BALITANG NASYONAL: Neo Retro's final broadcast set as Radyo5 True FM moves from 92.3 to 105.9 in a new frequency swap to FMR 92.3 in Manila [#OneNETnewsEXCLUSIVE]

MANDALUYONG, NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION -- Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) officially announcing the frequency change as DWFM-FM 92.3mhz's True FM: Manila moves to 105.9, leaving DWLA-FM's Neo Retro 105.9 will no longer broadcasting their airwaves from Las Piñas in the National Capital Region under Bright Star Broadcasting Network Corporation (BSBNC). While 'Favorite Music Radio' (simply known as 'FM Radio') under Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC) won't push through for 101.9mhz. Instead, they will put a new frequency of 92.3mhz in the FM dial, which became the possible main flagship station in Metro and Mega Manila.

For those don't know about the big 3 FM radio stations… DWFM-FM (known today as True FM), is a radio station in Manila that has undergone several format changes since its inception. It originally launched on mid-February 1973 as MRS 92.3 (Most Requested Songs), playing the most requested songs every hour. Over the years, it has rebranded multiple times, including stints as 'Joey @ Rhythms 92.3' and XFM (where it was not pre-affiliated to Y2H Broadcasting Network [YBN] in late February 2022). In November 2010, it transitioned to an all-news format as 'Radyo5 92.3 News FM', becoming the only flagship station for the Radyo 5 network.

DWLA-FM (branded as Neo Retro 105.9) is a radio station in 'Las Piñas, NCR' that began broadcasting on April 1st, 1992. Initially known as LA 105.9, it played a modern rock format. The station has undergone several rebrands, including WLA (We Love Adventure), Blazin' 105.9, and Retro 105.9. On December 2019, it rebranded to this said current FM radio station name, focusing on both adult and classic hits.

And, Favorite Music Radio (FMR) is a nationwide FM radio network operated by the 'Philippine Collective Media Corporation' (PCMC). The network was launched on late-February 2020, with its flagship station DYDR-FM in Tacloban. FMR focuses on contemporary MOR (Middle of the Road) and news talk formats. It was previously known locally as 100.7 Thunder FM in late-April 2011. PCMC was founded on late-May 2008, and initially operated in the Eastern Visayas region before expanding nationwide such as Maasin, Cebu, Bacolod, and soon launching here in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental.

By next Sunday night before switching frequencies on November 3rd, 2024… The final broadcasts on 92.3 True FM is 'True Love Songs' at 9pm, while Neo Retro 105.9 wraps up to 'Smooth Rhythms' at 8pm. And, if you're listening on the FMR Philippine app for FM Radio Manila, there will be music automation until the first radio programme on free radio at 92.3 FM, the next day in the early morning hours by Monday (November 4th).

A pending approval of the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) will give potentially new call sign or retaining the callsign name in the coming weeks for Favorite Music Radio (FMR) in Metro and Mega Manila. In the meantime, NBC and PCMC will enter into a blocktime and content licensing agreement for use of the 92.3mhz frequency, immediately following after the actual switchover.

True FM serves its nationwide reach on the main flagship station at 105.9 in Metro Manila, 99.9 in Ormoc, DYFM-FM 101.9 in Cebu, DXRL-FM 101.5 in Cagayan de Oro and DXET-FM 106.7 in Davao (after rebranding from Radyo Digoseño). They also launching its own new pay-TV channel for Cignal TV and SatLite subscribers called 'True TV' on Channel 19. Neo Retro had sadly come to an end next week for BSBNC for unknown reasons. The effectivity of acquisition begins simultaneously on November 4th.

Discotechs died with the collapse of the gay party scene, the Reagan administration, the rise of the LGBT community and gay liberation movement.

In Disco Elysium disco fell as Revachol lost its independence and the grasp of the moralintern, coalition and the economic disparity of capitalism shut its jaws around the people.

EDM, electronic dance music birthed from the ashes of the discotech and new club music was born, similarly ADM, Adonic Dance Music is starting its journey into the main stream.

This places culturally and phonically Disco Elysium sometime in the mid to late 80s or even Early 90s.

Now I wanted to figure out what music was on Speedfreak radio:

DJ mesh says:

"...AND DE FACTO THE FASTEST MUSIC IN ALL OF R-R-REVACHOL R-ROCK CITY. ALL YOU HOOLIGANS, DOWNTOWN DRIFTERS, SIDEWAYS SALLIES AND POWERSLIDING PIERRES."

The only song we hear on Speedfreaks radio is described as:

"If, when a motor-carriage's engine was ignited, it could drive by its own accord off to a high mountain and there write a song -- perhaps it'd be something like what you're hearing now."

We know that the music is rock and it's fast and has the essence of something a car would write as well as a clear association with car culture.

Similarly around the mid to late 80s metal rock music was gaining popularity in the mainstream.

Including a subgenre of metal known as speed metal.

Anyway, I'm not a huge metal fan, in fact I'm a complete noob when it comes to the genre.

But I've done my best collecting some metal from the time period that I think would be played on Speedfreaks FM and would be to Kim's tastes.

As well as a few more anachronistic additions plus some songs just for fun.

The mix isn't quite done so if you have recommendations leave em in the comments or notes!

Also check out my similarly done Disco Mixtape.

Also also check out my Kim fic I'm working on.

Do you have an analysis to She Got Away?

Thank you for this question. I think if she got away as a Haylor song that had some details changed to make it a generic 1D song.

It is likely from February 2014 - fans first posted it was registered in November 2014 (after it didn’t appear on Four), although the band recorded it. While making WTNY and I Know Places with Taylor in Conway Studios he also saw Harry there (Four was in production)

Ryan has specified at least 4 other writing meetings with them:

29 January 2012 - W hotel in Westwood LA - to Zach Sang, that sounded early. 1D stayed at the W in 2012. No mention of a song just annoyed about the similar band names.

19 April 2013 - Manchester - to Capital FM - Right Now (OneRepublic was in London, One Direction in Manchester and Midnight Memories was in production. ...also after that date is when he went back to the US to get the Peace ring and Taylor wrote I Wish You Would). He says he wrote 'something else with one of them' presumably Harry as Right Now refers to CBBH and Harry loved it.

February 2014 - Conway Studios LA - to New York Post 2019 - when Taylor and Harry were there. The rest of the band was in the UK. I think this is when She Got Away was likely written. Harry wrote it with Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella, both who worked on Welcome to NY. Ryan also said he saw Harry and Taylor at the studio then (I know places & welcome to NY from the same sessions, we also know Harry was there when JABOYH was written while hanging around Conway in January 2014. Style, Shake it off were also recorded then. It’s widely reported this song was for Four, fan first posted about it being registered in November 2014 after Four released without it.

London hotel - to Ryan Seacrest - Solo Harry, he talked about him traveling with no entourage.

She Got Away Lyrics

Jennie in She got Away seems like a composite rather than an actual person. She is enigmatic, contradictory and mysterious. She is very much of the Diana/Georgia Rose archetype who is a vessel that 1D's fans could see themselves in or aspire to be. Harry's love of older music is clear, it's very Bob Dylan-inspired storytelling through characters, wandering and the places named.

Verse One: Liam & Harry] I met this girl the other night On the streets of New Orleans She said I'm trying to find myself On the run from Tennessee She had a diamond in one ear And patches on her jeans Oh yeah, oh yeah, the girl she got to me

The first verse reminds me of Taylor in the 'On the run from Tennessee' especially if the song is written in the same session as Welcome to New York, she was on the run from country music, the success of Red and her home of Tennessee.

The 'Diamond in one ear and patches on her jeans 'is a perfect description for this transitional era of Taylor - on the success of her last Country-pop album singing about moving to New York for a complete pop album. This line is very much Taylor at that time. It is a brilliant line as it works for the 1D listener who is an evolving young woman.

Jennie has a way with words Yeah, she always speaks in quotes She said that she ain't ever Met a man like me before She told me she just won a trip to Mexico Oh yeah, oh yeah On the radio Oh yeah, oh yeah Someday she will go

She has a way with words is a girl who writes, speaks in quotes is someone who writes heavily in references and metaphor... sounds like someone we know. 'She said she ain't never met a man like me before / she won a trip to Mexico' this sounds like the intended listener is fan fiction writers, coming up with the scenario where they meet Harry.

The 'never met anyone like me' line to me has me wondering how many of Taylor's Exes would come back to the studio to hear her next album be recorded and spend days collaborating on writing love songs about her while she does.. I think that's still a list of 1.

[Chorus: All] When I close my eyes I swear that I can see her Then they open wide And she’s a world away And I swear she’s mine So does every man who meets her Oh yeah, oh yeah She’s the girl that got away Oh yeah, oh yeah But she’s coming back someday

The chorus has Harry and the muse separated by the world, he is dreaming of her, it fits nicely with the fanfiction listener. There's a nice call out to 'half the world away'.

The 'so does every man who meets her' reminds me of Fool's Gold's 'you turn it on for everyone you meet' but here it is loving. And a nice 'she's coming back someday' adorable for writing this the same week as Style's 'Everytime we crash down we come back again'

[Verse Two: Harry & Niall] Jennie likes a coffee late at night It helps her sleep She doesn't cook but She's got a million recipes She's got a tattoo Doesn't know what it means Oh yeah, oh yeah When she was with me

Coffee late at night - need I say more?? The sleep also is a nice call back to Little Things. Jennie is chaotic and sounds hyperproductive... yeah...

The tattoo is cute, a clear 'not Taylor or anyone he'd dated.' unless the tattoo is on him and she doesn't know who it was for. 'when she was with me'

[Bridge: All] What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her Ain't going away What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her Ain't going away What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her Ain't going away What I feel, what I feel, I feel for her Feel for her, feel for her

The bridge is a nice resolution, Harry has made a decision he is committed. It is so much more hopeful than JALBOYH and WDBHG from the same sessions.

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

I’ve seen a tiktok of Zayn’s sister(s) and Louis’ sister at Liam’s funeral. I’ve seen Zayn’s mother there too.

I wonder if Anne and Gemma went or if Harry really only went with James and Ben.

I always liked Harry but your blog has sent me down a deep dive into marketing/industry etc! Im inclined to believe he’s a good guy, but seems he just fell for the fame and big bucks. I don’t know much about Niall but I was surprised to see he performs all over the world, didn’t realize he was this big (no offence to him). Personally I prefer the intimate, smaller route that Zayn and Louis seem to take. Just making music they wanna make without have a whole promo team behind it, like Harry seems to have.

I didn’t know that Louis’ and Zayn’s families went to the funeral. I hadn’t seen that.

Mind you, Louis played to a stadium of 67,000 fans in Mexico City this year. He has played multiple 30,000+ shows. He has had several livestreams of 100,000+ audiences (broke a world record). He has hosted his own international festival for four years and probably traveled to more cities than either Harry or Niall ever have, so he isn’t exactly only doing intimate venues.

I also think that Louis would love it if he got radio play. It isn’t his choice. He talks about the lack of radio play with some sarcasm and bitterness. He wouldn’t bother going on BBC Radio multiple times for promotion (both interviews and live performances) if he thought there would be no radio play out of it. Roman Kemp (DJ) mocked Louis’ radio play ambitions on Capital FM radio by imitating Louis’ Yorkshire accent, as an uncultured chav trying to get on the airwaves. I don’t think Roman would do this if he thought there would be any repercussions.

The fact is everyone in the UK and USA music industry knows who backs Harry, and knows to avoid Louis. It’s not all about choices.

LEE'S FAQ!

Over the past nearly-two years, I've noticed that I get some questions about John's work asked repeatedly. That doesn't bother me - half of his prominent work is somewhat lost media, Tumblr's search is super fucked, and I always want to help anyone falling down the JO rabbit hole - but I realized that one central pinned post would be helpful! I'll keep this up to date as much as possible.

I know I have a lot of international followers, and if you have any knowledge of where to stream or find some of these items, please let me know and I'll update this post.

WHERE CAN I FIND...?

Anything really, I've just started going down this rabbit hole:

The John Oliver Masterlist is an incredible resource - while it hasn't been updated since about 2017 and has some broken links (especially in the LWT sections), it has functional links to every JO clip from The Daily Show, all the main segments of LWT through 2017, radio shows, and lots of other material. This was made by @johnoliverphotos and @ilovejohnoliver, and I'm eternally grateful for it.

The Department:

YouTuber Ben Jennings has the entire series on his channel.

Player FM has the series uploaded here as well.

The Bugle:

The Bugle Archive has all Times Online era episodes available to download. PLEASE DOWNLOAD THE EPISODES DIRECTLY; DO NOT STREAM FROM THIS SITE.

The Bugle is starting to upload Times Online era episodes to their official channels, which can be found here. They're up to ep 75 as of June 2024.

All post-Times Online episodes (starting with episode 179) are available on The Bugle's official channels.

The Daily Show with Jon Stewart:

Paramount has axed the Daily Show archives online as of 6/26/24. It's absolutely gutting how little they give a shit about this program. Fuck them.

You're gonna have to sail the high seas to watch this. I'm sorry that this is the state of the US' most important comedy show of the 2000s. Since Paramount hasn't done shit with the old episodes for decades, I wouldn't hold your breath on it entering streaming.

Community:

In the US, this can be streamed on Peacock. Individual episodes can be purchased on YouTube, Apple TV, and Amazon Prime.

Worldwide, Community is now on Hulu.

Every season of Community is available on DVD and Blu-Ray.

John Oliver's New York Stand-Up Show:

In the US, the whole show is on Paramount Plus and can be purchased through Amazon and Apple.

This show also got purged in the big Comedy Central erasure, but at least you can buy it still?? Shit silver lining, I know.

Back catalog episodes of Last Week Tonight:

You can buy back catalog episodes on YouTube and Amazon in the US.

The first through eighth seasons of LWT have been uploaded fully on their YouTube in the US, with plans to upload future seasons during breaks in the show's current episodes!

In certain areas outside of the US, LWT is now being uploaded in full on their YouTube channel as well.

HBO Max no longer has back catalog episodes because capitalism is fucking ridiculous, I pay monthly for this service entirely for this show and I can't even watch old news from 5 years ago

The Horne Section:

The whole series is on Taskmaster Supermax+, which should work everywhere except the UK.

In the UK, you can stream this through Channel 4.

Taskmaster:

I've been trying to will this into existence for multiple seasons, no one can stop me

BLOG-SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

How did you get into John Oliver?

I answered this in too much detail in two posts, here and here.

Where is your icon from?

UPDATED: It was made by the lovely @stalebagels for me. She is wonderful <3

Is this blog a bit?/Do you really find this man attractive?

No, this is not an ironic bit, I really like John Oliver and find him genuinely hot. (Tbf, I get this question way more in person than online.)

Capital FM Interview

Our Story Masterlist Summary: Harry talks about his new music and opened up about some of his other massive projects for 2022; movies My Policeman and Don’t Worry Darling…and of course YN.

"Please welcome to the show Harry Styles" Roman announced, after explaining he was wearing a dressing gown on the show today because Harry wore a purple one during his last interview on Capital FM.

Harry and YN have just flown into America for Harry to prepare for his Coachella shows later in the week, so Harry was doing the interview over a Zoom call.

"Duh duh duh duh...duh duh duh...duh duh duh duh..duh duh duh" Harry begins to chant, waving his arms in the air, through the screen, wearing a white t-shirt and his earphones dangling from his ears. The presenters joined in with his chant.

"Mate It's been ages how are you?" Roman asks.

Harry gives the biggest grin "I'm very well thanks..yeah..I'm very well..I-its uh..thank you very much for the dressing gown reference"

"No it's okay..well..well..I mean I was upset that you didn't turn up in a dressing gown on my screen but I'm sure everyone in the world would be upset if you didn't turn up in a dressing gown-"

Harry interrupted Roman "I can run and get one"

"Just do it" Roman encouraged, but Chris the other radio presenter explained they haven't got enough time, so Harry pulls his t-shirt over his head slightly to pretend he was wearing one, causing the presenters to laugh.

Roman continued the interview "You're back..you got your brand new song As It Was..so many people absolutely love it..we love it in here..the video is super cool as well-"

"Thank you so much" Harry politely said, as he played with a piece of his hair.

"There is obviously...the best thing about this is that people have waited so long to hear your voice once again...on a brand new song but it's not your voice that we hear first..isn't that right?" Roman questioned, still wearing his dressing gown and headphones placed over his hood.

"It is yeah...it's the voice of YN's little sister-" Harry began to explain before Roman and Sian is heard 'awwing' at his confession.

"Her and YN's little brother used to try and call us before bedtime every night so..uh..one time I don't know..YN's phone didn't ring or something..so they phoned mine but I missed it and she sent me that and I kind of dug it out at some point while we were in the studio..and put it in front of the song for some reason and I kind of just fell in love with it so..it stuck" Harry explained how Doris and Ernest would phone their oldest sister and Harry each night to say goodnight to them.

"It is really nice but I do think that..that does mean she's officially a recording artist now-" Roman spoke.

"True" Sian agreed, interrupting her colleague "She get's a percentage"

"Yeh..she's a recording artist..you've got to share a grammy with her" Roman continued to explain his opinion.

Scratching the back of his head, Harry joked "Oh yeah..she was asking..she was asking for a big fee" causing Roman and Sian to roar with laughter at his sarcastic comment.

"What did Louis think..you know was he annoyed that you'd thought of the idea first of using his sister's voice in a song?" Chris continued to ask questions.

Harry thought before answering "Uh..no I don't think so..I think he was proud to be 'onest"

"We are loving this..it's the lead single from your upcoming album Harry's House..the artwork is you in like an upside-down room..all the furniture's glued to the ceiling..now I don't imagine this is exactly how your house looks but do you have anything weird and wonderful in your house like that-"

"I'd say at the moment it's kind of just..uh..piles of things which we're kind of sorting through-"

"What have you just moved?" Sian asked the singer.

"No we haven't-" Harry smiled shyly.

"You've just got piles of things" Chris laughed along with Harry.

"I'm trying to kind of empty out a little bit and kind of clear..uh..the space that I'm living in a little bit..get a little bit clearer" Harry explained.

"Are you a messy person then..is this the problem?" Sian questioned.

"I don't think I am..but YN would probably disagree" Harry laughed "That's why there are so many piles of things..because she'll be like c'mon let's have a clear out and then literally pile my stuff up..and uh..I don't always get the chance to sort through it..so yes and no"

"Oh she's one of them..a big clean and clear out" Sian commented.

Chris began to ask Harry about his home, location and accent "Speaking of..uh..homes..you're not actually at home at the moment you're in..you're in America..um..but we've seen some pretty wild accents from the 1D boys recently and specifically from um..Mr Liam Payne on the Oscars red carpet..um now I've got to ask you have you sort of started to get like a transatlantic accent from America at all?"

"Well I don't think in the time that I just got here 'cause we only got in yesterday for uh Coachella rehearsals..so uh..in the space I've been here this trip I think I've survived..I think it's a little bit all over the place" Harry began to explain his accent "I'm from up North and I've lived in London for ten years and I've spent a lot of time in America and stuff so..I think uh..I think when I'm with Americans they don't think I sound American at all and then I think sometimes when I'm with English people they expect me to sound American..I don't think I do but maybe I you know pick up some..a couple of bits along the way but I-" Harry let out a chuckle before continuing 'I have to translate for people sometimes..because they don't have a clue what YN is saying and it's so funny" Harry continued to laugh.

"Yeah she definitely hasn't lost her accent has she?" Roman joined in on the joke.

"No and I think it's more noticeable when we're in America" Harry continued to explain his girlfriends accent.

"You've been working so hard recently yeah...and we said you know-" Roman began before Harry interrupted.

"Thank you Roman"

"No I appreciate it mate I do appreciate it...um but look it's been a while since we last spoke to you and...the movie thing we've got to talk about that because I don't know whether to call you an artist..I don't know whether to call you an actor..what would you call yourself?..Are you an artist first or are you an actor?" Roman questioned Harry.

"I mean I think I'm a musician first" Harry explained before adding how lucky he felt to be able to do the jobs he loves and how grateful he is to be able to explore acting. Harry then went on to say how he was able to step out of his comfort zone with acting.

Roman continued with his questioning "Yeah and talking about comfort zones as well because I need you to..uh..sort something for me right because obviously I'm gonna go see both you're films that you've been doing recently..so you've got Don't Worry Darling and..uh..My Policeman..my question Harry what is the film that I can safely watch with my parents...because I've heard that it is getting racy"

"I don't know if you can watch either with your parents" Harry confessed, making the three presenters gasp with a 'what'. Harry made a joke saying he's going to have to do another film that Roman would be able to watch his mother. "Do you want to know something funny...well It's not funny for me but you'll find it funny"

"Of course mate" Roman eagerly nodded.

"YN said to me the other day" Harry let out a little chuckle before continuing "Shall we host..like uh..um..movie night with our families to watch the two films" Harry along with the presenters roared with laughter at YN's idea "I was like no..no let's not do that"

Sian still laughing spoke "That's absolutely brilliant"

"Hey maybe me and Shirley could join..it won't be so awkward for me then" Roman joked before thanking Harry for joining them all today.

Capital Radio FM London Awards - April 19, 2000

[zot3-flopped]

Considering how big Liam was I’m surprised how little celebrities attended his funeral. A bunch of random radio djs attended instead. No sign of Rita Ora, Roman Kemp or any Capital FM djs or BBC Radio 1 djs who actually knew Liam.

There were Capital DJs:

Mourners at Liam's funeral also included Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman, James Corden, Girls Aloud stars Nicola Roberts and Kimberly Walsh, Marvin and Rochelle Humes, footballer Robbie Keane, broadcaster Adrian Chiles and Capital Breakfast's Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby.

Super Stéreo 88.9 nació en 1982 y se convirtió rápidamente en un referente de la música juvenil en Bogotá; la novedad de su programación pop/rock la posicionaron como una de las favoritas de los jóvenes desde mitad de la década, y llegó a los 90 debatiéndose el primer puesto. Super Stéreo evolucionó después a La Super Estación, manteniendo su esencia pero ampliando su formato musical. Sin embargo, desde 2005, la frecuencia fue asignada a Radio Uno, una emisora de música popular de RCN. Fernando Pava Camelo, su creador y gerente me contó la historia completa en este agradable episodio. “El Jefe”, como le dicen todos mis amigos que trabajaron bajo su ala, es un tipo bonachón con un absoluto sentido radial y musical, impresionante y atemporal como la buena música. Hay mucho por aprenderle, y sobre todo por escucharle.

Hace una semana pasé a saludarlo y me quedé tres días seguidos con él; pocas veces he experimentado esa oportunidad de hablar día y noche de radio y de música, de la industria y del entretenimiento. Es como si me hubiera encontrado con un amigo de toda la vida, pero la verdad es sumando que las pocas ocasiones que habíamos hablado en 34 años podrían sumar algunos escasos minutos. Eso sí; jamás me le he perdido una de sus conferencias históricas llenas de detalles y hasta le llegué a una convocada por el Ministerio de Cultura sobre creación de archivos sonoros, y conservo los apuntes de hace ya cuatro años sobre los principios de procedencia, orden general e integridad. Casualmente, esta vez nos acompañamos en ambas conferencias para la temporada de "Radio, reliquias y futuro" de la ACL.

Al final de la década de los 80 todos los muchachos de mi generación soñábamos con viajar a Bogotá y conseguir la oportunidad de ser DJs en 88.9, la estación de había creado Fernando Pava en 1982 y que para entonces era una locura en sintonía en la capital colombiana; curiosamente, cuando se me dio esa oportunidad en 1994 decidí quedarme en Caracol Radio y hacer una carrera como director de Radioactiva en varias ciudades del país, pero jamás dejó de seducirme esa capacidad de hacer radio sorprendente de mis amigos y conocidos allá. En estos tres días de campamento radial en su casa, Fernando y yo hablamos mucho, insoportables, como loras, mientras caminamos cerca por un aguacate para el almuerzo, en la sala de su casa, en la cocina mientras preparábamos café; en paseos cortos por el frío de la tarde bogotana y por supuesto, hasta en un estudio de grabación. Esta es la historia de la monumental estación de radio 88.9 FM.

Gabriel Posada Gálvis Medellín - Colombia
