DZTR

DZTR (89.5 MHz in Naga City, Philippines), branded as Beat 89.5, is an FM radio station owned & managed by the Ateneo de Naga University under Manila Broadcasting Company. The station's studio is located on the 3rd Floor of Phelan Building, Ateneo de Naga University, Ateneo Avenue, Naga City, Camarines Sur. This station is currently leaves on the air due to technical difficulties in antenna and transmitter. The frequency is now used by Radyo Natin Naga located at 3/F of Naga City Market in Naga City, Camarines Sur which also owned by Manila Broadcasting Company.

The station first started broadcast as Yes FM 89.5 Naga in 1998 and later on, under the new management & ownership of the Ateneo de Naga University, was changed to The Beat 89.5 "The Metro's New Rhythm" in the early 2005. The Beat 89.5, on its early years, was branded more as a Rock Station rather than a Contemporary Hit Radio Station because it played mostly rock music mixed with a little Pop & RnB which confused the listeners in a way. The identity crisis of whether to be a Rock Station or a Contemporary Hit Radio Station went on until the last quarter of 2009. On January 4, 2010 the struggle ended and a new Beat was born - Beat 89.5 "The Big Switch" formally started broadcasting as a Contemporary Hit Radio Station.

Beat (1997 film)

Beat (Hangul: 비트; RR: Biteu) is 1997 South Korean gangster film directed by Kim Sung-su and written by Sam Shin about a high school dropout who is forced into gang life. Jung Woo-sung played the lead Min and Ko So-young his love interest Romy. The plot is based on a bestselling graphic novel by Huh Young-man.

The role solidified Jung as a leading Korean actor and was also based on his real-life experience as a high school dropout. This was the third and final film pairing Jung and Ko, but the director would later work with Jung again in Musa (2001).

Plot

Three friends in Korea all drop out of high school. Min is a feared brawler whose widowed mother is a drunk. The story traces his journey from high school to the underworld as his best friend introduces him to life in the mob. Complicating Min's life further is his love for the volatile Romy, a girl from an upper-class family with dreams of going to a prestigious college.

Beat (police)

In police terminology, a beat is the territory and time that a police officer patrols. Beat policing is based on traditional policing (late 19th century) and utilises the close relationship with the community members within the assigned beat to strengthen police effectiveness and encourage cooperative efforts to make a safer community. Beat police typically patrol on foot or bicycle which provides more interaction between police and community members.

Before the advent of personal radio communications, beats were organised in towns and cities to cover specific areas, usually shown on a map in the police station and given some sort of name or number. Officers reporting on duty would be allocated a beat by their sergeant and sometimes given a card indicating that the officer should be at a particular point at set times, usually half an hour, or forty-five minutes apart. The points would usually be telephone kiosks, police pillars or boxes, or perhaps public houses where it would be possible to phone the officer should he be needed to respond to an incident. The officer would remain at the point for five minutes and then patrol the area gradually making his way to the next point.

Beat (band)

Beat were a Finnish band who represented their country in Eurovision Song Contest 1990. The group performed the song Fri? (Free?) in Swedish and finished 21st out of 22 countries, scoring 8 points. The group was composed of members Janne Engblom, Kim Engblom, Tina Krausen and Tina Petersson.

The song was also recorded in Finnish and English.
