History[edit]
On May 23, 2023, ABS-CBN 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 planned revival of DZMM on its original frequency of 630 kHz.[1][2]
On June 26, 2023, 630 kHz conducted a test broadcast under the DWPM callsign.[3][4]
