She had a morning radio show on 99.5 Hit FM (now

By September, she was part of its replacement, ''The HiT Morning Crew'', along with the Flushmasters Sonny B & Bennii and newsgirl Christina (previously with Robi the Rascal and Boytoy Chevy Chase).

Sam Oh appears on her show, ''Modern Girls'' with
Denise Laurel and
Gretchen Ho on Lifestyle TV Philippines. She was heard on ''Disturbing the Peace with Gibb'' on 99.5 RT and is currently a co-host on ''
