Fellow OFWs and Migrant workers were smiling when they heard the song Pusong Bato of Tilaok Band and Buko from Jireh Lim. The first song played in the radio was from AEGIS – I LOVE NA LANG SA TAGO. And the First Listener liker was Ms. PAM YAP of Edmonton, Alberta. Majority of listeners were from the age of late 20’s to the middle of 40’s. Fellows from the homeland Philippines connected to their love ones in foreign countries preferred to listen to those music of the ’70’s and ’80s.
Moving on to the following months , some local and international artists (singer and writers) were featured in the radio’s website. In our first few months only Filipino music are played. the joy and big smile on everyone’s face widened when we received our SOCAN Licensed. Everybody were happy as we could play their foreign artist favourite singers’ song too.
Canadian Pinoy Radio-Montreal shared news reports of event happening in the Philippines and abroad. Partners in media for events going on here in Montreal like Concert of singers here and to those from Philippines coming here in Montreal. CPRM also broadcast the live mass celebration from the Filipino Catholic Mission of Montreal, to fill in the spiritual needs of our listeners particularly those in the middle east and some part of the globe last year during Holy Week and few more weeks. Presently, live mass is temporarily on hold due to some technical difficulties. More hopeful this year, everything will be fixed. Christian songs are played every day from 5:00-6:00 AM and PM EST or Montreal time.
