pinoy rock , or filipino rock , is the brand of rock music produced in the philippines or by filipinos .

it has become as diverse as the rock music genre itself , and bands adopting this style are now further classified under more specific genres or combinations of genres like alternative rock , post-grunge , ethnic , new wave , pop rock , punk rock , funk , reggae , heavy metal , ska , and recently , indie .

because these genres are generally considered to fall under the broad rock music category , pinoy rock may be more specifically defined as rock music with filipino cultural sensibilities .

it is very easy to identify a pinoy rock song because the lyrics are often in filipino , tagalog , or any other language native to the philippines .

alternative rock ( also called alternative music [ 1 ] or simply alternative ) is a branch of the rock music genre that became widely popular in the 1990s . it was a term that was liberally used to describe the bands involved in the early 1990s phenomenon of independently recorded music gaining profound commercial success . as a specific genre of music , alternative rock does not refer to one specific style of music , and numerous , diverse sub - genres fall under the umbrella of the " alternative " title . from various music scene locales , collectively known as the alternative music scene , genres such as grunge , indie rock , britpop , gothic rock , indie pop , and many others have developed . these genres are unified by their collective debt to punk ; in the 1970s , punk ' s style and / or ethos laid the groundwork for alternative music . [ 2 ] independent record labels were established during the punk era , which created an alternative outlet for musicians who did not coincide with major label agendas .

one of the first popular filipino rock stars was bobby gonzales , whose major hit was " hahabul - habol . " eddie mesa , another teen idol from the period , became known as the " elvis presley of the philippines . " back then , many filipinos referred to rock bands as " combos , " many of which used nontraditional instruments like floor - bass bongos , maracas , and gas tanks .

although the ' 90s were more inclined to be about pop rock bands mentioned above , many filipino rock fans were ardent supporters of the more creative and independent filipino underground community . diverse not by name alone , these underground musicians were not easily attracted tomainstream pop sensibilities and grew their own market without the support of corrupt major labels that some critics and artists viewed as responsible for damaging most filipino music careers .

alternative ' s mainstream prominence declined due to a number of events , notably the death of nirvana ' s kurt cobain in 1994 and pearl jam ' s lawsuit against concert venue promoter ticketmaster which in effect barred them from playing many major venues around the country . [ 25 ] a signifier of alternative rock ' s declining popularity was the hiatus of the lollapalooza festival after an unsuccessful attempt to find a headliner in 1998 ; the hiatus would continue until 2003 . by the start of the twenty - first century , many major alternative bands , including nirvana , the smashing pumpkins , soundgarden , alice in chains , rage against the machine , and hole had broken up or were on hiatus . meanwhile , indie rock diversified . along with the more conventional indie rock sounds of modest mouse , bright eyes , and death cab for cutie , various strains of indie rock , such as the garage rock revival of the white stripes and the strokes as well as the neo post - punk sounds of interpol and the killers , achieved mainstream success .

longer hair and relaxed clothing went with a more casual lifestyle . this pic is of an english rock band , the kinks . their hits included “you really got me” and “all day and all of the night”

and for the punk rock scene , there is a market for their music and releases in vinyl or cd or cassette abroad . indie distros sells records from outfits from all over southeast asia , north america , and europe . in fact , you can buy a lot of them over here . many of the shops that sell pinoy and foreign punk are located in manila from the streets of recto to unobtrusively located shops in san antonio village in makati . most though hawk their wares online with facebook pages serving as their web pages .

the most popular pinoy rock band in the philippines in the ' 80s was arguably the dawn , whose early songs were largely influenced by new wave and post - punk , the dominant alternative music genres in the philippines during that period . the dawn came to prominence in 1986 , when its independently released single " enveloped ideas " became an instant favorite among listeners of dwxb - fm 102 . 7 , a now - defunct fm radio station popular in the mid - ' 80s that heavily played new wave , post - punk , and similar genres .

little monsters , the band ' s first major - label album , was released in 2001 and contained songs from revenge plus new compositions by nicolas and jugueta . the song " antipara " was probably the most well - known song on the album . the release of the album was somewhat ill - timed as its glossy pop - rock sound was an aberration in the korn - influenced opm rock landscape of the late 1990s to early 2000s .

while " alternative " was simply an umbrella term for a diverse collection of underground rock bands , nirvana and similar groups gave it a reputation for being a distinct style of guitar - based rock that combined elements of punk and metal . many alternative artists rejected success , for it conflicted with the rebellious , diy ( do it yourself ) punk ethic and their ideas of artistic authenticity that the genre had espoused prior to mainstream exposure .

radio station la 105 . 9 advocated filipino rock music , playing original amateur ( even if poorly recorded ) singles and gave new avenues for emerging bands outside organized underground concerts . rock n ' rhythm , a local music magazine also supported this scene with news and updates , band interviews , album and concert reviews , carrying on the torch that the defunct jingle chordbook and moptop ( popular philippine rock music magazines during the ' 70s and ' 80s , respectively ) have entrailed . the band explosion opened avenues for non - traditional artists as well , like intermidya , for example . their musical instruments looked like materials from a junk shop glued together and which had names like sandata # 1 , sandata # 2 , baby sandata , etc .

eraserheads is a filipino rock band formed in 1989 . consisting of ely buendia , marcus adoro , buddy zabala and raimund marasigan , the band became one of the most successful , most influential , critically acclaimed , and significant bands in the philippine music history .

known for their funny and crazy act , kamikazee is no doubt one of the popular filipino rock bands in the philippines . although , this year is their last year performing , the songs and great memories will never be forgotten ! just like this song :

" alternative rock " is essentially an umbrella term for underground music that has emerged in the wake of the punk rock movement since the mid - 1980s . [ 4 ] " alternative " as a defining musical term had originated sometime around the mid - 1980s [ 5 ] and was an extension of the phrases " new music " and " post modern . " [ 6 ] it does not refer to any particular musical style , but connotes an underground status on an independent record label and not in the mainstream .

the commercial success of eraserheads paved the way for more pinoy rock acts ( rivermaya , rizal underground , the youth ) getting record deals . some brave all - female bands got signed ( kelt ' s cross , tribal fish , agaw agimat ) and a few solo artists as well ( maegan aguilar , bayang barrios , dj alvaro ) . rappers crossed over with great success ( francis m with hardware syndrome and erectus ) , despite some earlier controversy with hiphop - bashing allegedly incited by some artists . these bands adopted a variety of influences both in image and music ; many fell under a particular genre ; however , the crossing over of styles was most often inevitable .

first of all , fearless triggering their unique blend of rock without knowing that it will be the lightning to the stage . . . their songz are original and catches your melting point even underground and metalz appreciated one of their songz . . and that ' s the fact !

typecast will always be known with their heartbreaking and " super feels " hits . they proved with how your influence betrays you and their recent ep , word sits heavy that they are getting better at what they are doing and that is to rock out hard and influence many musicians .

although the ' 90s were more inclined to be about pop rock bands mentioned above , many filipino rock fans were ardent supporters of the more creative and independent filipino underground community . diverse not by name alone , these underground musicians were not easily attracted to mainstream pop sensibilities and grew their own market without the support of corrupt major labels that some critics and artists viewed as responsible for damaging most filipino music careers . one of the best underground band back then was the circle ' s end of u . p diliman with their main song writer and vocalist geno georsua .

hopefully this list was helpful in making your decision . but , if you ' ve skimmed through the list and are still unsure , remember , rock ' n ' roll is a diverse genre with many more styles and songs to choose from . i hope your karaoke performance goes well !

every person have their own likes when it comes to music . some want classic songs , rock musics , heavy metals , hip hop musics , and etc , some prefer country songs , ballads , love songs , and pop music . people choose for their favorite songs and / or bands that somehow at some point they can relate in the message brought by their favorite music . and sometimes , it also shows personality ; it expresses emotions , life experiences , and things that is really true in this world . i prefer siakol as my favorite opm band . " siakol " is pertaining to be free , happy and sometimes a naughty state of mind . what makes siakol be my favorite pinoy rock band is that all there songs is originally composed and written by their vocalist mr . manuel " noel " rivera palomo . and another is , all there composed master piece are very fascinating , it makes you realize that it is really true and somehow open your eyes or senses and makes you smile . god bless siakol . . .

do you love original pilipino music , otherwise known as opm ? if so , you ' re at the right place . this is the best opm , or original pilipino music artists list , including artists such as the eraserheads and aegis as well as sarah geronimo and yeng constantino . opm may also be read as original pinoy music or original philippine music , but they all refer to the same thing , and that is filipino pop songs and ballads .

introvoys and after image were among the prominent bands in the early 1990s ; but their popularity were later overshadowed by younger bands that eventually emerged . radio station la 105 . 9 had advocated filipino rock music , encouraging original amateur ( even if poorly recorded ) singles and gave new avenues for emerging bands .

in the case of grunge and alternative rock , the ' 90s were defined by bands like alice in chains , smashing pumpkins , and nirvana . these bands represent a departure from the rock of the ' 60s and ' 70s . the protest songs were aggressive and unhinged , the tempos were less danceable , and the cynical outlook ran counter to ' 80s optimism ( punk and thrash metal aside ) . similarly , the creation of g - funk and gangsta rap took a more aggressive approach to political and social discourse . that being said , there were still plenty of love - struck pop songs out there .

personally , eraserheads will always be and remain the filipinos most sought alternative rock band of all time ! most of their songs went number one and gained constant airplay , everywhere . one of the many achievements they got was to win the viewer’s choice award for asia from the 1997 mtv video music awards .

emeralds band : formed in okinawa in 1972 with manolo arellano on the lead guitar , larry on keys , tony mendoza on bass , eddie mendoza on vocals & nestor malapitan on drums . the group played in various clubs in okinawa and in mainland japan . hard rock was the main forte of the group .

most notably , the album went on to become album of the year at the 2006 nu rock awards , with nicolas winning drummer of the year and the group winning producer of the year jointly with marasigan and zabala . also in 2006 , itchyworms covered a song awit ng barkada originally by the apo hiking society .

a five piece rock band born on april of 2003 comprised of kat - vox , kurt - bass , gerard - guitars , monx - guitars , and paulo - drums . in early 2005 , the band released its debut self - titled album . upon the release saydie has developed a huge following . their own . rock n ' roll enthusiasts all around the philippines : from heavy metal kids to punk rock kids to emo kids to doll freaks and blood sucking vamps , are all brought together by their music . their music is a monochrome of sound and art that fail the criteria of mediocrity since their music remains nonpareil . " we ' ve chosen not to button down this art that we make and share to others simply because what ever it is that you hear is what you get . for saydie ? music is an outlet of reality and the different delusions and emotions of life , therefore it should be free and abstract . "

the amazing thing was the strings we used then , as the rookies band which i was a member , we have settled with our mandorias string . in fact music stores then only sell either mandorias or other local pinoy string instruments we had . and the early years once would noticed that the strings get rusted easily . in our case , we were the only group in the philippines that started using a thumb pick because our lead guitarist was already playing chet atkins - style .

aunt irma : genaro ( gin ) goñi , renato ( nato ) cornejo and jaime ( jim ) sarthou . other members included on guitar " sonny " peckson ( later to become " little rock " of dzrj ) , uly avante on drums , sam sen on bass and nitto palacios who later managed advent call .

heavy traffic : + jun atad ( frontman & ex - member of famous rock band 70s horoscope band ) , tutay maranan ( lead guitarist ) , steve maranan ( bass ) , gerry rejuso ( keyboards , ex - member of horoscope ) , amee maranan ( drums ) and nestor ( 2nd lead guitarist & vocal ) .

wphy - cd , virtual channel 25 , is a digital class a television station serving mercer county , new jersey , portions of hunterdon , burlington , middlesex , and somerset counties in new jersey . the station broadcasts news as well as local events and specials specifically for residents in the greater mercer county area . the station affiliates with youtoo tv , which provides a variety of programming during the days and weekends . it is the only independent television station to exclusively serve the residents of central new jersey ; however , its transmitter is located in the chestnut hill section of philadelphia ( trenton is part of the philadelphia television market ) .

wphy - cd is owned by nrj tv of coppell , texas since june 15 , 2012 , which also owns wtve in reading , pennsylvania in the philadelphia television market .

the station first broadcast in 1993 on analog channel 25 , and was originally assigned the call sign w25aw , though for much of its history it branded as " wzbn tv - 25 . " the station ' s tower was located in hamilton township , mercer county , new jersey . the station became w50dz - d in january 2012 after converting to digital broadcasting on channel 50 ; however , through the use of psip , digital television receivers display the station ' s virtual channel 25 .

the station has received several awards from the community broadcasters association for local service and programming .

with the creation of a statewide and regional cable news service owned by the cable companies , cable outlets threatened to pull wzbn off their systems in the late 1990s . protests by viewers ensured the station remained on cable . wzbn has since expanded its reach with additional broadcasts on three competing cable systems ( verizon fios , cablevision , comcast ) in the area .

" mercer ' s wzbn - tv agrees to sell for $ 3 . 5 million "

. federal communications commission . accepted 2 february 2012 ; granted 23 april 2012 ; consummation 15 june 2012 .

channel 48 was once the home of burlington , new jersey - licensed wkbs - tv , which operated from september 1965 until august 1983 , when owner field communications voluntarily took the station off - the - air and returned its license to the federal communications commission ( fcc ) . six months later , the fcc put channel 48 ' s frequency back up for auction . among those bidding on the open channel were dorothy brunson , an african - american radio executive and station owner from baltimore ; sinclair broadcast group , another baltimore - based firm ; and cornerstone television , a christian television network based in pittsburgh . after a two - year process , the auction ended with brunson winning a construction permit in february 1986 . during the interim , cornerstone purchased channel 48 ' s transmitter , moved it to altoona , and used it to sign on a new station in 1985 on channel 47 , ironically enough under the wkbs - tv call letters .

a wgtw - tv logo , circa 2003 ( taken from the station ' s now - defunct website ) .

channel 48 signed back on the air on august 15 , 1992 , under the call letters wgtw - tv , an independent station . initially the station ran public domain movies , infomercials ( including religious programs ) , and home - shopping programs . by 1994 , wgtw had a larger variety of programming , including off - network series , first - run syndicated shows , and children ' s programs . the station also aired nbc daytime programs that were pre - empted by then - affiliate kyw - tv ( channel 3 ) .

by 2001 , however , wgtw found its programming choices significantly reduced . all six network stations in the market were now owned - and - operated stations of their respective networks , and hence no longer pre - empted network programming . in addition to the rise of upn and the wb locally on wpsg and wphl - tv , the non - talk and court show programming on the syndication market significantly dwindled . there simply wasn ' t enough programming to go around , even for a market as large as philadelphia . it was also hamstrung by financial issues , resulting in the station filling most of its broadcast day with paid programming to maintain operations .

in 2004 , tbn was looking to acquire stations in major markets as part of a larger strategy of purchasing full - power stations to acquire compulsory must - carry carriage on that market ' s cable systems . tbn offered to purchase wgtw from brunson , an offer that was accepted . on october 1 , 2004 , the sale was closed and tbn took over all operations of the station . since then , wgtw has mostly been a simulcast of the tbn national feed . however , it airs two hours of weekly locally - originated programming . it also produces a public affairs show called joy in our town and a local version of praise the lord , tbn ' s flagship show . the latter two programs are recorded at wgtw ' s studio facilities in folcroft , north of philadelphia international airport across darby creek .

in 2002 , wgtw launched an hour - long news and public affairs show , known as 48 update , which aired weeknights at 7 : 00 p . m . the final edition of 48 update aired on october 1 , 2004 , one hour before the station switched to tbn programming .

wgtw operates under the same allocation , or place on the tv broadcast spectrum , as wkbs - tv , but not under the same license . although brunson did purchase the same license that wkbs - tv vacated from the fcc , wkbs ' license expired on june 1 , 1984 , and was never renewed . the current channel 48 license is a new construction permit for wgtw , dating from july 14 , 1988 . [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

this station ' s digital signal , like most other full - service tbn owned - and - operated stations , carries five different tbn - run networks .

tbn - owned full - power stations permanently ceased analog transmissions on april 16 , 2009 .

trinity broadcasting entered wgtw - tv’s broadcast frequency into the fcc ' s spectrum auction , the results of which were released in april 2017 . tbn received $ 80 , 807 , 689 for wgtw - tv ' s spectrum [ 4 ] and as a result , the station relinquished its rf channel 27 frequency and move to channel 36 , where it will enter a channel - sharing arrangement with wmgm - tv , licensed to wildwood , new jersey . [ 5 ] tbn additionally requested to have wgtw ' s community of license moved from burlington to millville , new jersey , as wmgm - tv ' s transmitter location near avalon , new jersey would leave wgtw unable to service burlington with a significantly viewable over - the - air signal . the move of wgtw ' s transmitter to avalon from its original location in roxborough significantly reduced the station ' s signal in philadelphia and most of the delaware valley viewing area . the fcc approved the license move from burlington to millville on september 26 , 2017 .

[ 1 ]

most of modern day roxborough was once part of roxborough township , which was incorporated into the city of philadelphia following the passage of the act of consolidation , 1854 . at this time roxborough was the home of the area ' s wealthiest ; the owners of the manayunk mills . these mills didn ' t just produce anything from textiles to plastic containers , they also produced exuberant fortunes for the mill owners , much of which was funneled back into the community . this money went into building schools , parks , and even a large victorian manor built for the area ' s elderly women , the roxborough home for women .

the commercial spine of the neighborhood is ridge avenue , which runs along the ridge between the wissahickon creek and the schuylkill river . most businesses are located on ridge avenue and most residents are within walking distance to it .

roxborough is well - connected to center city philadelphia with multiple bus routes and bike lanes reaching the river and downtown area of philadelphia . septa ' s manayunk / norristown regional rail line stops in the wissahickon section of roxborough , continues through manayunk , and stops again at the ivy ridge station in roxborough .

philadelphia university and st . joseph ' s university are nearby . its tree - lined streets and front lawns make it a " greener " part of philadelphia , similar to a suburb .

henry avenue runs parallel to ridge avenue from the border of east falls and north philadelphia , to andorra where it merges into ridge avenue . constructed in the 1930s , it was extended in 1959 from roxborough avenue to andorra , and includes several concrete arch bridges . one of these bridges , the wissahickon memorial bridge which crosses over the wissahickon creek and lincoln drive , includes a pair of box tunnels under the roadway designed to carry an never built extension of the broad street subway into roxborough .

because of the wissahickon creek and the park which protects much of its watershed , roxborough and manayunk are physically separated from the rest of the city . much of lower roxborough , consisting of " row homes " and homes dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries , has a historic , urban character .

roxborough abuts the wissahickon valley park portion of the fairmount park system . the park ' s numerous trails are used by cyclists , runners , walkers , dog owners and mountain bikers . another important park is gorgas park , located on ridge avenue . the park is one of the many landmarks in roxborough to have the namesake of the financially generous , affluent gorgas family . the park has gone through significant renovations over the past two decades . renovations which have turned the once dilapidated , unkempt , and overgrown gorgas park into the manicured neighborhood center it is today .

the north - west section of roxborough is often considered a separate neighborhood called upper roxborough . much of the development in this area occurred after 1950 , and has a suburban character : larger front lawns , garages , and shopping centers . local news sources have been known to incorrectly refer to roxborough as a suburb of philadelphia .

since the 1950s , most of philadelphia ' s major television and fm radio stations have located their transmission towers in roxborough because of its hilly terrain and high elevation . public television station " mind " , once called " wybe " , is also located in upper roxborough , close to neighboring andorra .

the upper roxborough historic district and william levering school are listed on the national register of historic places . [ 2 ]

the area of roxborough was likely named for roxburghshire , scotland , the original home of andrew robeson , one of the very first settlers of the area .

in 1676 , andrew robeson , his wife elizabeth , and his nephew andrew jr . came to america from scotland where andrew sr . became surveyor general for 300 , 000 acres of land in southern new jersey where he presided as judge in gloucester county . in 1690 , andrew sr . moved to philadelphia and purchased an estate located in the area that is known today as roxborough , roughly where the on and off ramps for city line avenue and lincoln drive are .

andrew sr . became chief of justice in pennsylvania until he died in 1694 . he was responsible for making roxborough a township in 1690 .

the robeson family is known to have originally come from kelso , roxburghshire , scotland . roxburgh ( pronounced rocs - burr - ah ) was a small region in the southeast of scotland until it was changed to the region of " the borders " in 1975 ; the town of kelso still remains as a historic scottish village though .

in 1706 , a german philosopher named johannes kelpius who lived in the woods not far from the robesons wrote about " foxes burrowing in rocks " in the area . a correlation between the phonetic spelling " rocksburrow " that many resident germans applied to the township , and kelpius ' s " where foxes burrow " letter of 1706 , convinced many that the township ' s origins related to foxes .

kelpius popularized his spelling of the township , but not long afterward , the spelling was changed to its current form .

the township could have retained the names " manatawna " or " leverington " , as they were popular names the area was referred to as in the 1690s and early 1700s , but thanks to the popular writings of johannes kelpius , the name remained as roxborough . other spellings have also been noted in early writings as roxbury and roxboro .

school district of philadelphia operates public schools . its zoned schools include shawmont elementary , cook wissahickon , and roxborough high school .

the walter biddle saul high school of agricultural sciences , lankenau environmental magnet high school , is in upper roxborough . [ 3 ]

william levering school , founded in 1748 , closed its doors in june 2012 . [ 4 ] its building will hold a different school , amy northwest , a special admissions middle school ( 6 - 8 ) . [ 5 ] amy used to be located in the mount airy section of philadelphia , in a rented church building .

the area has been one of the main feeder regions for roman catholic and j . w . hallahan high schools .

free library of philadelphia operates the roxborough branch at 6245 ridge avenue at hermitage street . [ 6 ] the " roxborough - manayunk - wissahickon - east falls - andorra historical society " also has an archive room in the roxborough branch . it is maintained by one of the historical societies ' top members and one of the area ' s community leaders , sylvia myers .

wmgm - tv is the nbc - affiliated television station for south jersey that is licensed to wildwood . it broadcasts a high definition digital signal on uhf channel 36 from a transmitter along cr 601 in swainton east of the garden state parkway . the station can also be seen on comcast channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 791 . owned by access . 1 communications , wmgm has studios on new road ( u . s . 9 ) in linwood . syndicated programming on the channel includes : entertainment tonight , the insider , judge joe brown and judge judy .

officially , wmgm is considered a philadelphia market station . for other network programming besides nbc , channels from that city cover the area . this station ' s affiliation creates a rare situation where there are two affiliates of the same network in the same area ( with nbc o & o wcau being the other ) which means cable systems must carry both stations . wmgm is the only nbc affiliate based in the state although wnbc in new york city covers northern new jersey and wcau in philadelphia covers southern new jersey .

the station began broadcasting on january 25 , 1966 known as wcmc - tv ( meaning c ape m ay c ounty ) . it was owned by jersey cape broadcasting along with radio stations wcmc - am - fm . during the early years , even when nbc went to full - time color programming ( provided off kyw - tv ' s own feed ) , the station still broadcast local programming in black and white . wcmc - tv was sold to south jersey radio in 1981 and changed its call letters to waat and then the current wmgm - tv in 1984 to coincide with the co - owned fm radio station and in turn , established their own nbc affiliate feed . upon the death of owner howard green in 2002 , the stations were eventually sold to access . 1 communications . on may 3 , 2006 , wmgm - lp in pleasantville fell silent when a fire struck the building its transmitter was located in . the building also housed the transmitters for atlantic city ' s wmgm - fm as well as pleasantville ' s wond - am and wtku - fm .

while wmgm - fm began broadcasting from wpur - fm ' s auxiliary facilities atop the trump taj mahal casino , the am stations and wmgm - lp remained dark , leaving many atlantic city residents without clear analog reception of nbc programs . however , the on - air signals were eventually brought back . for several years , people on the new jersey side of the philadelphia market could watch the entire nbc schedule on this channel , as kyw - tv ( now a cbs o & o ) pre - empted many of nbc ' s daytime programs as well as other shows . however , wmgm is one of the few affiliates not to carry the sunday edition of today .

wmgm ' s digital over - the - air signal is viewable in the three - county area it serves . the signal does penetrate parts of southern ocean county , southern burlington county , eastern camden and gloucester counties and coastal delaware , even though the station has no cable carriage in these areas . on cable in southern new jersey , it serves cape may , atlantic , cumberland , and salem counties . in addition , wmgm is also on cable in vineland and turnersville which covers parts of eastern camden and gloucester counties such as winslow township and the williamstown / monroe township area . this is the only location where wmgm is carried out of its designated area . however , it is only viewable on comcast digital channel 247 . directv provides wmgm to philadelphia market area viewers on channel 40 . dish network had carried the station in the market until 2011 , when it was dropped for unknown reasons . as a result of the expanded carriage of its signal in the entire philadelphia dma , it is carried in mercer county alongside with the market ' s nbc affiliate from wcau instead of new york city ' s wnbc . that station is carried on cable for verizon fios , comcast , and cablevision subscribers in all of mercer county . wmgm ' s terrestrial signal under tropospheric - like dxing conditions can be picked up in that county but it is not offered on cable .

in coastal and some interior parts of sussex county , delaware , wmgm was carried during the 1970s and possibly the 1980s .

an entertainment program called curtain call with david spatz , winner of a 2007 emmy award for outstanding interview / discussion series , airs saturday nights at 6 , featuring interviews with world - class artists performing in atlantic city . there are three public affairs shows that air on the station : wmgm presents pinky ( saturday nights at 7 : 30 ) , forum 40 ( sunday mornings at 9 : 30 ) , and health today ( saturdays at 9 a . m . and 7 p . m . and sunday mornings at 11 ) . prior to 2011 , the station did not air local news weekday mornings ( offering religious programming from 5 to 6 a . m . and a simulcast of the don williams radio talk show from wond from 6 to 7 a . m . ) . however , on march 28 , 2011 , wmgm began airing today in south jersey , a one hour local morning newscast , which airs at 6 a . m . weekdays .
