Addition for "masa"/contemporary MOR in Adult contemporary music#Soft adult contemporary.[edit]

The masa (mass-based) or "contemporary middle-of-the-road (MOR)" is a Philippines-specific offshoot of the soft AC format, with programming primarily in the Tagalog language and some elements borrowed from other formats and full-service radio. Masa was introduced in the late 1990s during the Joseph Estrada administration and is associated with national networks such as Love Radio and Yes FM by the MBC Media Group, iFM by Radio Mindanao Network and Star FM by Bombo Radyo Philippines; DWLS, the flagship FM radio station owned by GMA Network through its subsidiary RGMA Network, previously aired under The Giant WLS FM and later Campus Radio WLS FM banners with a mostly English-language Top 40 format, but switched to the masa format in a bid to appeal to a wider audience. Many English-language FM stations flipped to the new format from its onset, to varying degrees of success.

The masa formats core music are a mix of imported soft adult contemporary music and ballad-oriented Original Pilipino music (OPM) from the 1970s to the present; stations must play a certain amount of OPM during its regular programming, carrying on from regulations introduced during the Corazon Aquino administration. On the onset of the format's popularity, masa has featured 1970s local acts such as Rey Valera, Rico J. Puno, Freddie Aguilar, Jose Mari Chan and Hajji Alejandro and imported classic MOR acts such as the Carpenters, Bread, Bee Gees, John Denver, America and Bread. To appeal to a broader audience, it started including 1980s and 1990s music from ballad-oriented OPM acts such as Sharon Cuneta, Regine Velasquez, Basil Valdez, Martin Nievera, Gary Valenciano, Donna Cruz and Ogie Alcasid and imported AC music from foreign acts such as Air Supply, Cliff Richard, Bryan Adams, Journey, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Heart, Bon Jovi, Tiffany, Celine Dion, Michael Bolton and Mariah Carey. From the 2000s and 2010s, it has included music from newer OPM acts such as Sarah Geronimo, Yeng Constantino, MYMP, Silent Sanctuary, Morissette, Jona and Katrina Velarde and imported acts such as the Backstreet Boys, Westlife, Justin Bieber, Adele, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, and Ed Sheeran.

Specialty programs during certain times of day and Sundays form another distinctive part of the masa format. Weekday drive times and lunchtime programming usually feature a dance music, classic hits, K-pop and top 40 program. Sundays usually have a radically different program schedule, with a oldies and classic hits programs for the morning, and classic rock and dance programming in the afternoon; stations usually play AC music outside the hours of specialty programming. Most masa stations feature live programming, such talk segments, call-ins and radio dramas; some may also have religious programming (such as on Catholic Media Network member stations) or news (such as with Star FM stations, which broadcast a one-hour morning, noon and evening newscast simulcast with Bombo Radyo stations on the AM band).
