History
On May 23, 2023, ABS-CBN Corporation announced in its press release that the company will enter into a joint venture agreement with Prime Media Holdings, Inc., owned by House Speaker Representative Martin Romualdez, to produce and supply various programs including news content to broadcasters and third-party entities including the PMHI-owned Philippine Collective Media Corporation, operator of the Favorite Music Radio FM radio network. Among the plans for ABS-CBN and Prime Media's joint venture is the possible revival of DZMM on its frequency 630 kHz.[3][4]
On June 26, 2023, 630 kHz conducted a test broadcast under the DWPM callsign.[5][2]
The station had its soft launch on June 30, 2023, as Radyo 630.[6] A day prior to the launch, hosts of several programs from ABS-CBN's Filipino cable news channel TeleRadyo has informed their viewers to tune-in to the new station the next day. Its soft launch coincided with the relaunch of TeleRadyo as TeleRadyo Serbisyo, which is also now handled under the Prime Media/ABS-CBN joint-venture management.[7] It had its official launch on July 17, with the debut of its afternoon and evening programs.[8][9] On August 5, the station introduced its weekend afternoon and evening programs to the station's programming grid.
