DWLL

DWLL (94.7 FM), branded as Mellow 947, is an FM radio station, airing an Adult Top 40 format. It is owned by FBS Radio Network Inc. The station's studio and transmitter are located at Paragon Plaza, EDSA, Mandaluyong City. Mellow 947 operates 24/7.

History

The station began broadcasts in 1973 (when the Philippines was under Martial Law) as DWLL-FM, The Mellow Touch, one of the pioneer FM stations that did not have live announcers and music DJs in their programming. The station relied entirely on the pre-recorded voice-over of retired former DWBL disc jockey Butch Gonzales to bridge segues between songs. Butch Gonzales' taped voice-over also served the purpose of an occasional time-check, usually at the "Top" and "Bottom" of certain hours of each day. Butch Gonzales' voice also became the Mellow Touch's signature voice, as he softly reminded the loyal listeners of tunes for "a bike ride along the boulevard", every hour as the Station ID jingle plays. The sound of his voice instantly translates to soft sentimental music that was clearly associated with the Mellow music of this FM station at the time.

DXBL

DXBL (95.7 FM) - operating as Mellow 957 - is a music FM station owned by FBS Radio Network Inc. in the Philippines. The station's studio is located at 3rd Floor, TS Fashion Bldg., Corrales Ave., Cagayan De Oro, Philippines. It is a 24-hour operating station, (except on Mondays where it signs off at midnight to 4:00 AM), except Holy Week each year where it signs off at midnight of Maundy Thursday and lasts until 4:00 AM of Easter Sunday.

History

Around 1992, Mellow Touch 94.7 (now Mellow 947) spread all over the Philippines. This is the 3rd radio Mellow station. At that time, Mellow 957 was known as Mellow Touch 95.7.

Today, to emphasize this shift in programming, it has changed their station title to just plain Mellow 957. Its programs generally aim to bring out the mellow side of rock music fans & bring easy listening music.

From 2012 to 2014, Brigada News FM programs are aired on this station as blocktimers while the network preparing for their grand launch of its own FM station in Cagayan de Oro on 102.5 mHz.

Wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing. The wheel is one of the main components of the wheel and axle which is one of the six simple machines. Wheels, in conjunction with axles, allow heavy objects to be moved easily facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Wheels are also used for other purposes, such as a ship's wheel, steering wheel, potter's wheel and flywheel.

Common examples are found in transport applications. A wheel greatly reduces friction by facilitating motion by rolling together with the use of axles. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by the application of another external force or torque.

Etymology

The English word wheel comes from the Old English word hweol, hweogol, from Proto-Germanic *hwehwlan, *hwegwlan, from Proto-Indo-European *k^wek^wlo-, an extended form of the root *k^wel- "to revolve, move around". Cognates within Indo-European include Icelandic hjól "wheel, tyre", Greek κύκλος kúklos, and Sanskrit chakra, the latter both meaning "circle" or "wheel".
