Might as well start a thread on this. Did a quick Google search and it is the new name of the station - oddly, under an article on the since-postponed Katy Perry gig.
So, what we know: KC Montero, Jimmy Muna, Cesca Litton, Sarah Meier, and the Brewrats will be here, and it'll launch 6am tomorrow with the first three names I mentioned. (I just did Twitter snooping.)
For now, another link to another live-blog, which I'll work on the first twelve hours (or so) of the station, like what I did with 99.5 RT's return.
Edit:
From what I can read on the poster, it's:
Weekdays
6a-10a: KC Montero/Cesca Litton/Jimmy Muna
10a-2p: Eri Neeman
2p-5p: Joshua Yu (Joshua Z, formerly of RT)
5p-7p: Vicky Herrera and Sarah Meier
7p-10p: Brewrats (Mon-Thu)
Saturdays
2p-6p: Sib
6p-10p: Marc Abaya

Makes sense since some of the personalities are identified with MTV (Ramon Bautista, Sib Sibulo, KC Montero, Sarah Meier, Cesca Litton, Marc Abaya). Since it has been mentioned in another thread that Francis Lumen will be the one running the show, he may have made sure that he got the old hands in running the would-be show that is U92.
MTV on radio. That's what will keep my ears glued to.
Best of luck.

the morning show and the all request program are both boring. i'm looking forward to joshua's program later. i like the playlist though. they played the itchyworms and pupil (two of my favorite local bands) which i don't hear at RT.

Aye and aye. I am also waiting for Josh - the reason why I stopped live-blogging for a bit. (And watched Glee.)
As for it being "boring", methinks that somewhat the on-air personalities are still gravitating toward a less talk-more music kind of a CHR station, especially the U Know show with Eri...
As I observed on my blog, tunog minadali yung station - you can have a more-music proposition while still sounding exciting, ie imaging and presentation, and this one feels, well, a bit pfffft.
sneakerfreak: Ditto, can't stand the first 4 hours of the U's maiden broadcast (Morning Wood). Medyo rough start with the trio of the Morning WuD but considering that Jimmy Muna used to host a morning show back in Wave, I'm confident he, Chesca and KCcould carry the show very well
Eri's show is the Know Show (or is it U Know Show?). Segment evert Thursday noon ang Lunch Box
I can imagine the XFM studios being something a bit like Home Radio (equipment set-up and all that) so I've this impression that the DJ's on-board are getting help with members of the off-air staff with the controls, etc.

The BrewRATs! called the off-air staff "4th DJ", adjusting pa rin sila sa equipment -- they even called the location a "hospital with just four tubed fluorescent lights"
as expected, joshua showed class during the first day of broadcast for U92. i wonder, what were on the minds of the RT management that they let go of such an awesome radio talent? the morning show has potential but it lacked direction. para silang nagsasapawan. the all request program (10-am-2-pm) was boring. i think they need to find a partner for that guy who came from wave. l like the doll house. sarah meier and the other girl were super. love 'em! kaya lang bitin yun show. 2 hours??? c'mon! i hope the management fixes the schedule. sana 3 hour shifts na lang lahat.
yeah the dollhouse is the dopeness. kakabitin nga yung 2hrs. sana 5-8pm na lang sila.
that way magiging 8pm-11pm ang brewrats, closer to their old schedule which they can probably use to get back to their old self. woot woot.

Couldn't agree you more. Joshua gave the other DJ's a run for their money.
On RT, I guess that for the years that he has lend his services to 99.5 RT since the 90's maybe it's high time for him to move on to other things. That way naman he could grow outside his comfort zone.
Edit: BTW, I just realized that the U92 VO is the guy from Nickelodeon Philippines (sister channel of MTV). The station still airs some old ads it inherited from XFM, it'll only be a matter of time before they all phase out and replaced with new ones (i.e. Dionne Warwick concert ad, "Writer's Spotlight"). Magse-stay-on pa ba kaya iyung existing sponsors nila from their XFM days i.e. Pochi, Filinivest and GSIS?
Do you guys know who's the VO for XFM? Just noticed his voice sounds similar other than he had lend his vocal chords to an XFM TV commercial/ SIbak na rin kaya siya?
Maybe because of it being an MTV-influenced station, may pagka-Campus siya in a way playing recent hits from at least a year ago. Sana may nostalgia/oldies program rin sila in the coming months.
