Star FM Tacloban

Beginnings: Nick, as what his colleagues fondly call
him, was just a fresh grad from UP Tacloban when
destiny worked its magic and made him finally consider
working in Star FM (Di kasi siya makahanap ng ibang
trabaho...hehehe). He took his chance and got himself
hired on September 2006.

It was Mr. Virn Villagracia, Acting Manager of Star FM
Tacloban, who found promising potentials from this lad
and painstakingly subjected him through a series of
trainings. It was a hard start but Nick was eager enough
to take on the challenge. He was so flexibe when it
came to handling all the programs assigned to him.
(Astig talaga ang batang to!)

A neophyte in the radio industry, Nick had his share of
mishaps-something he'll never forget in his lifetime. On
his first day of ?boardwork?, he unintentionally erased
all the entries in the program (Kaya nagkaAIR GAP for
at least 3 minutes...Toinks!). When he was still
assigned at Star FM Cebu, he unwittingly turned off the
powerplant on the DJ's Booth which resulted to a
5-minute air gap as they had to restart the computer all
over again. He got so engrossed on decorating the
booth with Xmas lights that he failed to notice the
powerplant. (Excited kasi masyado...hehehe)

Nick just keeps on learning his craft and each day
becomes a surprise for his avid listeners. This lad has a
passion for innovation and creativity-a rare trait that's
hard to find nowadays. Don't you know that he even had
this innate talent of playing with his vocal cords? This
makes it possible for him to create radio characters
whom he fondly call as "Lolo Nicanor" and "Inday Nica"
(the gay version).

Radio history: What started out as a desperate job
search, ended up with a chance to fame. He was
hesitant at first but had no other choice and so he tried
his luck. Fortunately, he got hired at 95.1 Star FM
Tacloban.

He became one of Star FM Tacloban's greatest assets
for his down-to-earth attitude and that sweet and smiling
voice that never failed to catch the Waraynons' hearts.
For a small period of time, he has established himself in
Region 8's airwaves creating a style of his own.

It was November 2006 that became his career's turning
point. Nick had the chance to train at 95.5 Star FM
Cebu due to an unfortunate event (Hehe...it turned out to
be a blessing in disguise after all.). They borrowed him
for more than four months. Dun siya nagkaroon ng
maraming chicks...charing!

He went back to Tacloban on March 2007. (Actually,
pinauwi siya dahil nalaman nila na maraming siyang
babae sa Cebu...joke lang!)

Now back with Star FM Tacloban, "Nick Kolot" does
most of his time in preparing playlists for the sweep
programs. He himself tabulates the hit songs for the
week. During weekends he spends time printing and
posting the intstuction for the succeeding week .
Despite all these, he never turned down entertaining with
his friends and visitors.

Claim to fame: Nick's secret? Well, it was his
irresistible sweet voice, his infamous expression:
?Halleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!?, the cute giggle and the
friendly and accomodating attitude that won him lots of
avid listeners (especially the ladies...hehe). Not to
mention that heart-warming kiss he never fails to let
loose everytime he makes his extro (nakakatacute
talaga kung magkiss tong batang to...toinks!).

His programs today include: Morning Starsweep at
6:00 - 9:00 in the morning, Afternoon Starsweep at 3:00
- 5:00 in the afternoon from Mondays to Saturdays and
Starrific Sunday Mix at 3:00 - 5:00 in the afternoon every
Sundays.

To spice up his programs, Nick incorporates trivias,
daily word definitions (he calls it ?The Word Of The
Day?--Your daily source of vocabulary vitamins.), and
hypothetical questions for the listeners to take part with.

Catch him daily and get ready to be mesmerized by the
?Kilabot ng mga Kolehiyala?.(^_^)
