In celebration of RW 95.1 FM’s 15 years of quality broadcast in the region, the station has recently staged an on-air acoustic battle intended to showcase Kapampangan talents.
Dubbed as ‘RW Acoustic Idol’, the contest was aired live over RW 95.1 FM last August 21, 2010 from 11:00 am- 1:00 pm from which listeners were able to hear live performances from the finalists.
Eight equally-talented acoustic singers battled off for the title. Each contestant had to sing two songs of their choice. And in the end, Toni and Ivan Reynes’ unique rendition of ‘Lucky ‘and ‘The man who can’t be moved’ captured the award and named as RW Acoustic Idol. The acoustic duo took home P15,000 cash prize. Aries Tiqui, on the other hand, bagged the 1st runner-up award with his version of ‘Baby I Love your Way’ and ‘Let Me Be The One’ while James Macatangcay, a blind man since birth emerged as 2nd runner-up with chosen songs ‘Hanggang’ and ‘Just once ’. Runners up took home cash prize of P10,000 and P5,000, respectively.
On its 15th year, RW 95.1 FM reaches a milestone of providing unbiased and objective views on news and public affairs, music and entertainment in the region. The station was hailed as the country’s Best FM Station in the 16th KBP Golden Dove Awards for its responsible and balanced programming.
