those 2008 predictions? Well, I’ve also come up with my own predictions this year for radio imaging and production, as well for programming. Last year, the trend for radio imaging was to go street lingo! Love Radio’s “Bisyo Na To!” catch phrases are still doing well. In Cebu, ABS-CBN’s 97.1 M.O.R. is topping the survey with their catchy “Lupig Sila” and coming in second is GMA’s 99.5 RT with “Nindota Ah!”
Can Radio People Manipulate Radio Ratings – Surveys?
It is without doubt that the ratings-survey blues that both ABS-CBN and GMA Network, including AGB Nielsen Philippines are facing right now are really making a huge wave of doubt about how surveys are made here in the Philippines. Both networks have already aired spots stating their position on the issue. While we should leave this to the court, we can’t help but think how credible are the ratings results and surveys conducted in our country, especially for the radio broadcast industry.

WRock Website Soon To Re-launch
Hi there guys, it’s been a while since we haven’t updated this blog. Thanks for always giving us a hit. So far, your most favorite click is the WRock streaming link. Unfortunately, the site is still down and parked. And one of the people behind WRock network also emailed us about the site’s whereabouts. Well, the WRock people told us that their website is going to be up and running soon, we don’t know yet how soon is soon, but fans of the best loved adult contemporary station in the Philippines will surely gonna be enjoying the songs of WRock 96.3, especially those who are living abroad right now, they kind of missed the feel of WRock music.
Thanks to the team at 96.3 WRock for the update.
Queen of Pinoy TV-Radio Commercial Jingles
This is probably the cutest TV commercial produced this year. The concept itself, the production, everything about the commercial pulled it off. But what really catches the attention of many is the rendition of the Apo Hiking Society classic “Ewan” which was sung in different dialects.
And one of the voices behind this TV commercial’s jingle is no less than Continue reading Queen of Pinoy TV-Radio Commercial Jingles

Pagsabog Sa Makati:Reporter Panics on Live Event Coverage
I was in the office when the news broke out. I, too, am a frequent maller here in Cebu and it scared the wits out of me that even malls are no longer safe. There are lessons to be learned in the “Pagsabog Sa Makati”. And one of those I learned is never to panic especially when you do live coverage of an event, either on TV or radio.
I frequently switched from 24 Oras and TV Patrol not because I want to get more info on the blast but because I want to see how reporters deal with the event. As I have observed, both networks showed professionalism in their coverage of the “Pagsabog Sa Makati”. I understand however that sometimes reporters get panicky. One male reporter in ABS-CBN was slightly stammering when he delivered the details of his report and apparently sounded unprepared and unsure of his answers when asked by the female anchor.
It reminded me though of my early days in radio reporting that in covering tragic events such as the “pagsabog in Makati” reporters have to be alert, poised and calm. In radio reporting, the reporter must be focused on his delivery and not be sticken by overwhelming emotions. Sadly, it’s the unethical side of broadcast journalism, although it may be hurting to shove cameras on people who are hurt and have lost a family member, you still have to deliver the news.
