Radio Got Higher: Remembering Radio High

Radio High 105.9 (Hi-Definition Radio)

Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of Radio High 105.9. Two weeks after Dream FM went off the air and was taken over by Energy FM, Crossover has found itself a new competitor and it happened to be beside each other. Coincidence? I think not.

HIGH FROM THE UNDERGROUND

At the beginning of July 2011, Francis Lumen, through his company Hi-Definition Radio, took over 105.9’s operations. The frequency was formerly leased to RJFM’s UR 105.9, which migrated its operations online as UR Faceradio after letting go of its lease a month prior.

On July 14, the station was launched as Radio High 105.9 with a smooth jazz format. Lumen was the former owner of Citylite and Joey and the station’s voiceover is from the latter. The station stayed true to its slogan “Not For Everyone” since it catered to the upscale audience.
