Retro 105.9 DCG-FM will have a new station manager.
Willy Inong (a.k.a. Hill Billy Willy), formerly of Wish 1075, has taken over the said role, with predecessor Cris Hermosisima taking over as consultant. The veteran jock will also be on board every weekday from 6:00-10:00 a.m., starting today.
The new weekday schedule of Retro 105.9 will be as follows:
6:00-10:00 a.m. – Hill Billy Willy
10:00-2:00 p.m. – Karen
2:00-6:00 p.m. – Joshua
6:00-10:00 p.m. Jimmy Jam
10:00-2:00 a.m. – Andy Tuna
2:00-6:00 a.m. – Automated music
This should be a breath of fresh air for a station that needs another on-air voice and some tweaks in their playlist. It’s up to Hill Billy Willy to expand and reinvent Retro 105.9, which has been recently criticized for having a shallow and repetitive playlist.
As for Wish 1075, they have not announced a successor to Hill Billy Willy as station manager. More updates will come in the near future.
In other news, Wave 891 is looking for a new DJ. This comes after Peter Clay left the station for undisclosed reasons.

And finally, DZRJ 810 and 8TriMedia Broadcasting signed a blocktime deal that would allow the latter to air their programs on the former. Previously 8TriMedia was in a blocktime deal with DWBL 1242.
The new blocktime deal will not affect the on-air identity of DZRJ, which will remain mostly in English and under the tagline ‘The Voice of the Philippines’. The 8TriMedia block airs weekdays from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Programs produced by 8TriMedia may also be seen on its official website.
