The Beatles

 

The Beatles broke up in 1970......

Midnight to 6 AM curfews during martial law, providing us the perfect excuse to party the whole night.

Curfew was midnight to 4 am. I had a curfew pass so I could be out during those hours.

Cable television didn't exist in the 1970s in the Philippines. We were limited to Channels 2, 4, 7, 9, and 13. All VHF channels were accessed off the air through aerial antennas. Most programming came from the United States. The largest television one could buy at that time was 19 to 20 inches. One had to actually go to the television and change channels by turning a knob. Volume control was similarly controlled by a knob.

 

Remote controls for the most part didn't exist in the Philippines in the 1970s. There were crude remotes that didn't work with infra-red but rather through inaudible sound which controlled the volume, channel, and on/off switch.

 

We've gone a long way since those times. Today, one can buy a 100" screen where you can watch high definition content on 3-D. Programming comes form different parts of the world. And there's so much more variety today.

Baguio started cable TV back in 1972. I installed a cable TV distribution system for an apartment building at the old ice plant in Trancoville. I also got I volved in planning cable TV distribution for a subdivision just outside Tagaytay. Didn't get built because the subdivision was abandoned.

[ermita rojo]

i was born in the 70s, and wasn't here yet when Martial Law was declared.

 

 

But if only to be witness to the glamour and all, i'd like to go back to this era.

EAGLES NEST in Antipolo was just a clearing on the shoulder of the road which is now the Padi's Point Area. You bring your cold beer and "joints" and looked at the night view of Manila's skyline.

martial law

[the_sentinel]

We listened to the same stations but I listened to this in the 80s because I was still a kid in the 70s.

Was also a kid back in the 70's but since there's a strong radio influence at home (my eldest sib is / was a FM DJ), I had an early start.

 

In the 80's, the station I listened to where:

 

1. 99.5RT (Rhythm of the City)

2. 97.1 WLS-FM (The Best Music) - only up to 1985 though

3. 101.1 KISS-FM (HOT HITS!)

4. 101.9 ZOO-FM (Hayop Talaga!)

5. 94.7 DWLL-FM (Mellow Touch)

6. 96.3 DWRK-FM (Real Radio) - not the WROCK version

[the_sentinel]

No WXB 102? That was the "in" station in the mid-80s. Puro new wave. I remember always waiting for the song " If You Leave" when I listen to this station.

That also. But since the signal was horrendously weak, it wasn't easy to pick up the frequency in the car while driving, or on the boombox in our school organization's tambayan...

 

I won't forget WXB 102 since our mobile disco group was featured one Saturday night. We were once doing a party in one of the clubhouses in QC when someone approached me and introduced himself as a DJ of WXB. Appreciating the playlist that we were doing, he invited us to be the mobile feature of the station for one Saturday.

 

Because the station didn't actually have sophisticated equipment, we were asked to bring a cassette tape of our best new wave mixes, provided that it was clear copy. We did so, went to the station in Taft around 8:30PM, and came on board at 9PM.

[the_sentinel]

I didn't know that their station was in Taft. There wasn't any station that played new wave music in 80s except that station.

RT did try to tinker with their playlist sometime 1986 when they reformatted and became the Red Hot Radio Station after Rhythm of the City. This was triggered by KISS-FM's success in eating up their listener share. In a knee-jerk move made by then part-owner cum DJ OB Hollywood Andrew, RT generally became a new wave station sprinkled with some American hits that didn't pan out. They reverted to the ROTC format a year or two after.

 

Yes, XB's location was in Manila, somewhere in the Taft area. Can't recall the actual street but it's not exactly what we normally see on television shows like WKRP in Cincinnati, those Wolfman Jack shows, and even those Howard Stern clips. It's a dingy, not even a building but more of a residential house type. Still, they played really great music that impacted heavily in the non-mainstream market.
