HISTORY[edit]
89.5 WIM, The Rhythm of the City (1991–1994)
89.5 WIM had its early beginnings way back in August 1991, when Baguio was still recovering from the ruins of the July 1990 killer quake. Bombo Radyo Philippines decided to widen its broadcast horizon in Baguio by putting up an FM Station to “set the pace” and at the same time, to augment the present status then being enjoyed by its AM counterpart in the city of Baguio. Test broadcasts began on August 21, 1991. The station started off as 89.5 WIM, the Rhythm of the City. Shortly after, in a matter of half a year, the Radio Research Council, through its deputized survey agencies conducted the official radio listenership survey in Baguio. In less than one year of opeation, 89.5 WIM, The Rhythm of the City bagged the number one crown, leaving behind its competitors by a unanimous landslide.
STAR FM (1994–present)
On April 22, 1994, all FM stations of Bombo Radyo Philippines were re-launched as STAR FM stations, save those that only began operations on or after this date. The move to re-name all FM stations as STAR FM was in a bid to provide a more “solid” identity for all FM stations of Bombo Radyo Philippines, since the FM stations were so closely associated with, if not mistaken for their AM counterparts.
89.5 Star FM is heard primarily in Baguio City and Benguet, with spill-overs from up to as far as Tarlac, Pangasinan and La Union.
Broadcast operations are backed up by a powerful 5-kilowatt transmitter, with an Orban Optimod 8400 Audio Processor, state-of-the-art equipment and the cream of the crop manpower all work to keep the station on top in the rating game. There are four (4) major departments all working together on a complementary basis: the Administrative, Production, Technical/Engineering and News Departments.
