It will be very interesting to note that NORA AUNOR also was a big Radio hit in 1969 when she was one of the lead players of Johnny De Leon's OPERETANG PUTOL PUTOL, a variety radio show, aired over DZXL from 11 am to 12 noon every Sunday and followed by Fiesta Extravaganza. Operatang Putol-Putol was converted into a TV show then into a movie directed by Tony Santos Sr.

Nora Aaunor can be heard in the said radio show along with Perla Adea, Richard Merck, Danny Taguiam, Dolly Favorito, Joe Alvarez, Esperanza Fabon, Ben David and Elizabeth Ledesma ( a former Tawag Ng Tanghalan Champion and who eventually took over the spot of Nora Aunor when the latter became too involved in the movies and her schedule can no longer fulfill her the radio show)

Likewise, Nora Aunor was heard and guested in Fiesta Extravaganza and in the long running afternoon radio program of German Moreno ( The Germiside Show where he had a Guy and Pip portion) and only songs of Nora Aunor and Tirso Cruz were played over and over again from 2 to 3 pm every Sunday aired via DZMM.
