Viva South/Halo Halo Radio

Halo Halo Radio is a brand name for Viva's radio stations in Davao and Zamboanga, and previously in Cebu City. It was launched as Oomph! Radio before the end of 2014, following Viva's acquisition of Ultimate Entertainment's broadcast franchise from the Manalang family, who spun-off its concert and theatrical production arm into a new entity as Ultimate Shows. Its format playlist consisted of local and international songs. In May 2016, Viva Live briefly dropped the Oomph! Radio brand and went to an independent branding among stations by adding 70s, 80s and 90s music to its playlist, despite retaining its format and the Ultimate Radio name. In July 2016, however, Viva Live brought back the Oomph! Radio brand and its Top 40/OPM format. In February 2017, the Oomph! Radio brand was dropped permanently due to management decision. In May 2017, Oomph! Radio was relaunched as Halo Halo Radio, an all-OPM station, with its music catalogue prioritizing those performed by Viva music talents. In August 2024, its Cebu station was rebranded as 105.1 TMC with a
