History
As Campus Radio
In 1997, 102.3 Campus Radio in General Santos made its first broadcast all throughout Soccsksargen with the power of 15,000 watts on the FM Band. The first batch of DJ's made an implication to the listeners which has become popular to their slogan "Always and Forever". In 2001, the slogan was changed into "Kuyawa Ui!" (shocking), because of the series of bombings in Gensan last 2003 and the negative effects of the slogan to the station. The team decided to modified it into "Wow! Nindutah Ah!", which is also used in 103.5 Campus Radio Davao until today. From 2010 to 2012, its slogan was "The Best!", which was the slogan used by its flagship station back in the 80s. The slogan "Ayos!": a Filipino expression which is basically a positive response. made its way to popularity and familiarity because of its common use among Filipinos from 2012 to 2014.[1][2]
