SAVED Radio is a non-commercial Contemporary Christian radio service in the Philippines. It is owned by Becca Music Inc., a non-profit events production company founded by Rebecca Sy, which produces various concerts dedicated to Christian music.[1]
Saved Radio first aired on February 6, 2011, via UBSI's Energy FM as a Sunday evening program titled Saved on Energy FM (with its then-flagship DWKY 91.5 FM carrying the program between 9pm to 12mn). When the show transferred to DWET, it expanded into a four-hour radio show, then to six hours a few months after. By 2014, Becca Music renamed the show as SAVED Radio on Energy FM, along with a new lineup of programs for each hour including a portion entitled "The Worship Hour".
In mid-2015, SAVED Radio expanded its airtime to 18 hours on Sundays and introduced new programs with radio jocks hired separately from the Energy FM roster. SAVED Radio became full-time a few weeks later, when it occupied the remaining Sunday airtime of Energy FM's programming. However, it continues to operate as a block time show on Energy FM and not as a separate broadcaster. Also, despite its expansion in Manila, SAVED Radio remained to be a late-night Sunday show on Energy FM's provincial stations.[1]
On December 24, 2017, through Saved Radio's Facebook page, Becca Music announced that Saved Radio would temporarily leave the FM radio band after December 31. An upcoming return to FM radio by 2018 was announced but did not occur. Becca Music continues a daily online streaming service on the Saved Radio website. By New Year's Day 2018, Saved Radio converted into an online radio service, while ENERGY FM reoccupied the network's Sunday lineup, the first after two years.
In November of 2022, SAVED MEDIA Incorporated was formed to take over the leadership of SAVED Radio from Becca Music, which officially closed its operations at the end of 2023. SAVED Radio continues its Streaming Audio service through the SAVED Radio Website and the SAVED Radio APP.
