Affiliation with Habbo ruled out
'CHiLL-REX!' (Worldwide): After receiving many enquiries via email on a similar web radio service provided by a social networking site - operated by Habbo, the Hub has decided to clarify the matter by ruling out the possibility that Habbo has any association with 'CHiLL-REX!' whatsoever.

Unverified sources claimed 'CHiLL-REX!' has tapped on Habbo to operate its web radio services as there was such a station named 'ChillRex'.
A 'CHiLL-REX!' spokesperson denied these allegations and recapitulated that the Hub is an independent station and will run its own radio operations and it need not be supported by any other service provider in radio terms.
When questioned about copyright trademark and infringement matters, 'CHiLL-REX!' said the alphabets on their logo is unique with 'i' always in the small letter form and that Habbo was merely creating/hosting a small talk show, naming it 'ChillRex' within their radio programming.
'CHiLL-REX!' said it will neither pursue the matter nor is keen on partnering with Habbo citing strategic differences.

'CHiLL-REX!' (Worldwide): The Board has recently conducted its month-review on all-time popular request show, 'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!' after its 'Computer Automated Systems' server or in short, 'CASYS' came crashing down which prompted for an instant temporary halt.
Reviews concluded that radio shows have managed to garner a fair bit of listeners and revealed that it has surpassed the club's targets with more listeners streaming in from abroad rather than in the home country that it is based, in Singapore.
Assistant Vice-President (Radio), Anita Boh, added, "Since our radio shows re-premiered on July 13, we have had a slight increase in listenership as compared to the same period last year, according to reports from the former VP for radio. I am contented that it has reached our targets and am certain we will go further and bring more radio shows back to complement our current listenership, fans and friends as well."
Moreover, more shows are slated to make a come-back which includes, 'KiDS!' - a dedicated children show hosted by DJ Kiddy, 'JAM 10@10!' - the countdown chart show and theme shows such as 'Retro!', 'iGNiTE!' and 'UnderGround!', amongst the others.
Currently, there are only two shows active on air which are 'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!' - the only request show and 'Next Generation!' - an album review show.
The Radio arm which has recently been troubled by its 'CASYS' server problem will be re-installing new add-ons to refurbish its standards and hopefully, there will be less issues in relation to its server technical faults.

'CHiLL-REX!' (Worldwide): The Radio arm has been troubled by this latest incident when it tabulated a report for its 'Computer Automated Systems' server, or 'CASYS', in short.

UK radio fan keen on considering franchising 'CHiLL-REX!'
'CHiLL-REX!' (London, UNITED KINGDOM): Seventeen year-old Dan Savage is from London, United Kingdom and is interested in considering setting up Singapore's 'CHiLL-REX!' over there.
Dan Savage is a fan of Singapore's online music club, 'CHiLL-REX!'. He has always been following radio shows such as former defunct 'NightOut! with Damian' and now, 'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!'.
President & Director-General, 'CHiLL-REX!', Damian Cheong, responded, "I am at a loss for words as this was totally unexpected. Personally, I know Dan Savage have always been following our shows and occasionally, he would chat with me via instant messaging but who would have imagined he would propose such an idea to me."
He added, "Stay tuned to find out! You never know what partnership can be derived from an avid fan in the UK and one day, who knows, Dan (Savage) could be the Chairman for the UK branch if we were to set up a base over in London. It is definitely going to be exciting!"
A spokesperson from the club also gave an update on the conglomeration progress and noted that one of the sub-factors contributing to the fact that CHiLL FM have to stand down was due to copyright issues it was facing with a radio station of a similar name based in the United Kingdom.
It seems that only time will tell if 'CHiLL-REX!' decides to venture out of the region. If successful, this will be the first time in the club's history to expand out of Asia and into Britain. Currently, 'CHiLL-REX!' is headquartered in Singapore and has one other club based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

CHiLL FM expresses gratitude towards Moblog's departure
'CHiLL-REX!' (SINGAPORE): CHiLL FM has bid goodbye to its alma mater, Moblog. Since CHiLL FM made its debut on the internet, Moblog has always been the number one internet source and portal for publicity.
This comes after Moblog announced plans to terminate its service from 22 July 2009. It is saddening news for CHiLL FM as the station will always remember the joyful times that Moblog has brought upon the crew members.
Five notable CHiLL FM crew members to recognise were the following:
- DJ Wilson (Wilson Lai, then Deputy CEO)
- DJ Deborah (Deborah Peters, then Programme Director)
- DJ Alfred (Alfred Tan, then Music Director)
- DJ Syaza (Syaza Lina, then Promotions Director)
- DJ Riduwan (Muhammed Riduwan, then News Director)
They were pioneers to CHiLL FM and without them, the club would not have come thus far.
As CHiLL FM stand down to make way for the conglomeration with its parent company, 'CHiLL-REX!', memories will always stay on in the hearts and minds of the crew members who once painstakingly dedicated their time and effort to build up the young and jubilant station as it is today.
The station is set to move on as it conglomerates with 'CHiLL-REX!' come 20 September 2009.

Malaysian crew member down with H1N1
'CHiLL-REX!' (Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA): A member has apparently fallen ill with the H1N1 flu virus.
The report was made by the Chairman, 'CHiLL-REX!' (Malaysia), Jack Yuen on Tuesday afternoon. The affected crew member was on a routine meeting with three other members from the club based in Kuala Lumpur. He had flu-like symptoms, a sore-throat and subsequently developed an on-set of fever. He was admitted to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang, Selangor, Malaysia via an ambulance.
The rest of the other three members, including Chairman Jack Yuen, has been ordered by President & Director-General, 'CHiLL-REX!', Damian Cheong to take Leave of Absence (LOA) for seven days. Damian Cheong also further commented that all existing operations in Malaysia will be suspended with immediate effect and will only resume on 15 July 2009.
Due to this breaking news, fans and friends of 'CHiLL-REX!' curiously scrambled to find out how 'CHiLL-REX!' (Malaysia) is progressing.
Chairman, 'CHiLL-REX!' (Malaysia), Jack Yuen, responded, "Thus far, we have began simple operations but not in advanced stage yet, as it is in Singapore. We are currently involved in smaller-scale projects and the focus over here at Kuala Lumpur is in event managing and not so much on radio show productions as events have always been our niche area."
"Crew wise, we so far have four strong members and we are still looking out for more. It is not easy because Malaysia is a big place and to congregate at our headquarters at Kuala Lumpur will be a hassle.", he added.
President & Director-General, 'CHiLL-REX!', Damian Cheong, had recently visited Jack Yuen and one other crew member in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia three weeks ago to discuss business operations matters.
This is also the first time 'CHiLL-REX!' (Malaysia) is reporting their progress to the public and Chairman Jack Yuen expressing his first speech is a commendable feature to note as well.
In Singapore, Vice-President (Music), 'CHiLL-REX!', Tan Ding Xiang assured listeners and fans that operations here will still flow as usual with the station re-premiering on the airwaves on 13 July 2009 at 10:10pm (GMT+08:00).
For now, the affected Malaysian crew member with the H1N1 flu virus is said to be recovering well at his home.

Vice-President (Event) of 'CHiLL-REX!', John Yeo, commented, "Since the beginning of the year, there were already blue-prints created to combine as a whole. Thus, the conglomeration is taking too long a time to officiate and the pace should be hasten lest fans and friends forget about us."

'CHiLL-REX!' to conglomerate as a result of a major corporatization
A slew of changes will be expected as part of this year's annual overhaul. Dubbed 'The Next Change', it is a series of revamps 'CHiLL-REX!' undergoes every year to keep up to date with the world of music introducing changes that will be relevant.
'CHiLL-REX!' has so far been through one slight revamp in the first quarter of 2009 but according to the Board of Directors, that was only a trail run for the actual overhaul.
The development in this year's annual overhaul will see CHiLL-REX! shutting down all-time favourite recently-revamped cycling recreational club, 'cubeclubbing' and the newly-launched movie club, 'FreezeRoll!'.
On its web radio wing, CHiLL FM and REX! RADiO will stand down. Subsequently, all manpower and resources will be shifted to accommodate 'CHiLL-REX!'.
This announcement was made two months prior to the actual corporatization so that fans and friends of 'CHiLL-REX!' will not be unduly surprised. However, there are some fans who have already started criticizing the club as being unfaithful to its alma-mater (CHiLL FM).
Chief Executive Officer of 'CHiLL-REX!', Terence Goh, asserted by stating that there will be exciting programmes lined-up when the club break new grounds on 20 September 2009.
Meanwhile, President & Director-General of 'CHiLL-REX!', Damian Cheong is con-currently busy on upcoming projects with the club's partners and plans to further expand the scope of the club by introducing new objectives gradually.
A spokesperson from the club thus elaborated that these changes have minimal relevance to global issues and ruled out that it is neither the current Influenza A (H1N1-2009) pandemic nor the global financial crisis that caused these changes.
The club had added on texts to their logo such as Radio, Music, Event and Club to signify that it has been re-branded to constitute tunes fusing event managing altogether to transform into a miniature club of its own.
Following a slated ground-breaking ceremony this time round, all changes will be effective from 20 September 2009.

CHiLL-REX! in planning stages to launch Satellite Radio
CHiLL-REX! has all the while been broadcasting its programmes live on air via Internet Web Radio Systems. With the ever-changing technology so rapidly advancing, the club has decided to upgrade its systems for the better.
Currently in planning stages, the whole process of evolving from an Internet Radio Station System to a Satellite Radio Station System will take as long as up to 6 months. Though it may sound simple, the technology behind it is drastic and highly sophisticated as it uses Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB).
Should CHiLL-REX! choose to offer DAB to its listeners, the listening pleasure would be so much desirable as there is no 'cut-off' signal and the quality is crystal clear.
More detailed updates to come when the station rebrands itself from 14 February 2009. According to a spokesperson from the club, the intended duration for the revamps and rebranding of the station will take up to a month. No exact date was given as to when the station will be launched again but the targeted date is 15 March 2009.

'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!' set to relinquish all-time popular segment "Are You Mad?!"
CHiLL-REX! has released reports on the sudden decision to forgo popular segment, "Are You Mad?!" citing poor reviews.
The popular segment was first introduced on 22 July 2008 to complement the show, 'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!' on top of its debut premiere. Initially, the main objective was to add spice to the show to bring it to a higher level.
But statistics from the Programme Department analysed that it has failed to achieve its desired target and wants something new for a change. The segment is a series of topics talk show where the show's host engage their listeners to be a part of it by sharing their views. The topics were always conceptualized by the CHiLL-REX! crew and has never been offered to the listeners for their suggestions.
"'Are You Mad?!' has been a good interactive segment for me", responded by one of CHiLL-REX!'s regular listener. It could be poor reviews from critics that left the Board of Directors with the hasty decision.
DJ Damian, host for 'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!' affirmed, "The show will still go on with or without a certain segment as it is unfair to call off the show just because of a segment which has been ceased. Who knows, there may be a new segment popping out just like that!".
More reports to come. Stay tuned to the blog for the latest updates.
'MUSiCMANiAC-NESS!' is scheduled to resume tonight at 2210 HRS (Singapore Time) and the Board of Directors has confirmed its airing.
