Radio Tour

 
DWIZ with Mr. Rey Langit
 
                     When we wanted to listen to certain news and announcements,  we consider  tuning  on thru  radio, it also through that medium when new songs and music can be heard, new artists who promotes their albums and concerts but have we ever thought to ourselves, how do a radio station really looks like?, I mean, the entire production of it, the faces of the dj’s and even the equipments used.
It was June 20, when me together with 5 of my groupmates had actually had the chance to visit certain radio stations as part of our requirements. At first, it was totally hard, since making appointments for a radio station was pretty difficult, there were instances where you can be rejected nor ignored simply because you don’t have the so-called “koneksyon sa loob”. But after so many trials and help from our dear friends, we first got a schedule to be in DWIZ, where we’ve interviewed the station manager, Mr. Rey Langit. It feels so great hearing his experiences as he starts the industry that may really serve as a learning for us students as we happen to just start with the mass industry per se.
Just one of the lines that was uttered by Mr. Langit, that made me realize
“opportunity might only come once, so once you have it – you have to give in your 100% into it”
how important a single opportunity is, since there were certain instances
in my life where I tend to ignore this and that and always assure that
there would be a next time, but I guessed I’m wrong on that! In other
words I have to be very opportunistic and to grab every chance that could
help me to improved my skill and to become better on my chosen field.
Those experiences of Mr. Rey that he shared would surely stock into my mind for long.
So, after an hour of interview with him, we got the chance to visit its F.M radio station 97.9 home radio on the dot where the dj’s were also very accommodating although were not scheduled to be there, still, they’ve entertained us. But when it comes to the whole production of the A.M station and the F.M station, it feels like the F.M are more relaxed comparing it to the A.M, where it dealt more on broad news and social issues where on the F.M, it tackles more on entertainment, music, dedication and the like.

DZEC

And so, after staying there for a while we’ve then visited DZEC, upon going to the place,  I’ve realized how important it is to know the exact location of it so that, you might not end up going back and forth on  various streets and places (like what we’ve experiencedJ) and then, it was thru DZEC where we saw the different rooms for the whole production, we’ve really witnessed how  things do work  inside the radio station including the announcers the director and same with the technicians on board.
Although it is true that radio could really be a part of our field on the future, still, it feels so nice that how as early as today, there is a certain mindset that instills into our mind where we could also indulged into radio station if that;s the field we could excel forJ
