101.9 For Life (DWRR 101.9 MHz Metro Manila) is the flagship FM station of the ABS-CBN network in the Philippines. It was acquired by ABS-CBN in 1986 in order to expand its influence even further in the Filipino FM radio industry. It is broadcast live throughout the Philippine archipelago as well as throughout the world via The Filipino Channel (TFC).
[edit] History
101.9 For Life was first aired as KO Radio (DWKO-FM) in 1986, barely 4 months after ABS-CBN re-opened, playing the best hits during that time. Less than a year later (1987), the station reformatted and became known as Zoo 101.9 (DZOO-FM) which is best known for its diamond logo and a slightly uptrend pop sound.
In March of 1989, it reformatted again and this time it became popularly known as "Radio Romance", hence the intials RR, playing all easy-listening love songs, manned by all-female jocks. That year also signaled the station's first nationwide reach when 103.1 Baguio simulcasted its signals, ensuring travellers from Manila to as far north as Ilocos Sur, uninterrupted listening of its programs.
In August 1996, WRR regenerated itself into a mainstream pop music station in response to growing trend of "masa" radio or FM radio for the masses launched by STAR-FM a year earlier. This format plays not only love songs, but also dance and rock hits.
Recently though, whenever its on-air personalities would introduce the station, they have dropped the call letters (WRR) and would just say "Alam mo na yan, 101.9 For Life!
Current DJs are "the Prince of the Airwaves" Jack Melo,"Cutie DJ" Rnold Rei, "Pogi" Ric Rider, "Mr. DJ" Martin D., Laila, "Groovy DJ" China Heart, Don Henry and "Mister Kupido" Reggie Valdez.
