It was owned and operated by ConAmor Broadcasting Systems, with studios and transmitter located at Tagaytay City. The radio station took its name from the famous "Power 106" (KPWR) in Los Angeles, California. The flamboyant logo of Power 108 FM represented its love of the urban culture. HistoryIt was the first and only radio station in the Philippines to play hip hop and R&B 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Located near Taal Volcano, the "pirate" station began in 2001 as a blip on the screen to quickly becoming a force in the competitive radio market. The urban culture was an untapped market in the metropolis and Power 108 FM executives and DJs (power jocks) were very aware of this. Both management and on-air talent were passionate about playing music and sharing the culture which earned the respect of hip hop enthusiasts around Metro Manila. The original format did not have on-air personalities 24/7. As the station gained popularity, programming changes were made and more DJs were added. On-air personalities, 2001
Notable personalities that worked at the station were the late rapper Francis Magalona, using his on-air moniker as The Mouth and former MTV Philippines VJ and supermodel Sarah Meier. Power 108 FM eventually evolved as Project: Hip Hop which was created by three men, namely DJs Caine, Satoshi and Quaizy. The End of Power 108 FMPower 108 FM permanently signed off on August 31, 2004. No official announcement was made by the station and therefore speculation arose as to what the main reason was for its shutdown. With its signal reaching even the northern parts of Metro Manila, it was rumored to be due to its license. It supposedly allowed the station only to be heard in the Tagaytay area. In 2005, the Power 108 crew together with Cavite Businessman - Politician Mayor Dino Reyes Chua returned to the airwaves via a new radio station, Blazin' 105.9 (now Retro 105.9 DCG FM) in Pasig City. A major accomplishment of the station was to bring The Black Eyed Peas to the Philippines.{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}} Two years later, on the same frequency, 107.9 U Radio started broadcasting. When BLAZIN' 105.9 closed shop in mid-2008, Wave 891 in 2007 took over the format of Power 108 and the Pinoy hip hop scene, creating the 1st Urban Music Awards in 2010. ReferencesExternal links
