The Best of Chico and Delamar: The Morning Rush Top 10




Happy New Year!
Let us all start our 2012 with feel good vibrations – just laughter and fun.

Last December, I told myself that I deserve to give myself something special this Christmas. Nothing really got my attention, not a new phone, new clothes or shoes, or new gadgets. But only one thing caught my attention. I was grabbing some food to eat at Mini Stop a day before Christmas. There is this one book robbed my attention. I saw this ‘The Best of Chico and Delamar’s The Morning Rush Top 10”. Without any hesitation, I get the book and pay.

Ever since I was in high school, I am a constant listener of RX Monster 93.1. Then I entered and graduated college. I still remember when we were asked to visit AM and FM station for our Radio Subject, I choose them. For the long years now, RX Monster is giving quality and good entertainment to their listeners. Their markets have been growing from young adult to working classes. And the station is versatile enough to adjust to what the trend in audience/listener’s interest.

The Morning Rush is a weekday morning radio show of Monster Radio RX 93.1 and is hosted by Chico Garcia and Delamar Arias. The show has a cult following of listeners, who call themselves "Rushers". Rushers would usually tune in to the show while on their way to work or school. The show was first aired on Monster Radio in 1996 and was moved to 93.9 KCFM (now I! FM) in 1998, and then went back to Monster Radio in 2002. During the four-hour stretch, listeners would submit their entries via SMS and through their twitter account www.twitter.com/rxtmr (@rxtmr). The DJs would then pick the best entries and announce the bottom half starting at around 6:20 and the top half starting at around 6:50. 

The whole show would have four batches of top ten lists. There are also Saturday shows that happen every last Saturday of the month, which serves as the Rushers' monthly EB. Here, all the listeners of the show gather, will meet and greet Chico and Delle. Their Saturday show sometimes changed on special occasions. The last Saturday show of the Morning Rush aired on February 14, 2009 to make way for their Valentines Special. On their 15th-year anniversary (last July 9, 2011, the second Saturday of the month), Chico and Delle boarded as it was a regular Saturday show.

With the Morning Rush’s Top Ten book, here are my favorite Top Tens:
