Sir:

This refers to the pending application of GV Broadcasting System, Inc. with the City Council for a permit to operate and maintain an FM Radio Broadcast Station in the City of Olongapo. To this date, there are four (4) including one inside SBMA operating FM stations in the City, two (2) active AM Stations and an inactive AM station, with spill-over from almost all Metro Manila stations.

With the current economic problems of the country, and considering that the advertising market is not growing, in fact getting smaller, the addition of another broadcast station will put the financial viability of the local broadcast industry in peril. This will also create a bad perception that businesses operating in this city are losing. Furthermore, broadcast service will deteriorate thus depriving the community of good quality broadcast.

We humbly request the Honorable Members of the City Council to take this into consideration in the Council’s deliberation on the application of GV Broadcasting System, Inc. to operate and maintain another FM Radio Station in the City of Olongapo.

Thank you very much and more power.



Very truly yours,
