Another Radio Tambayan

Unwind in the newest place-to-be on FM radio as ABS-CBN officially launched Tambayan 101.9 during a recent trade event.

Step inside this fresh on-air hub where listeners can celebrate and share life’s melodies with friends and spend 24/7 quality barkada bonding with DJs Martin D, China Heart, Laila Chikadora, Ric Rider, R-Nold Rei, Cha-Cha, Jack Melo, Reggie Valdez, Billie, Toni, Charlie, Onse, Jasmin and Fiols.

“At the end of the day, we all want a place where we can just hangout and be with our good friends thus, we created a venue on-air where listeners can come together, have fun, have this barkada feel, and just be themselves,” said station manager Eli Bruce Capuyan.

Tambayan 101.9, aside from satisfying your daily music cravings, will keep you company and be by your side during your ups and downs, listen to what you want to say, give advice, make you laugh, and lift your spirits up when needed through new, interactive segments like the Debatehan sa Tambayan, Mga Tambayers, Tambayan Showdown, Textpren, Ano Meron? and DJ Wannabe’s. Celebrity guests will drop by and sit in the booth’s blue couch to answer your questions.

Meanwhile the station launches Tambayan TV, initially accessible on-line via www.tambayan1019.com. Listeners can see who they are talking to and what’s happening inside the booth alongside other in-demand information like trivia on songs/artists, public service announcements, job vacancies, etc.

It features an interactive chat box where viewers can send messages and participate on discussions and a picture box where they can send in photos related to the topic.

Tambayan 101.9 also takes on digital technology via HD Radio. Tambayan 101.9 on HD gives listeners crystal quality reception and offers them more choices as they have two additional stations on the same band width.

“In 101.9 HD1, you can get the feed from Tambayan 101.9. 101.9 HD2 and 101.9 HD3, on the other hand, are additional stations without DJs and are like iPod playlists. The former plays Top 40 hits, while the latter plays easy listening music,” Capuyan explained.

Tambayan 101.9 will also release a special album this year that will look back at the past 12 years of the station and compile the number one song for each year since its launch in 1996. Featured artists to give their own unique rendition of these songs include Erik Santos, Aiza Seguerra, Paraluman, Juris Fernandez, 6CycleMind, Moonstar 88, Toni Gonzaga and Bugoy Drilon.
