KULAS: Dili gyud lalim ang Covid makaburyong. Haha..
How did the station survive amid the competition plus this pandemic?
SKY: Actually, we’re not so particularly concerned with the competition since no other station in Cebu plays this kind of stuff. We made adjustments on our operational schedule and power output. But we’re now back to our usual 24/7 programming.
During ECQ do you still report to the station?
JAY: Although we operate in full automation from 6 am `til 12 midnight, there were times that we had to go onboard.
How would you avoid replaying the same song during a show?
JESSIKA: It’s quite easy not to “replay” a song since the music software that we use immediately detects songs that’s been played in the past few minutes/hours.
Motukar sad mo og Beatles ug BeeGees?
KULAS: From The Beatles, Bee Gees, Spiral Staircase, The Eagles, James Taylor, America, etc...from the Standards to Classic Rock to New Wave, Pop & Dance, as long as the songs are certified hits from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and 2K, we’ve got it! That’s why our slogan is “Yesterday’s Hits Today.”
