History of DZMM
Early years
The fall of the Marcos Regime brought about the return of ABS-CBN. In July of 1986, then newly-formed Presidential Commission on Good Governance turned two radio stations, DZWW and DZRR, back to ABS-CBN. DZWW was renamed DZMM and resumes broadcasting. Lito Balquiedra Jr., Vice-President for Radio, spearheaded the return of the giant network to the local broadcasting scene.
The network started recruiting both experienced and new employees. Their studios were initially located at Chronicle Building in Pasig (Where Benpress Corporation is currently located). After days of careful planning, DZMM was born, carrying the tagline ''"Ang Himpilan ng Malayang Mamamayan"'' (Station of the free citizen) on July 22, 1986.
Dely Magpayo was the first ever anchor to grace the airwaves of the station with her program ''Dear Tiya Dely'', followed by other broadcast icons like Ernie Baron, Kuya Cesar, Jun Ricafrente, Rene Jose, and Noli de Castro.
Also, Knowledge Power, the first ever full-length program of the station was launched. It was also the country’s first-ever scholastic program on AM radio.
As it was in the past, DZMM held on the tradition of the stalwart ABS-CBN Radyo Patrol (field reporters) of the 60's and early 70's to further develop the station's capabilities in serving the public. Mr. Jun Ricafrente, one of the original members of the team, started training new recruits. The first to be hired were Claude Vitug, Emil Recometa, Lito Villarosa and Neil Ocampo.
In October 1986, the station was transferred to its current studios in the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center in Quezon City.
In 1987, the first ever tandem on local AM radio was introduced. Mel Tiangco and Jay Sonza were the host of ''Mel & Jay'' and immediately became a hit to the listeners and lasted for couple of years. It was also in the same year when DZMM build a remarkable roster of radio talents, including Korina Sanchez, Frankie Evangelista, and Neil Ocampo.
It was also in this year when military insurgents took over the station. However, this did not stop DZMM from delivering news to the public, the booth was moved to then undisclosed location and immediately resumed broadcasting.
Ted Failon joined DZMM’s roster of broadcasters in 1990 and had a program with the station entitled ''Gising Pilipinas''.
Public service on radio
In 1991, ''Aksyon Ngayon'', the first ever program on AM radio devoted solely to public service was created. First anchored by Korina Sanchez and Ted Failon, ''Aksyon Ngayon'' immediately soared to the top of the ratings list. Because of the thousands of less-fortunate Kapamilyas flocking the station asking help from ''Aksyon Ngayon'', the executives decided to create the ''DZMM Public Service Center'', the first ever separate office exclusively created for public service by a local AM station. Currently, ''Aksyon Ngayon'' is being anchored by Sen. Alfredo Lim and Kaye Dacer and Angelo Palmones (substitute for Kaye).
On November 5, 1993, DZMM launced ''Pulis, Pulis Kung Umaksiyon, Mabilis''. The program was first anchored by broadcast icons, Kabayan Noli de Castro, Jay Sonza, and Mel Tiangco. It was created to keep the public informed on the activities of the Philippine National Police. It also became a venue for comments and grievances of the listening public on issues concerning the law enforcers.
In 1995, DZMM won the KBP Golden Dove awards for the ''Best AM Radio Station''. It was also on the same year when DZMM produced the award-winning Radio Documentary, ''Ang Kasaysayan ng Radyo sa Pilipinas'' – the first ever radio special that won three major awards from three celebrated award-giving bodies. The documentary was conferred with the Lorenzo Ruiz award by the CMMA, Best Radio Program Promoting the Culture and the Arts by KBP, and Best Radio Program by the Golden Pearl Award.
DZMM once again was declared Best AM Radio Station by the KBP Golden Dove Awards in 1996. In November 5, ''Jeep ni Erap'' was formally launched on DZMM. The then vice-president Joseph Estrada himself anchored the program that tackled issues concerning the masses.
Also, in 1996, DZMM became the first local AM station to be made available in the World Wide Web with its inclusion in the ABS-CBN website. All programs of the stations are broadcast live and can be enjoyed by all Filipinos around the world via The Filipino Channnel (TFC).
New slogan
In 1998, from ''Himpilan ng Malayang Mamamayan'', DZMM, under the leadership of then Vice-President for Radio Network Division Kabayan Noli de Castro, was re-launched as ''DZMM Radyo Patrol 630'' with a much stronger and bolder battle cry, "Una sa Balita, Una sa Public Service".
DZMM ranked first among all AM radio stations in 1998. For the fourth year in a row, it won the KBP Golden Dove Award for Best AM Radio Station. In its continuing effort to help our less-fortunate Kapamilyas, DZMM staged the first ever ''OPLAN MM'' or ''Malusog at Malakas na Mamamayan''. This event was first held at Sta. Cruz, Manila where 1500 residents were given medical and dental care. In June 11, DZMM aired its centennial special titled, ''Ang Media at ang Kasarinlan''.
In September 14, 1998, Sky Patrol, the first ever in the country, was launched. Anchored by Ricky Velasco, Sky Patrol changed the way of delivering and gathering news.
The station's ''Iwas Dagdag-Bawas'' and ''Oplan MM ‘98'' campaigns were cited as Outstanding Public Service Messages by the prestigious AdBoard Araw Values Awards 1998, besting more than 100 entries from different advertising companies and broadcast networks.
Kabayan
In February 2001, the last episodes of 'Kabayan (Kapangyarihan ng Mamamayan, Balita at Talakayan)'' aired. At the time, it was DZMM’s top-rating radio program anchored by Noli de Castro. The show had to end its run in order to allow de Castro to run for the Senate.
Also in 2001, DZMM celebrated its 15th anniversary of broadcasting on-air with its richly deserved tagline, "Una sa Balita, Una sa Public Service". It was also on the same year when the station tapped the power of text messaging with DZMM ''TxtPatrol''. This technology enabled the listeners to voice out their concerns faster and easier.
DZMM’s trademark drama theatre aired weekday afternoons, changing the way people perceived radio drama. The drama theatre featured the real life-stories of DZMM anchors like Bro. Jun Banaag, Joey Galvez, Sen. Alfredo Lim, and other personalities. It was also on the same year when ''Sports Talk'' was launched. This jam-packed sports-oriented program won CMMA’s Best Sports Program on its first year of airing.
In 2005, listeners’ first heard the DZMM theme. It was composed by Jessie Lasaten, with words of Bing Alao, Robert Labayen, and Peter Musngi (now ABS-CBN's Vice President for Radio), and sang by Reuben Laurente, a former member of the music group The Company.
On February 7, 2006, ''SikaPinoy'' was conferred with the Anvil Award of Merit by the celebrated Anvil Awards of the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP).
20 years
It was also in 2006 when DZMM celebrated its 20th Anniversary in Cuneta Astrodome with a bang- dubbed as ''Happy 20 DZMM''. The theme of DZMM was given a different twist with the Megastar- Sharon Cuneta singing the anthem.
