CADIObenefits

For Broadcast Coverage & Audience

  • This innovation can serve as customer service assistant by means of giving instructions, directions and paging the lost and found things or persons (more informative customer service).
  • The market will be amused every time they hear and see their favorite DJs and celebrities being interviewed. The same thing happens when their requested song is being played (entertaining).
  • Giving the suppliers and concessionaires a better way of promoting their items is goodwill (captive market advertising).
  • Maximizing the ceiling speakers of the coverage owners through a live, entertaining and promotional broadcast ensures value (productive).
  • A broadcast coverage owner gains income from its CADIO booth and audio advertising (income generating).
  • It has a long time of entertaining & educating people through its CADIO program. The longer the hour, the higher the mileage (practical & educational entertainment).
  • Based on research (by Ronald E. Milliman), music is thought to improve establishment's image, make employees happier, reduce employee turnover, and stimulates the customer purchasing. Depending on the tempo & rhythm, it affects the broadcast coverage traffic flow and sales volume (music makes life more pleasurable).

For Advertisers & Audience

  • The opportunity to remind the market of what products or services or promotions are available in a few minutes before they get to the selling area (fast ad service).
  • The market will be amused every time they hear and see their favorite DJs and celebrities being interviewed. The same thing happens when their requested song is being played (entertaining).
  • Having a high mileage of POP can increase your sales. People don’t have a choice but to hear your commercial. They’re not going to cover their ears once they hear your commercial (captive market).
  • It has a very high interactive advertising approach through promotional contests (interactive advertising).
  • Strategic visual ads. People don’t have much time to read but placing ads on its booth panels & top boards with a talking CADIOjock is a good idea (high attention getter).
  • Many small captive market coverage, done in a tour or stationary approach is not a waste of money. The more CADIO stations placed in different coverage areas mean, the more captive market; and again, the more captive market, the higher the exposure of its ads (big fish in a small pond).

  • CHR - (also known as Contemporary Hit Radio or Top 40) is a radio format that is common in the United States and Canada that focuses on playing current and recent popular music as determined by the top 40 music charts. There are several subcategories, dominantly focusing on rock, pop, or urban music. Used alone, CHR most often refers to the CHR/pop format. The term Contemporary Hit Radio was coined in the early 1980s by Radio & Records magazine to designate Top 40 stations which continued to play hits from all musical genres as pop music splintered into adult contemporary, urban contemporary and other formats. The term top 40 is also used to refer to the actual list of hit songs, and, by extension, to refer to pop music in general. The term has also been modified to describe Top 50; Top 30; Top 20; Top 10; Hot 100 (each with its number of songs) and Hot Hits radio formats, but carrying more or less the same meaning and having the same creative point of origin with Todd Storz as further refined by Gordon McLendon as well as Bill Drake.

  • JAZZ - an original American musical art form which originated around the beginning of the 20th century in African American communities in the Southern United States out of a confluence of African and European music traditions. The use of blue notes, call-and-response, improvisation, polyrhythms, syncopation and the swung note of ragtime are characteristics traceable back to jazz's West African pedigree. During its early development, jazz also incorporated music from New England's religious hymns and from 19th and 20th century American popular music based on European music traditions. The origins of the word "jazz," which was first used to refer to music in about 1915, are uncertain (for the origin and history, see Jazz (word)). Jazz has, from its early 20th century inception, spawned a variety of sub genres, from New Orleans Dixieland dating from the early 1910s, big band-style swing from the 1930s and 1940s, Bebop from the mid-1940s, a variety of Latin-jazz fusions such as Afro-Cuban and Brazilian jazz from the 1950s and 1960s, jazz-rock fusion from the 1970s and later developments such as acid jazz.

  • OLD - is a generic term commonly used to describe a radio format that usually concentrates on Top 40 music from the 70’s to 2006 (also '50s & '60s). Oldies are typically from R&B, pop and rock music genres. Country, jazz, classical music, and other formats are generally not considered oldies music, although some of those genres have their own oldies format (for instance, classic country). Occasionally the term is used to describe the rare station that includes '40s music as well, although music from before 1955 (coinciding with the "birth of rock'n'roll"), is typically the domain of the adult standards format. However, the term constitutes ambiguity for people who like old dancing music. This format is sometimes called Golden Oldies, though this term usually refers to music exclusively from the '50s and early '60s (also termed "Real Oldies" or "True Oldies" by some radio stations which specialize in music from this era). Oldies radio typically features artists such as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Supremes, The Four Seasons, and Sam Cooke; as well as such musical movements and genres as doo-wop, soul music, Motown, the British Invasion, early girl groups, surf music, and bubblegum pop. Most oldies stations limit their on-air playlists to no more than 300 songs, on the philosophy that average listeners will stay tuned provided they're familiar with the hits being played. The drawback to this concept is the endless repetition of the station's program library. Oldies has some overlap with the classic rock format, which concentrates on the rock music of the late-'60s and '70s and also plays newer material made in the same style.

  • OPM - Original Pilipino Music, now more commonly termed Original Pinoy Music, (frequently abbreviated to OPM) originally referred only to Filipino pop songs, especially those in the ballad form; such as songs popularized in the 1970s through the mid-1990s by major commercial Filipino pop artists like Ryan Cayabyab, Sharon Cuneta, Kuh Ledesma, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Basil Valdez, Rey Valera, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, Jaya, Lani Misalucha, Lea Salonga, Janno Gibbs and the APO Hiking Society. In the passage of time as well as the development of many diverse and alternative musical styles in the Philippines, however, the term OPM now refers to any type of Original Philippine Music created in the Philippines or composed by individuals of Philippine extraction, regardless of location at the time when composed. The lyrics, in fact, may be in any language (although most of it are written either in Filipino/Tagalog, English or taglish).

  • POP - a sub genre of contemporary popular music that typically has a dance-along and happy rhythm or beat, simple melodies and a repeating structure. Pop song lyrics are often emotional, commonly relating to love, loss, emotion, or dancing. Pop music is distinguished from classical (or art music) and from folk music[1]. Pop songs are often written by professional songwriters, and performed and popularized by singers, as opposed to other popular music genres, such as rock and hip hop, where performers tend to write their own songs. Pop is distributed by major record companies as part of a global music market through mass marketing through radio, television. In the recorded music era, the single (a single song) and the album (a collection of songs) are the usual methods of distributing pop music. Pop has been distributed in many formats included vinyl records, cassette tapes, compact discs, and Internet downloads. Pop music is arguably the world's biggest music genre.

CADIOprofile

CADIOdefinition

CADIO came from the words “cable radio.” CADIO is pronounced “K-dio.” CADIO is a non-traditional, interactive advertising devise and a medium that has a
booth ad system that exhibits the advertiser’s products/services to its market through signage and other forms of display; but not limited to an audiovisual performance, which is connected to its CADIO ad/program ad system. CADIO music and commercial programs are in FM radio sound format. In other words, CADIO is like an FM radio sound system that can be set up inside a broadcast coverage such as Airports, Amusement Parks, Boats & Piers, Boutiques, Buildings, Bus Terminals, Department Stores, Gas Stations, Government Places, Hardware Stores, Malls, Places of Events, Private Coverage Places, Public Places, Restaurants, Schools, Supermarkets, Train Stations and Wholesaler-Retail Places; using cables coming from its audio-booth system hooked up to its coverage’s PA system. The broadcast coverage’s music and audio-type commercials & promotions are heard over its ceiling
speakers. Most of the time, these are the speakers that are already been used for paging by customer service representatives. The short term for CADIO is MIE; Music, Information & Entertainment.

CADIOevolution

It can be traced from the following media:

  • an FM radio program format
  • a customer service or paging system
  • a mobile sound & light system
  • a special designed booth system
  • an audiovisual performance
  • a music television video or video ads
  • a half brother of the broadcast twins, radio & TV
Likewise, the combination of the above mentioned evolution is CADIO. The more CADIO stations placed in different coverage areas mean, the more captive market; and again, the more captive market, the higher the exposure of its ads.

CADIOhistory


At first, this was called “Radio-Type and Paging Booth” by Makati Cinema Square (MCS) in the early 80’s. During that time, they thought of it as a training ground for DJs who aspire to be FM jocks and an announcement booth for the mall. Most of the DJs there became FM jocks like Sgt. Pepper (former DJ and station manager of Magic 89.9WTM), The Blade (a DJ of 103.5 K Lite), Jhonny Kismo (who became an FM jock of LA 105.9 and 89.9 WTM), Eric J and Martin D (a star DJ of WRR 101.9).

In 1989, Fair Center and Plaza Fair Sta. Cruz imitated the project and pirated Eric J, The Blade and Martin D. The style is the same with MCS but the promotional announcement is given more emphasis.
Before the innovation was transferred to Fairmart Farmers Plaza Cubao in 1993 with Tee Bone (a DJ of Yes FM 101.1), Pom Cruise (a former DJ of DM 95.5 FM) and to Martin D, Nestor Panganiban has thought of it like a real FM radio format when he was at Duty Free Philippines back in 1992. A customer asked him about the promo of Jhonnie Walker on “Scratch and Win” which had a poster in front and streamers on its selling floor. After a few minutes, many came and asked about the same thing. His co-worker John Gillardo told him that he sounded like a tape recorder. And Nestor responded, maybe it would be better to have an FM radio station type of booth within Duty Free that will announce all the promos of it through its ceiling speakers. From that time, the idea of Nestor made a great impact. So, he started studying the advertising situation of Duty Free and later proposed a project to them in 1993 called “Radio Type Booth.” Unfortunately, the proposal was turned down.

After several months the idea was developed at Shoppesville Arcade (WRS Radio Shoppesville), Greenhills with Sonny Laragan (former DJ of Love Radio DZMB) as the Station Manager. Nestor Panganiban applied there as a DJ in 1994 and was accepted and terminated after two weeks without due process. After a few years, he came back and was accepted for the second time with Benjie Tabaque (former DJ of Love Radio DZMB) and John Boncan (became an FM DJ at Hive 100.3 RJFM). The three of them worked together on the idea of “Radio Type Booth.” At that time, John Boncan named it Live-Interactive Radio (LIR) but Nestor named it “Mall Radio” which was copyrighted in 1997.

On the same year, John Boncan proposed it to Virra Mall Greenhills which was approved and implemented in 1998. John became the OIC and Nestor as one of the DJs. At that time, Nestor was given the opportunity by Richard Steele (Program Director) to work as an FM DJ in Pinoy Radio DM 95.5. Richard gave Nestor the air name “Andy Gold.” Later on Andy became a KBP member (Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster sa Pilipinas). Then he applied as DJ in a cruise line (Star Cruise) and during the interview, an idea of Boat Radio popped into his mind and proposed it right away. The interviewer appreciated his idea and told him to make a proposal. Unfortunately, he wasn’t hired because according to them, he was overqualified.

When Virra Mall stopped its operation on its “Virra Mall Radio, Paul Diesel (former DJ of Star FM), Big Brian (a former FM DJ of K91.5 FM) and Andy Gold proposed another management to them which did not materialized.

So in November 11, 1997, Andy started expounding the two ideas in his mind, mall radio/radiovision and boat radio which became “Cable Radio.” The popularity of cable TV gave him the concept to make it “Cable Radio.” Afterwards Andy asked Big Brian his partner to make the two words into one that would create an impact. Brian told Andy, Cable + Radio is “KADIO.” Andy said, no; it should sound K-dio not KADIO. So, Andy changed the pronunciation and made it K-DIO and spelled it CADIO. Here, they started marketing it.

In 1999, Big Brian and Andy Gold tried this innovation in three malls; Robinsons, Sta. Lucia and Metro Mall together with other DJs like Rick Stryker (a former FM DJ of Pinoy Radio DM 95.5), John Lemon (a former FM DJ of Magic 89.9 and Pinoy Radio DM 95.5), DJ Kris and Mark Detail (former FM DJ of Star FM). After the event, they ceased operating for awhile to pave way in making a research and development program.

In 2003, Andy called-up Big Brian about the CADIO business and told him a project that he wanted to enter into. During the conversation, Big Brian thought of the idea of having an exclusive booth system. Meaning, a client can have its own version of a special designed booth like a hamburger (e.g. Mc Donalds). Here, Andy cultivated his experiences in PICO Arts (a contractor of booth system and special design booths) as Project Manager back in 1996 to 2000. Also, Andy tried working as a freelance host for SM supermalls & other events for 2 years, to gain more ideas on “Event management.” Then this became the start of the ironed innovation of “CADIO.” It doesn’t only play spot commercials but also gives emphasis on its booth ad system.


Now, CADIO is on the go. With God on their side, Andy believes that this innovation would prevail one day. May God bless CADIO.

Last 2006, Andy rebuilt CADIO with the help of his friend Ogie Caja whose advertising company “Maya Advertising & Omnisource” has been in the industry for 23 years. Their line of business is outdoor, indoor and events advertising. They are the backbones of CADIO Advertising. So, CADIO had its event in “Auto Summit 2006,” a car show done at Festival Supermall last June 17, 2006 with Maya & Omnisource as the organizer.

Then, CADIO had an opportunity to test it in two McDonald’s stores in Metro Manila. Fortunately, CADIO passed the evaluation.

At present, CADIO is one of the suppliers of McDonald’s in CADIOcannedPragram. This is a pre-recorded music and commercial program on mp3 file format that can be played in their stores. This would sound like an FM radio inside an outlet once a customer or anybody hears the music and their promotions.
