Yesterday, after 4 years of going off the air, DWDM 95.5 launched a new, cool and pinoy station called Pinas FM 95.5. Its broadcast began at 4am with Gen Subardiaga’s Newsic, 2 hours of News & Music of the 80s. It is followed by DJs who were part of Pinoy Radio: Rick Stryker, Raymond Stone, Moody Jam, DJ Peachy and Coach Jiko.
It’s nice to hear this station once again on the air. I thought it would be gone for good, but it is now back, by popular demand. DWDM has been on the air since 1987 as Diamond 1987, playing Contemporary Hits. In 1992, it became Pinoy Radio DM 95.5, playing OPM. In 2002, it became simply DWDM 95.5, playing Contemporary Hits and Oldies. It went off the air in January 2007, returned in May 2007, but went off the air for good in June 2007. I have been listening to this station since 2001 and I was more familiar with the DWDM 95.5 era.
Now, Pinas FM 95.5 introduced something new in the Philippine Radio Industry: Pinoy CHR. To Pinas FM management, congratulations and keep on playing our favorite music!
