Hello everyone! To all our dear shortwave listeners Good evening! Good morning! Wherever you are. Welcome to the 3rd anniversary edition of the Philippine DX News. This is report No.38.I’m Henry Umadhay in Antique, Central Philippines. Glad to be back and thank you for listening
In today’s program we’ll continue our radio history series of medium wave stations here in the Philippines, our regular station logs and some A2010 frequency Schedule.
Today will have the history of the Philippine broadcasting service (PBS)
Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS) is a radio network in the Philippines. It is owned by the Philippine government with 26 AM stations and 5 FM stations.
On May 8, 1933, the U.S. government established and operated radio station DZFM (then KZFM) in the Philippines on frequency 710 kHz with a power of 10,000 watts through the United States Information Service. In September 1946, two months after the Philippines became an independent, KZFM was turned over to the Philippine government. With the transfer was born the Philippine Broadcasting Service, PBS the second broadcasting organization after Manila Broadcasting Company.
The station was first operated by the Department of Foreign Affairs until it was transferred to the Radio Broadcasting Board (RBB) which was created by President Manuel Quezon on September 3, 1937. Meanwhile in the same year, an international telecommunications conference in New Jersey, reassigned the letter “D” to replace the former “K” as the initial call letter for all radio stations here in the Philippines. In January 1942, the RBB was abolished to give way to the establishment of the Philippine Information Council (PIC) which then assumed the function of the RBB, including the operation of DZFM. In turn, the PIC was abolished on July 1, 1952, and since then, until the creation of the Department of Public Information in 1959.
Over the years hence, the PBS had acquired 13 more radio stations, one TV station. The National Media Production Center, NMPC, had acquired the facilities of the Voice of America in Malolos, Bulacan in 1965 and steadily brought the old complex up to standards. The NMPC operated the Voice of the Philippines, VOP, on both medium wave-918 kHz and shortwave 9.810 mHz transmissions. In 1975 obtained DWIM-FM. With this new station and some provincial stations that came under its wings earlier, the NMPC was a network and effectively covered a wide range of the Philippine listener ship.
.
The Broadcasting board and the NMPC were brought under one administrative roof in 1980 when the Office of Media Affairs was created to provide a union for both networks within the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center on Broadcast Drive in Quezon City.
After the EDSA Revolution, the Office of Media Affairs was abolished, followed by the NMPC, and finally, the BB.
That lay the blueprints and groundwork of the Bureau of Broadcast Services.
During Aquino administration, PBS transferred its office from ABS-CBN complex to PIA Building in Visayas Avenue until today.
