OMG...
It's final. Barangay LS is here to stay whether you like it or not. Joe Spinner and I, together with some friends, had this bit of premonition-ish thing about LS-FM's future plans about the station sometime last January. He said we should all look out for possible changes within a span of 16 years - uh Joe, like, it was barely a month that had passed. He added that due to the current fad nowadays in the broadcasting scene a station must not merely stick to what they have got; it must "evolve," or else you'll lose in the long run. You see the paradox here? Campus Radio is doing verrry fine, and then what. Yeah, yeah, I get it. Reformat so you'd attract more audience? Hello. Instead of inviting the listeners GMA Network has just concocted a possible solution to the eventual extinction of LS by warding off the previous target audience, i.e. the youth.
Jaybee has got something to say about it: (Note: Some parts were excluded)
"i know how u and ur friends feel.. its really devastating, and believe me, no one is more disappointed and shocked. it was a decision from the bosses of GMA, and as much as i'd love to say this will only be temporary, it is not, and won't be temporary... its all part of the business...
if u really want ur voice to be heard, there's this petition site brought up by a concerned listener, u might wanna check it out...

thanks for all the love and support! let's pray something good will come out of this..."
There you go. That's Jaybee Jariol for you, the host of the Afternoon Delight (and obviously one of the hottest DJs in LS).
As for me, all I can say is that if station reformatting is indeed the answer, make the changes in such a way that listeners would still appreciate. Okay, we cannot please everyone but that exactly is the challenge to it. Some stations have successfully done it, and the formula simply did not materialize in a matter of weeks or months; it took years for the audience to somehow formally accept them. And I guess Barangay LS wouldn't so make it. Guys, you're losing track.
Let's all sign the petition, won't we?
