Wish 107.5’s official channel on the popular video-streaming site has a nearly 1.5 million- strong following as of September 2017. It is home to hundreds of “WISHclusive” videos that put different brands of artistry on spotlight.

Global reach

 

As social media has broken geographic barriers, it has allowed Wish 107.5 to reach music lovers from different parts of the globe. The station’s YouTube community comprises netizens from the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Singapore, Australia, United Kingdom, France and Brazil.

 

The “WISHclusives” have also gathered the attention of YouTube video reactors who laud the innovative concept behind the YouTube series.

 

An impromptu crowd gathers outside the Wish 107.5 Bus to watch the WISHclusive performance of 90s pop group, The Moffatts.

 

“There are three reasons why I love Wish 107.5. Number one — the unbelievable talent that we get to see across the channel. Number two — the exceptional sound quality that we get to feel right into our heart and soul. And number three – [because] it’s an incredible platform for artists to showcase their talent across the world,” Dan Evans, director of Expressive Arts Productions, a UK-based video production company, and owner of the YouTube account @eapfilms, shared.

 

This group of YouTube content creators also acknowledged the station for introducing them the musicality of Filipino singers.

 

“I truly love and enjoy what you guys do. I may live here in California, however it’s through Wish FM that I get to enjoy the sound of the Philippines,” netizen @ JSmooove said.

 

The people behind the Canada-based channel Music Game News echoed the same sentiment.

 

“What’s great about the Wish 107.5 YouTube Channel is that foreigners like us who aren’t in the Philippines get to benefit from these live amazing performances. You Filipinos should be proud of them. [Wish has given] the opportunity for Filipino artists to be broadcasted worldwide. It’s a great platform for emerging artists, it’s a great platform for established artists, and it really is a portal to the world.”

 

 

Earlier in April, Wish 107.5 has also earned a recognition from the Trinity University of Asia for its “innovative FM radio broadcasting.”

 

The station is also poised to receive another accolade – the “Most Innovative and Outstanding Radio Broadcasting Production” from the 2017 Best Choice Awards.
