RADIO REFORMAT - worst one!
Campus Radio 97.1 WLS-FM is no more!
In a move that I can only suspect to be Mike Enriquez’s doing, the FM radio station of GMA is now known as 97.1 Barangay LS… Forever!
It thus joins Love Radio 90.7, Energy-FM 91.5, I-FM 93.9, 101.1 Yes-FM, 101.9 Alam Mo Na Yan and Star-FM 102.7 as ______ radio stations… well, you fill in the blank…
note: i have nothing against these stations, but I truly believe that FM stations, aside from late night news, should be at the forefront of inculcating English proficiency in young adults… now, LS-FM joins GMA-TV News as a media for shallow tagalog, taglish and pinoy street colloquialism in mainstream broadcasting… really sad, that’s how I feel…
what is worse is that the old Campus Radio used to be one of the more supportive english-language stations to pinoy bands… they have the Rock-It Launcher, they have the Campus Tour, they have Other People’s Music and they have the Top 20 @ 12, which is the only countdown (aside from the Stairway To Seven and 8-Ball) where there is often a 50-50 distribution between local bands and foreign acts….
i hope there is still a chance to revert to the old format… i ask you guys to sign the online petion below:

I understand your concern about Campus Radio being one of the common image of the radio stations that we have in the Philippines.. I also like Campus Radio’s unique image compared to other stations but most probably thats one way of GMA’s promoting the station to be mass-appealing.. it had been known to many that Campus Radio do not rate as high as Love radio or Yes FM… its part of their business… I just hope that they would reconsider the fact that their are also avid listeners to Campus radio.
