My Home Grown Radio Station



Broadcast Media in Cotabato City took off as early as February 27, 1957 when DXMS AM radio station goes on the air.  And for more than half a decade now it is known as the longest running Catholic radio station in the  city and the whole of Mindanao. Located still along Sinsuat avenue, the station became one of the city’s landmark.
Owned and operated by Notre Dame Broadcasting Corporation, it signs on at 4:30am and is on the air until 10:00pm seven days a week.  It is also known as the strongest AM radio station in South Central Mindanao Region.
Later the birth of its FM station DXOL 92.7 FM  came which is also managed by the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.  It is one of the entities belonging to the conglomerated Oblate Media center and this includes the Mindanao Cross which is the longest weekly surviving newspaper in Mindanao.
I happen to visit its FM station lately and saw what is inside the station including  one of the DJs. Since everyone goes global, the station can also be accessed through the internet  via the E Radio Portal.  Yes, let not forget the station’s tag line “TAYO PA RIN SYEMPRE”.
