PM2FGR (106.6 FM), on-air name 106.6 Celebrities Radio, is a radio station in Jakarta, Indonesia. Celebrities Radio focused on 90s music, although 2000s and 2010s songs are also played in weekdays. MNC Networks owns this station.[1]
History
This radio started with DMC Radio branding until mid 1990s. Later, this radio rebranded as S Radio, focusing at celebrity news and infotainment format like 101.1 Showbiz Tsismis in Manila at that time.[2] S Radio's music was similar with Prambors and CHR stations at the time. S Radio was mentioned in Jakarta Undercover 2 book, popular book that revealed Jakarta's nightlife at that time.[3]
Later in 1996, Muara Radio acquired this frequency with its dangdut music format. Muara Radio abandoned this format in 2001, rebranded into 106.6 M Radio (initial of Muara) with no dangdut music. In 2001, MNC Networks acquired the station to replace Women Radio (PM2FGF) that was leased to non-group owner.[4]
V Radio Era
At the first 6 years, V Radio focused on content for women, hence its tagline "The voice of inspiring woman". Some programs related to women and mothers were held, including talks and off-air activations.
In 2008, V Radio changed its tagline as Lagu Hitsnya Beda due to playlist focus to 80s and 90s song, also started targeting men in its programming. V Radio was the first to reborn slow adult contemporary radio in Jakarta, after Delta FM's re-branding, followed by Kis FM. Unlike its rival Most Radio which played 80s, 90s with some rock, metal and Camajaya with some rock and roll, country, oldies, 00s and 60s-70s, V Radio focused on slow and relaxing music, also plays 2000s and 2010s music on the weekdays.
Facilities
V Radio's office is in MNC Tower, Jl.Kebon Sirih No.17-19, Menteng, Central Jakarta. Its transmitter is possibly in Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta, sharing the same site with RCTI transmitter.
