When My Favorite Radio Station Shuts Down
Many of us have their own fair share of youthful experience back in the day when we first heard our favorite songs being played in one of our most favorite radio station. Located in the heart of Ortigas Center in Pasig, Philippines, my favorite rock radio station that is the DWNU 107 has started telling its listeners about its future last airing until November 7, 2010. For what reason, people are merely shrugging it off as the reasons are not really their point of interests. It's still is a business anyway.
Sadness seems to envelop me when my favorite radio station is going to be shut down. NU107 is the only radio station in the Philippines that has been consistent in playing rock and underground music. They continuously supported local rock bands that kept all the commercialism in balance even if the other radio stations continuously air pop music, which is not a bad thing though.
Rock music has long lived in the hearts of Filipinos. In their way, local rock scene has emerged as an institution. NU107 had helped many rock musicians to achieve their own self worth. They aired indie, rock, alternative, classic rock, OPM rock and many kinds of music involving rock. The most celebrated rock festival that they deliver annually, which is the NU Rock Awards, has given significant value to all the listeners' votes for each rock artists.
NU107's last goodbye which is airing its final broadcast, this Sunday, is a must hear event. The final show will showcase many local artists, including Sugarfree, UpDharma Down, Razorback, Sponge Cola and Chicosci. There will be an emotional final show airing with all the good memories and good music playing. It will be an emotional and sentimental send-off for DWNU107, for its people, DJ's and for the listeners who live for rock music in the Philippines.
When my favorite radio station shuts down, I am left in a certain degree of thinking, what will happen to the balance in the radio stations?The music played on NU107 has been a trademark for good music combined with its following audience. The moment will come when another radio station will emerge and will capture the hearts and the best interest of its listeners, and only NU107 does that. Cheers to all the years of the two decades of good ole rock music.
