Sorry man but IMPO, 90.7 is no better. I'm old enough to remember the "heydays" of 90.7, where ballads and slow music is played all day. During my teenage years, that radio station used to be the radio station where teens tune in to if they want to listen to some sappy love song. DJs spoke all English and didn't have corny station IDs and gimmicks.

For people who are in my generation, listening to FM station DJs was like getting a class in English for free. I'll be the first to admit that FM (then, not now) helped me a lot in my quest to speak English properly. Dami DJ ngyaon eh mali-mali ang intonation at pronunciation ng ilang words.

FM now is for the masses, IMO. Hey, if I were the station boss and the masses keeps the money flowing in, I'd be in hog heaven.

Yes, i agree but i remember when they started taglish on several FM stations, it also begin the introduction of tagalog jokes and then greens. It eventually becomes a standard to add up life to listeners.

I think this was the time I started to loose interest in listening to FM stations.

Also noon, if you want corny jokes, tagalog DJs doing the news then you must shift to AM band dahil wala sa FM nun hehe

When I was I child, all we had was a transistor radio that only tuned to AM stations. I may be old school but I like the programming of AM stations then. Back in the day, there were AM stations that played pop music (English and foreign) for the benefit of those listeners who only had an AM-tuning radio (like I). There was even a station where they played Beatles and British rock and roll during weekends.

+1.

I do believe that the MTRCB is monitoring the stations also...

A short while back Magic 89.9's Sam YG and company got suspended for having an "indecent" radio program...

My List of Decent FM Radio Stations in Manila:

88.3 (Jam) >> I fixed my transistor radio's potentiometer to this frequency.
89.1 (Wave)
89.9 (Magic)
92.3 (xFM)
93.1 (Monster)
94.7 (Mellow)
96.3 (WRock)
97.9 (Home)
99.5 (RT)
100.3 (RJ100)
103.5 (Max)
105.1 (Crossover)
106.7 (Dream)
107.5 (NU)

Everything else that suck IMO:

90.7 (Love) - top ten list is 30 years old
91.5 (Energy) - half the time DJ ranting, half the time crappy music
93.9 (iFM) - pretty much useless
97.1 (Bgy. LS) - used to be good until they joined the suckbandwagon
101.1 (Yes) - you won't hear anything but clearly transmitted noise
101.9 (For Life) - flood the air with showbiz and nothing else
102.7 (Star) - never listened to, but TS described clearly how they suck

Decent stations still outnumber those that suck. Never knew that until now. But more radios in Manila are tuned in to the crappy radio stations. Well, that's why the good people invented the MP3 player and noise cancelling earphones.

Know what, I jam our neighbors' radios whenever they exceed comfortable listening volume. I use an FM transmitter with variable frequency setting. It's the one that you can buy at CD-R King; the one with the LCD display. Lolo happened to have an old radio antenna, so I hooked up the transmitter to the antenna. Guess what, I shut the heck out of their radios!!! Sometimes when I'm trippin', I hook up my PSP and play irritating noises so they'd shut off their noiseboxes. Real fun. If they still won't turn their radios down, I'd get lolo to build me a 5-watt transmitter with a 100m range.

Guys who drive cars everyday are lucky since they have full control of their HU's.
