Davao’s Catholic Radio Station: Channel of faith through tough times (Part 3)

RESTRUCTURING

Deteriorating equipment and facilities, stiff competition to new broadcasting technology (without the use of transmitter), the need to improve programming, marketing, personnel capability, effective community support, and the dissolution of BMTC Foundation Inc. by SEC prompted the Board of Trustees to shut down DXGN’s operation the third time in 2008. Nine (9) employees were paid what is due them (Ventura, 2008).

After Fr. Rey Roque’s management, Abp. Capalla led the changing of the foundation’s name to Davao Verbum Dei Media Foundation Inc. It was registered to Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on June 26, 2009. Similar to BTMC’s purposes, DVDMF aims to use communications and media which are powerful instruments of progress as the way to give the public access to information which are true and accurate.
