Team Airwaves 101.1: Simply the Best!

Simply amazing! That's the first thing that came to my mind upon deciding to write this blog. This is about a newfound family no other than Air Waves FM-Mellow Touch family.


But how did I get to know Air Waves FM? Astigryan, who is my batchmate since college informed me of this mellow touch station via the internet. He said it was nice that makes work fun and easy.  Since I'm getting used to and almost memorize all the songs in my playlist, I immediately looked for the website for a change since it was my routine from day one to tune in to my mp3 player from sunrise to sunset while in the office. And poof! It was really cool! The Mellow Touch music the station plays is a great relaxation mode while busy doing tasks on the desk.


Erwebs, as everyone dubs is a great avenue for kamustahan, asaran, and all for Filipinos here and abroad. It was designed primarily to connect each and every Filipino worldwide to come together virtually. This creates the feeling of being "at home" due to the atmosphere in the chat-box. It seems like we are one and had known each other for a long time. Airwaves FM 101.9 has brought changes in our social life. We  got to meet new people and share our experiences, likes and dislikes and everything under the sun through the chat box! Yes, we have the chatbox to interact with one another. What makes it best is that the DJ's are just like any listener. They let the listeners feel that they are not far different at all. The bonding brought by the online radio station really created a strong family tie in each and every listener and DJ.

The AWFM Addicts with Bossing JFrank and DJEnrico

We had a blast last 18 December 2010, at Agogo Cafe in Ortigas. It was a fun-filled and jam-packed event as the "addict" airwaves avid fans/members/listeners/chatters came together for the GRAND EYEBALL and CHRISTMAS PARTY hosted by the voices behind AWFM---that is the "cool" DJ's headed by Bossing JFrank. It was our first time to meet each other and yet it seemed like we have known each other long ago. Except of course that we already have friends whom we know before the airwaves thing.


Just after this first meet-up, series of jamming and gimmicks had been made by most of the AWFM addicts here in the Philippines and abroad. Weekend parties, birthday celebrations and even weddings and christening! Name it, the erwebs are always there in flock! That's the confidence and trust built just by merely listening to the radio! 


So what's with AWFM aside from the cool DJ's and the chat-box? Of course the great station programs which make the listening worthwhile and addictive as well. By the way, the station plays our favorite music 24/7! So how does this happen? Starting from sunrise to another sunrise, you will hear the songs played as long as you have an internet connection at home since it is an online radio station. Broadcast stations are either in Lucena City Philippines or sometimes at our Bossing DJ Frank's residence in Denmark! And I quote the program descriptions as it appears in the website as follows:
