History and background

Bantay Radyo is a network of AM radio stations each with a power of 10,000 kilowatts and strategically located in Cebu and in Negros Oriental. The network is owned by CDO-based Sarraga Integrated and Management Corporation, with the leadership of provincial Board Member Gigi Sanchez of the province of Cebu, as Chief Executive Officer. It was managed by PAFI Techno Resources Corporation from 2002 until mid-2015, when PAFI's contract with SIAM expired.[1]

Demise

In 2009, Bantay Radyo Davao went off the air for unknown reasons.

On August 1, 2015, Bantay Radyo stations temporarily went off the air due to management issues. Representatives from SIAM confiscated their transmitter equipment. SIAM decided to let CFI Community Cooperative take over the operations of Bantay Radyo once PAFI's contract expired.[2][3]
