My 4th Week at the station.

Labor Day Monday, but a radio station's airing doesn't stop. I got to the station at 8:00 AM. I was just in time for Paquito Jones and DJ Rob's SMART Spiel. It was very funny because it made Paquito seem gay. They also launched the new SMART ALL TEXT 10 commercial which was done in, technically, 4 languages (English, Tagalog, Visayan, Gay Lingo). Everything was going fine, until around 4:00 pm. it was time for Jumbo Joe's program, which is mostly populated by beer and cigarette commercials. when Jumbo introduced the Beer na Beer sponsored song, the song that played was Ang Ganda Ko by SANDARA PARK. This was because the commercial didn't come canned, it was mostly done by AOB (Announcer on board). The DJ just follows the playlist done by the programmer, not their own playlist. Now I know that if a station has commercials and song sponsorships done through AOB, one must check the commercial traffic log before making a playlist.

Wednesday was very exciting because we met Mano-Mano, a new funk-pop music group. Unfortuntely...I FORGOT MY CAMERA!!!! The group's lead singer wrote all the songs on their album. They have been around for more than 5 years, performing in bars in their home town Cebu. I can see how tough it really is in the Music world. If you don't have the guts and belief in yourself, you won't achieve anything.
