History
1997-2014: Campus Radio
Campus Radio was established in General Santos in 1997. It bared its first slogan "Always and Forever". In 2001, the slogan was changed into "Kuyawa Ui!" (shocking), because of the series of bombings in Gensan last 2003 and the negative effects of the slogan to the station. The team decided to modified it into "Wow! Nindutah Ah!", which is also used in 103.5 Campus Radio Davao until today. From 2010 to 2012, its slogan was "The Best!", which was the slogan used by its flagship station back in the 80s. In 2012, it changed its slogan to "Ayos!", a Filipino expression which is basically a positive response.[3][4]
2014-present: Barangay FM
In 2014, Campus Radio was relauched as Barangay 102.3 as part RGMA's brand unification. A Hostage Taking took place in December 21, 2014, where a certain Gabby Batican entered the station to use the telephone to ask for help as someone allegedly threatened to kill him The radio station employees called the police after they grew suspicious of Batican is the cousin of one of the station's disc jockey (DJ Angel) Batican could have been under the influence of illegal drugs when he held the victims hostage The hostage drama lasted for more than an hour.[5][6]
