Almost gone: Radio

It was gone noong dumating na mga novelty radio stations. Yun mga stasyon na walang ginawa kung mangokray, mangtsimax at ang matindi sa lahat magbigay lang mga payong pagibig na minsan kulang na lang eh magmarunong eh DJ. Geez.. Sama mo pa ang sakit sa tenga na mga kanta! hehehe

Well, that's Radio for you these days. May mga pang high end pa din na radio, the usual English speaking DJ's but well, they are just numbered. Sad to hear that, unlike in my days before, eh may DMZ, Nu 107! RT then Campus Radio na naging tugs tugan na! Ewww.. hahaha Easy Rock is still here. Thank God! 

Kahit ang lahat ng mga cellphone ngayon eh may radio, I don't tune in. One eh bawal makinig sa work ng radio, lalo na sa BPO. Confiscate ang cellphone. Two, kung anong uso, yun na.. Ayun, yun mga maiingay at weird, or badet na pangalan na mga DJ eh sobrang sumisikat na.. I don't know where they get that energy. hehe Yeah, it's just well di ko trip. Marami naman ganun sa work ko. hehehe or some friends are like that na.. Why listen to it? At ang huli, eh yun mga fave ko type ng radio stations, unfortunately, they are gone. May magic at hit ata yun or monster but as much I want to listen to them.. Well, nah I still miss those cool radio stations. Cool DJ, cool topics and damn great music!!

Great thing, and ironically, isa sa mga naging trainer ko, actually my first trainer sa BPO eh dating DJ, at dating Ang TV star pa! hahaha Damn, dun ko sa kanya ata nakuha yun rhythm ng voice ko. Quite bass yet kinda midwestern. Siya eh kano talaga style. Pero dito naman siya nakatira. 

Damn how cool was that, learning english and the same time, dun ko sa kanya nakuha yun JD box set copy! Damn I miss that dude. I heard he's now a band manager.. That was years ago. Meaning those kind of DJ's na sobrang kano magsalita pero pinoy pa din ang dating.. These days, jologs na pero pag nagenglish yun mga DJ's fairness magaling eh. That's market wants these days. Hay..

Despite the dawn ng net, Radio did not really go down. Kasi mas lumawak yun audience, even around the globe pero sa advertising prospect, di naman siya priority kasi yun.. Di naman lahat may trip makinig. As we, according sa research eh more visual than hearing. Of course maraming nakikinig pero mas marami maattract pag may nakikita, which goes to TV or print Media. Kaya well, di ganun kalakas impact ng Radio. 

Of course, di naman mamamatay ang Radio especially if the end nears. hehe Kasi radio frequency is let's say kahit mabulok ang lahat eh may radio frequency na mas madali makuha. I mean, if apocalyptic days are come and gone, unang may signal is radio. Kidding, I mean di naman mawawala ang radio, it's part of our lives. Im still listening to it, I love listening to public service programs, kasi maririnig mo yun galit na nagrereklamo at yun galit ni host. hehe Or yeah may FM na news station which quite new. AM yeah, minsan I can't believe radio drama still running.. Kudos to those people who do it. And classical music.. Especially on Sundays. 

It won't be gone, it will be there forever. It's a matter of us appreciating it..

Listening to it perhaps. 

Yeah, video killed the radio star..
