MBC promoted their two FM stations on All About Eve by ‘broadcasting’ Sun-Mi’s evening radio program

Musical Postcards over the same frequencies the actual stations use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Episode13

 

When Hyung-Chul listens to Sun-Mi from his home as she appeals to her listeners for money to pay a sick child’s operation, his stereo is tuned to MBC’s Standard FM channel, which has the tagline B14U 비더원포유 [♡]  (Be The One For You).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Episode 17

 

As Hyung-Chul listens to Musical Postcards while driving home after work, his stereo is tuned to MBC’s channel specializing in music, FM 91.9, which uses the tagline FM4U (FM for You).

 

When the broadcast unexpectedly cuts off (at the time Sun-Mi faints) he checks to see if the radio is working by tuning to MBC’s other station, 95.9 FM. The stations are set to selection #2 and #3 on his tuner.

 

The story does not reveal why Sun-Mi’s program was moved from 95.9 SFM to 91.9 FM, nor when that change occurred.
