RX 93.1 Opens Up the Airwaves to Indie Artists By Jim Ayson
Wednesday, 08 September 2004
Indie artists usually find a friendly ear on a few radio stations open to playing their music (NU107 for one), but most stations appear to concentrate on the product being pushed by the major record labels.
We just got word that RX 93.1 FM has now deviated slightly from the contemporary hit-radio (CHR) format focusing on music from the majors and has started a policy of accepting indie material - and playing these on the regular playlists alongside the Britneys and the Outkasts of the world.
According to RX 93.1 DJ Francesca, a program called INDIE GROUND has been started to solicit material from indie artists for playing on the regular all-day playlist (not just on a special time slot).
Francesca also mentions that the station is still looking for indie artists to add to the playlist. For more info, contact her at
indie@rx931.com "... or stop by the station at the 17th Floor of Strata 2000, Emerald Ave., Ortigas Center".
