Monster RX 93.1 is undoubtedly the leading upscale-audience pop radio station in Manila, with radio jocks making such a major impact on their listeners’ lives. Not surprising is the popularity enjoyed today by RX 93 DJs not just on the radio, but even on social media, TV or live events.
No wonder, The Monster recently announced its exclusive partnership with Curve Entertainment for the talent management and development of select members of the station’s Air Staff. Gone are the days really, when DJs were just relegated inside the cramped radio booth.
Curve Entertainment was the choice of The Monster to be its in-house talent management agency in an effort to develop the skills and expand the opportunities of its premier DJ talents. Curve Entertainment is made up of some of the most respected names in Philippine music, record and concert industries.
