Save Nu107 FM's rock music-oriented programming format!!!

why change the format?

Sayang mawawala na ang fave kong rock oriented radio station x_x (new owner - new programing format!) hanggang Nov. 07, 2010 na lang ang last airing. It was also instrumental in popularizing local artists and musicians like The Dawn, Identity Crisis, the Eraserheads, Parokya Ni Edgar, P.O.T., Wolfgang, Razorback, Urbandub and others.

ill miss this only ROCK RADIO STATION. i listen to here since 1995...damn! i can t believe its only a week to enjoy and listen to them...

NU 107 - INSTITUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

from Zack Luzero's facebook: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=163842&id=756263564#!/notes/zach-lucero/the-day-the-music-died/10150091481299225

I heard a big, deep, voice, calling out my name. "zach...zach....zach". I could'nt see anything, everything was pitch black, save for those squigly little things floating in our eye balls, that only the individual could see. I observed it swimming from right to left, and as my eyes tried to follow it, it just moved even faster as if avoiding my gaze. "zach ....zach... the big voice insisted. Is this the voice of God? The voice was reverberating in what i could imagine was a small room, the voice felt close, and in your face. There was an urgency to it, and strangely enough, the voice had the smell of Pale Pilsen. As the voice continued to call out my name, i felt a hand, firmly clasp my shoulder and shake it. This cant be God I thought, why is he touching me? where the hell am i? am I in jail? man i hope not.. . "Zach....zach..gising na, two minutes na nagka gap, ano ba nangyari sayo?" My eyes flared open and quickly shut again, that split second of light caused my head to hurt. In that split second i felt familiarity gently patting my back telling me all is ok.. I saw the unmistakable bigote that only he could sport. I picked myself up from the booth floor, ignored the pain in my head and stared at Pontri. "Ey man..what happened?" Pontri said "hinimatay ka ata eh..ok ka lang?" I replied "Im fine.. thanks..sory ha, musta inuman nyo ng mga tech?..ok na ako..ill just shake it off" Sigh. That was a sunday afternoon in 1996 if im not mistaken? maybe early 97? Juggling your thesis, band, and exrta rackets can have its toll on ya. uh huh.Cliche yes, but time does really whizz by. That is but one of the many days that i see tumble down from the back shelf of my mind as i recall that trip i had with The Home of New Rock. Nu107.Ill just spill em out as i see em coming.



"There is a chain of command here zach, you cant just play songs from your cd collection...even if your on the grave yard shift, folow the playlist!!" Ron said. I was scared..my first reprimand from management...I thought it was ok to play The Spinanes at 3am, i mean who's up right? well my boss was. haha....







There was this guy who proposed in the morning show, how did that go again joey? He showed up at the station, and proposed to his girlfriend on air, his girfriend was listening on the radio on her way to work, we called her cell phone, and she said yes!! :)



The National Gegraphic Guy freaked Joey out one morning. He put a scorpion on his head right in front of us. ew. We also had this guest who introduced the Boteko method breathing or whatever, i thought that was a load of crap. entertaining though.

Bad trip, there was no tabo! it was an emergency, so i grabbed the first thing that could hold water. it was a mug. after the deed, i walked out the washroom...and ran into Larry our accountant, he looked at me, "what are you doing with my mug?" i just stared wide eyed at him shocked and speechless clutching his mug in one hand and a roll of toilet paper in the other......and then he turned around and got so mad. wow. sobrang sorry lang ako ng sorry sakanya. begging, kneeling and all.."sorry larry..it was an emergency..walang tabo eh" that explanation dint help.. were good now.. got him a mug for Christmas :)

man i better stop..too many memories. Nu107 is more than a radio station. its a lifestyle, spanning over two decades affecting many. Nu107 is what it is because of the people behind it, the music it played, and the people it entertained. Kudos to all who made it last this long. :)

Rumor has it that NU 107.5 will now be reformatting to become more appealing to the “masa” and bigger crowd. Will this be the start of its new tagline, “Home of Nu Pop”? Got this news from a Facebook note of a former NU 107 jock, Jaedee (which she also posted in her blog here). Hmm, was this the reason that Quark Henares was being reminiscent of previous NU Rock Awards in Facebook? It’s saddening to know that NU 107.5, the radio station I grew up with will be closing its doors now to playing purely rock tunes. This was one of the stations that gave way to local and independent rock talents. They were the ones who were shrugged by mainstream radio stations because they’re not “pogi” bands. It’s really sad to know that one by one, my adolescent favorites are beginning to disappear. This is the reason that I am sad, it’s because I am not getting any younger anymore.

I understand the struggles that NU 107 management is going through. I actually thought about the people who are currently working there. Change of management = Change of Staff. I know change is inevitable, and so I am accepting the fact that they’re reformatting. Now I’d have to find another radio station where I can be comfortable with, something to revive my adolescent past. Hay, sad.

Wish I can watch the upcoming Rock Awards, too sad that they’re not selling tickets and they’re just gonna raffle it off. Wow, the odds of me winning is so blurred and definitely me scoring tickets from someone there is way too impossible. If someone can score me two tickets I’d be more than grateful! ;)

So good luck to the NU 107, I’ll give your new format a try on 2011. Hope that the employees will be able to cope the loss of jobs. Haha, apologies, I’m being HR again.

this is our home, save it!

Nu is the one and only rock station in the philippines. lets keep on rockin"

ok naman mag change on owner pero sana yung mga pinoy rock music .... palaging nandyan kasi malaking tulong ang nu 107 sa music scene sa pilipinas kung pop man lang sana common sense nah lang nah ang nu 107 is not for pop music it's all about rock n roll ......sana pagdasal natin na huwag matuloy yung rumors ....
