Radio station Wave 89.1 FM, Philippines, announced that it was signing off in a statement on its Facebook page on Monday night.

The station first started broadcasting in 1975 as DMZ 89.1, or the Dance Music Zone station playing R&B, hip-hop and rhythmic contemporary music. Wave 89.1 began airing in 2001 with a selection of easy listening and R&B tracks, but has since concentrated on airing urban contemporary playlists.

The radio station thanked its fans and listeners over the past years on the air.

“While our hearts are pinched, we want to announce that Wave 89.1 has made its final broadcast. So many memories. Good times and bad. Laughter and tears. We changed the game. No one can say otherwise,” it said.

It had also thanked former DJ’s, managers, directors, technical staff, guests, and everyone else who had visited their studios.

“We did a lot of great things together! It’s a sad day for all of us, but we’re gonna remember all the amazing people and music that came through our airwaves,” it wrote.

Wave has since deleted the photo of its statement on Facebook, replacing it with a photo of a map, and has locked its X account.

The Adventist World Radio (AWR) has started broadcasting on the frequency and has branded itself as AWR 89.1 FM.

“AWR 89.1 FM is a Christian radio station that aims to inspire, uplift, and educate listeners through its diverse range of content,” the website of the new station described.

“We recognize the importance of holistic well-being, including physical, mental, and spiritual health. The station features programs on healthy living, nutrition, fitness, mental health, and other topics related to overall wellness,” it added.
