Radio Tour DZXL 558 KHZ
I’m so excited to know more about radio. I and some of my blockmates went last Tuesday, July 15, 2008 at Guadalupe Station for a radio tour at DZXL 558. I was early so I decided to walk around the place by myself. One area which caught my attention is the number of people waiting in the Public Service Center. I interviewed some of the officers in charge in that place and they tell me something about the Action Center. People consult and seek advices in any problems that they encountered. In our society nowadays, people tend to ask help to the media rather than the police or our government. They wanted a past solution to their problem and the only way or option that they see is through radio station. They believe that when a problem was announced to the public, the person who’s responsible for the problem will make a quick action for them to clean their names and solve or clarify the issue. I’m glad that this area gave a free of charge consultation on blood pressure which helps its listeners or supporter of the station to monitor their health status. I realized the importance of AM station and their public service to its listeners. Recording room, master control, news room incoming, public service center, action center, Production assistant area, these are some of the part of the radio station that we saw. We enjoyed this radio tour; I just hope that this kind of activity will continue for the benefit of Mass Communication Students. Our Professor, Sir Salvador Oberas gave us a tour and let us explore his working area. He explained to us the functions of each department and discussed its responsibility for the outcome of a good radio program. I was so impressed when my Prof Buddy Oberas and Amelyn Veloso were on board; their voice is captivating and they pronounced the news clearly. They also used strategies so that their listeners will not to get bored. In related to my future profession, I’m glad because I already have a background on how this kind of work is functioning. I understand their company’s procedure and how a radio station works and divide their task for each department.
