    The classification and regulation of AM Radio programs
    Balagosa, Sheena Marie K. (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2013-04)
    The study "The Classification and Regulation of AM Radio Programs" provides us the reasons why there is a need to classify and reinforce regulation on AM radio programs based on the MTRCB guidelines, the KBP Code, and the opinion of Ilonggo radio listeners and broadcast practitioners. The study covered 12 barangays with 400 respondents and eight broadcast practitioners from four AM radio stations in Iloilo City. From the results of the study, we have found out that radio stations created program innovations that affected the listeners. There is a need to put classification in order to separate sensitive topics that are not suitable for all listeners, to protect children by knowing which programs they can listen to, to avoid hearing double meaning words, extremely violent stories and sensitive topics about sex. There is a need to reinforce regulation because of the failure to adhere to broadcast standards of some radio programs, KBP's leniency in the implementation of its rules and regulation and the effectiveness of self-regulation. Thus, we have the determined that there is a need to put classification and to reinforce regulation in AM radio programs to protect the moral values of Filipino radio listeners.

    Abad, Catherine Grace; Francisco, Franz C.; Gador, Fevie Anne (Division of Humanities, College of Arts and Sciences, University of the Philippines Visayas, 2010-04)
    Shock Talk Radio Programs are gaining multitudes of listeners within Iloilo. Mama Monyeka and Talk to Papa ,two of the most popular Shock Talk-Radio programs, are the subject of the research. In this study the researchers assessed the different perceptions and gratification sought and obtained by Ilonggo listeners with different educational orientation; Out-of-School Youth, High school, and College. The researchers used descriptive research design and survey questionnaires to gather information. Result showed the OSY are the ones with the most positive perception towards Shock Talk-radio programs, followed by the High School Group and the and lastly the College group. Also the gratification that is mainly sought is entertainment needs among the three groups. Albeit needs such as information, personal identify and social interaction were also identified as needs that the audience seek to satisfy. For gratifications obtained it was shown that only 5% among the total number of the respondent claimed that needs outside entertainment have been met by these programs. The need which was satisfied the most by these programs again is the entertainment need. Using the Theory of Uses and Gratifications it was found out that the audiences' physical environment (in here educational orientation) affects the perception towards a media content (Shock Talk - radio programs) and influences his/her reasons for consumption (gratification sought).Finally media content such as Shock Talk- radio programs answer the audience' needs.
