Zamboanguita, Negros Oriental - Radyo Kaigsoonan 98.5 MHz FM is the first Nutriskwela Community Radio Station to upgrade its transmitter to 1000 watts among the Nutriskwela Community Radio Stations Network nationwide.
Thanks to the effort and active advocacy of Station Manager Reynaldo Banua, the Community Radio Council and Mayor Kit Mark Adanza, Radyo Kaigsoonan was able to acquire 1000 watts transmitter from Congresswomen Jocelyn Lim Kai Chiong of the 1st District of Negros Oriental.
Full operation of the transmitter is held in abeyance pending the approval of the National Telecommunications Commission.
The Nutriskwela Community Radio Stations Network Project, a brainchild of Assistant Secretary of Health and NNC Executive Director IV, is one of the projects of NNC to promote good nutrition. The project aims to empower the community through the dissemination of correct, current and relevant information on nutrition and health, as well as educational and developmental information from all relevant sectors of the community, government, and non-government organizations.
NNC is also set to release capital outlay for the procurement of additional radio equipment to Radyo Kaigsoonan and other Nuitriskwela Community Stations nationwide.
With increased transmitter power and new broadcast equipment, Radyo Kaigsoonan expands its reach to more municipalities in Negros Oriental, neighboring provinces of Siquijor and southern part of Cebu. // DFB
