The Panama Broadcasting Corporation
( On the Radio productions / On the TV productions )
The Panama Broadcasting
Corporation,
was formed mid 2006 with the intent of bringing English language
broadcasting back to the Republic of Panama. We started purchasing
two hours of air time on Radio Metropolis 93.5 FM at the beginning
of Oct 2006. “Sunday Night at the Metropolis” was born two hours of
oldies, local news and interviews.
During 2007 the PBC constructed its own digital
studio enabling it to operate not just in broadcasting but also
taking on more production. The PBC has the capability of making
tailored programming for broadcasting as well as for commercial use.
The programming hours were extended effective October
of 2007 from 6:00pm through to 10:00pm on Sunday evenings. The news
coverage was extended bringing in as anchor Sandra Snyder and brand
new program was introduced for January of 2008 Person2Person whereby
we invite people to share their music and their stories with the
rest of us, a program which is already proving very popular. At the
end of May 2008 we restructured our programming reducing Sundays
with Radio Metropolis to two hours 6-8pm, the "Panama Weekly Review"
(at around this time Buzz Luttrell joined us as co-anchor with
Sandra) as well as and hour and a half of music from the 50's
through to the 90's presented by Gerry "D". We then incorporated
programming with Cool FM on 89.3 with "Cool Nights" Tuesdays and
Thursdays 8-10pm with a Smooth, Adult Contemporary format.
