Maroon FM is the first and only pop, new media, FM radio organization in the University of the Philippines – Diliman. Established in 2014, Maroon FM has been catering to different markets with our wide content releases and broadening our reach by adapting different forms of media, showcasing our versatility, and collaborating with organizations from various fields. We are committed to producing successful hosts, radio personalities, and industry contributors, while also nurturing passionate radio enthusiasts who gain experience across different areas of the media industry.Aligned with our mission to empower new media and emerging talent, Maroon Academy, the official education and research arm of Maroon FM, strives to sharpen the skills of aspiring media practitioners while advancing discourse in the ever-evolving world of radio and popular culture. Through student-led initiatives, Maroon Academy strengthens Maroon FM’s growth by equipping members with the knowledge and perspective needed to thrive in today’s media landscape.In support of this mission, Maroon Academy proudly presents Sidenote, Maroon FM’s first e-magazine which aims to tell stories of student life and youth culture often relegated to the margins or outside mainstream discourse. Through this publication, Maroon Academy and Maroon FM hope to highlight the interludes—overlooked moments, spaces, and interactions that exist outside structured academic life.
