Format and Schedule Changes
[edit]In 2010, Magic 89.9, at the turning point of its career as the #1 and most popular radio station in the Philippines, made several changes to its shows' format and time slots very much to the liking of its listeners. Boys Night Out was moved to an earlier and longer timeslot: Mondays to Thursdays, 6pm to 10pm. The show received positive feedback from its fans as it, to quote a listener: "helps ease the pain of traffic during rush hours at [sic] EDSA"
In 2015, they interviewed former Japanese AV Idol Maria Ozawa.[2][3]
Boys Night Out reduced into 3 hours from 6pm to 9pm. It used to moved into earlier timeslot before from 5pm to 7pm during the whole quarantine period.
