SAVED Media (formerlySAVED Radio) is a non-commercialContemporary Christian digital media service in thePhilippines. It was founded by Becca Music Inc., a non-profit events production company founded by Rebecca Sy, which produces various concerts dedicated toChristian music.[1], before it transferred its ownership toFEBC Philippines in 2022. As of October 2024, it is now owned by Christ's Heritage Church.
Saved Radio first aired on February 6, 2011, via UBSI's Energy FM as a Sunday evening program titledSaved on Energy FM (with its then-flagshipDWKY 91.5 FM carrying the program between 8pm to 12mn).[2] 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 asSAVED 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'sFacebook page, Becca Music announced that Saved Radio would temporarily leave the FM radio band after December 31.[3] 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 2022, SAVED MEDIA Incorporated was formed byFEBC Philippines 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.
In June 2024, FEBC has been decided to transitioned SAVED Media (effectively ended its online radio broadcast) into a digital media outlet primarily onpodcast content. On October 20, 2024, Christ's Heritage Church, a Quezon City-based Baptist church congregation, took over the ownership of the said outlet.
Saved Radio features interviews and live sessions with Christian artists who hold concerts in the Philippines. Guests have includedKristian Stanfill,[4]David Crowder,[5]Hillsong United,[6]Hillsong Worship,[7] Mayumi Gomez (former lead singer ofImago),[8]Rivers & Robots,[9] andPat Barrett.[10] They also discuss Christian topics.[11]
