Radyo SIAM is a Philippine radio network in the Visayas and Mindanao region owned by Sarraga Integrated and Management Corporation (SIAM). Its main headquarters are located in Brgy. Capitol Site, Cebu City, with repeaters located in Bogo and Guihulngan.
History
Bantay Radyo was established in 1991 by Cagayan de Oro–based Sarraga Integrated and Management Corporation, with the leadership of then-provincial Board Member Gigi Sanchez. In 2002, PAFI Techno Resources Corporation took over the network’s management. This lasted until mid-2015, when PAFI’s contract with SIAM expired.[1]
In 2006, Bantay Radyo expanded to Mindanao with DXIP in Davao, owned by the Southern Broadcasting Network. In 2009, it went off the air for unknown reasons.
On August 1, 2015, Bantay Radyo stations temporarily went off the air due to management issues. Representatives from SIAM confiscated their transmitter equipment. SIAM decided to let CFI Community Cooperative take over the operations of Bantay Radyo once PAFI’s contract expired.[2][3]
In 2024, Bantay Radyo went back on air with the help of Power Radio 97.9 based in Villanueva, Misamis Oriental.[4]
In April 2026, Bantay Radyo rebranded as Radyo SIAM.
