Slogan
Radio Boracay has had many slogans in its near-two years of operation. "Life's a beach" was coined when it first hit the airwaves back in 2006, with it being a "beach radio" station in Boracay Island. Several months on, reggae took precedence in its programming and it came to be known as "the Home of Reggae and Cool Beach Music".Currently, based on its music/programming format, Radio Boracay interchangeably uses two (2) slogans: "The Home of Reggae and Cool Beach Music" and "Cool Ur Soul".
Interestingly, its jocks even use their own: Robert Boom coined his, "Boracay's Only One," and Skywalker's is "the Coolest Music Station this side of Paradise."
This was later changed its slogan to "Boracay's Best Mix".
