89.5 Star FM Baguio - A Lookback
89.5 Star FM had its early beginnings way back in August 1991, when Baguio was still recovering from the ruins of the July 1990 killer quake. It can be said that indeed, the timing was right, that Bombo Radyo Philippines decided to widen its broadcast horizon in Baguio by putting up an FM Station to “set the pace” and at the same time, to augment the present status then being enjoyed by its AM counterpart in the City of Baguio. Test broadcasts began on August 21, 1991. The station started off as 89.5 WIM, The Rhythm of the City. Shortly after, in a matter of half a year, the Radio Research Council, through its deputized survey agencies conducted the official radio listenership survey in Baguio. In less than one year of operation, 89.5 WIM, The Rhythm of the City bagged the number one crown, leaving behind its competitors by a unanimous landslide.
On April 22, 1994, all FM stations of Bombo Radyo Philippines were re-launched as STAR FM stations, save those that only began operations on or after this date. The move to re-name all FM stations as STAR FM was in a bid to provide a more “solid” identity for all FM stations of Bombo Radyo Philippines, since the FM stations were so closely associated with, if not mistaken for their AM counterparts.
89.5 Star FM is now on its 29th year, ruling the airwaves of Baguio and the nearby provinces, with spill-overs from up to as far as Tarlac, Pangasinan and La Union. We form part of a whole network of 20 AM and 11 FM stations, all contributing to the present status of Bombo Radyo Philippines as the Number One Radio Network in the Country, still growing and sowing the seeds of responsible broadcasting and airwave supremacy across the nation.
