From 1975 to 1978, the Sinag Awards were given by the Philippine Academy for Television
Arts and Sciences (PATAS). The Star Awards for Television are the oldest existing
television awards in the country; they are handed out annually by the Philippine Movie
Press Club and are voted by the press.
The ABS studio was a makeshift barn along Florentino Torres Street in Manila. With the
transmitter acquired from RCA, the telecasts were received clearly not only in Manila but
also in the neighboring provinces. Except for the four engineers who was sent to the US for
training, most of the personnel at ABS learned TV operations on the job. The first
transmitter for the station was located in San Juan.
In 1953, less than a month after the first telecast, Father James Reuter SJ, who had radio
and television training, produced the first play on Philippine television entitled Cyrano de
Bergerac. The three-hour-long play was aired live and all the talents were students.
In the beginning, Philippine TV networks would buy the rights of airing mediocre American
TV programs and serials since it was cheaper than producing local shows. In order to
entice advertisers, as well as to encourage increased viewership, simultaneous airing of
programs on radio and television resorted to promotional gimmicks. Many popular radio
shows, including, TawagngTanghalan, KuwentongKutsero, and Student Canteen, started
their life on TV this way.
In 1958, the combined ABS (DZAQ-TV Channel 3) and CBN (DZXL-TV Channel 9)
television stations moved to their new studios in Roxas Boulevard, Pasay City and the ABS
radio facilities moved to the Chronicle Building in the Intramuros District of Manila, the
home building of the CBN Radio studios.
At the turn of the next decade, TV sets became the most sellable appliance in the urban
areas. Also within this period, other VHF TV stations opened. These include the DZBB-
TV (established on October 29, 1961 by Republic Broadcasting System (RBS), owned
by Robert Stewart), DZFM-TV (established in 1961 by the Philippine government, now
defunct), DZTM-TV (established in 1960 by Associated Broadcasting Corporation (ABC),
owned by the Roces family, the publisher of The Manila Times), DZKB-TV (established in
1969 by Kanlaon Broadcasting System (KBS) of Roberto Benedicto), DWGT-
TV (established in 1974, run by the Government Television (GTV), state-owned),
and DZTV-TV (established in 1960 by Inter-Island Broadcasting Corporation (IBC), owned
by Andrés Soriano, Sr. of San Miguel Corporation), DZRH-TV (established on April 11,
1962, by the Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), owned by Manuel "Manolo" Elizalde
Sr.). Among the top rated programs in the 1960s were The Nida-Nestor
Show, BuhayArtista, and Pancho Loves Tita. Another local show that has had a prevailing
top rating is TawagngTanghalan, the amateur singing contest hosted by Lopito and Patsy.
BEC's DZAQ-TV Channel 3 staged in 1963 the first-ever test television broadcasts in color
and would broadcast in color in 1966.
On February 1, 1967, the corporate name of BEC was changed to ABS-CBN Broadcasting
Corporation. Also, during this year, Radiowealth Inc. pioneered in the production of 19-, 21-
and 25-inch models of color TV sets. Moreover, it was favored by advertisers like Procter
and Gamble, Philippine Refining Company, Colgate-Palmolive, Del Rosario Brothers,
and Caltex.
In 1969, Filipinos witnessed the live television coverage of the Apollo 11 historic moon
landing. It was the first live telecast via satellite in the country. Channels 5, 7 and 13 tied up
for the said project, while ABS-CBN produced its own color coverage.[5] On November 14,
1969, DZAQ-TV would transfer from channel 3 to channel 2, while its sister station DZXL-
TV transferred from channel 9 to channel 4. On October 15, 1969, Kanlaon Broadcasting
By the late 1960s, news and public affairs programs were pioneered by ABS-CBN and
ABC. The Big News (in English) on ABC's DZTM-TV Channel 5 and The World Tonight (in
English) on ABS-CBN's DZAQ-TV Channel 2 were the first news programs on Philippine
television, followed in that same period by Newswatch (in English) of KBS's DZKB-TV
Channel 9. ABS-CBN pioneered Filipino language news programming in the primetime
slots, with DZAQ-TV Channel 2 having BalitaNgayon and DZXL-TV Channel 4
having ApatnaSulokngDaigdig, with Orly Mercado as its first presenter.
By 1971, the Philippines, through Radiowealth Inc., had become the third country in the
world to manufacture color TV sets. By January 1972, the growth of the Philippine
television industry was unstoppable. Aside from ABS-CBN's pioneer satellite broadcasts,
stations opened up one after the other in many parts of the country beginning in 1961,
when DYCB-TV Channel 3, the pioneer provincial television channel, was opened in Cebu
City, bringing four hours of locally produced programming with relays of Manila programs.

On July 30, 2018, ABS-CBN TVplus conducted free trial of the new set of freemium
channels using UHF Channel 16 (485.143 MHz). It includes cable channels from sister

channels, Asianovela Channel and Movie Central. Initially, the five new channels will be

On June 30, 2020, all the digital channels of ABS-CBN TVplus were forced to stop
operations due to the alias cease-and-desist order (ACDO) issued by the National
Telecommunications Commission. However, digital broadcasts of other networks such as
TV5 and GMA Network remained on-air on TVplus.
This was not the first test however. Archives suggest that in 1922, an American woman
named Mrs. Redgrave used a five-watt transmitter for a test broadcast from Nichols Field
(now Villamor Airbase). This test is possibly the first radio broadcast in Asia.
Henry Herman's station originally broadcast using a 5-watt transmitter. In 1924, it boosted
its power to 100 watts. On October 4, 1924, Henry Herman transferred KZKZ's ownership
In 1929, RCP launched KZRC in Cebu broadcasting with a 100-watt transmitter, but was
later sold to store owner Isaac Beck. It is now DYRC owned by the Manila Broadcasting

TELEVISION
a system for transmitting visual images and sound that are reproduced on screens,
chiefly used to broadcast programs for entertainment, information, and education.
RADIO
Radio is the technology of signaling and communicating using radio waves. Radio
waves are electromagnetic waves of frequency between 30 hertz (Hz) and
300 gigahertz (GHz).
By 1910 these various wireless systems had come to be referred to by the common name
"radio".
Radio waves were first identified and studied by German physicist Heinrich Hertz in 1886.
The first practical radio transmitters and receivers were developed around 1895–1896 by
Italian Guglielmo Marconi, and radio began to be used commercially around 1900.
Regardless of who created the very first radio, on December 12, 1901, Marconi's place in
history was forever sealed when he became the first person to transmit signals across the
Atlantic Ocean. Prior to the 1920s, the radio was primarily used to contact ships that were
out at sea.
Despite radio’s clear relevance to our safety in natural disasters, some are advocating for a
policy that would curb its reach. More specifically, the recording industry is lobbying for a
performance tax on stations that would levy fees for playing labels’ songs. Radio stations
already pay royalties to music publishers and song writers, and this new tax would be a
burden to stations that are already under financial pressure.
Radio stations operate under tight margins; therefore any adverse policy change will affect
stations’ ability to stay in business. In addition to serving as the lifeblood of emergency
communication, they also provide jobs and play a day-to-day role in the lives their
communities. There is every reason to support radio stations’ continued existence rather
than put them in jeopardy, especially in the wake of a recession and natural disasters.
Local radio is most important to local communities for more than just emergency
announcements and communication during disasters. They provide an outlet for normal
community messaging and activities such as local sports, community events, special
events, local business advertising, etc.
Love Radio
Love Radio was previously known by its call letters DZMB when it began
broadcasts on the FM band in 1975 from its first broadcast days on the AM band.
In the 2000s, Love Radio was reformatted to a contemporary masa, a format that
was trending on the landscape of FM radio in the country which was started by
rival stations since the dawn of the new millennium.
People love listening to radio for a number of reasons, whether it's discovering
new music or catching up with the latest news, discover its popularity.
