I was tuned in this morning to Country 99.9 (DZWR), "the forerunner of folk, rock and country format in the Philippines," when I heard an ad announcing that DZWT is now online. The ad mentioned the site's URL, adding that DZWT can now be heard anywhere in the world. Wow, isn't this great news for kakailians living abroad who'd like to listen to the latest events here in Cordi?
The site offers not just Cordi news but Cordi music as well. As I write this post, I'm listening to a Kankana-ey version of the country song "Someone Else's Star" on DZWT's site. From Monday to Friday between 8:30 to 10:00 in the evening, they play Cordi songs in their program "Aweng Ti Amianan." Apart from playing "translated" versions of popular English country songs, they also play original Ibaloi, Kankana-ey, Ilocano, and other ethnic songs. Check out their program schedule here.
By the way, DZWR (FM) and DZWT (AM) are both run by the Mountain Province Broadcasting Corporation (MPBC), owned by the Diocese of Baguio. MPBC was founded in 1966 by the Belgian Catholic Missionaries Of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (CICM).
