[edit] Format

Home Radio follows an easy listening program format. Soft adult contemporary music make up the majority of songs in the master playlist of this fully automated radio station. This format was introduced to Home Radio by Nestor Doria, the current FM Network Program Director, in 2000. This format was an immediate success, increasing Home Radio's ratings and earning the title "#1 Easy Listening Station" in Metro Manila in a matter of six months. This format was then adapted and implemented to the provincial stations.

Being fully automated, Home Radio has no disc-jockeys, only canned spiels and liners. This includes time checks, song sponsorships and other announcements. Home Radio projects a female image voiced by DJ Lani Chan. And, despite being a non-entity FM station, Home Radio Iloilo delivers live hourly news updates from newscaster Andie.

Frederick Billano, also known as Rickspade, is the Production Specialist and male voice-over of Home Radio. Ronnel Estanislao is the Music Librarian.
