History[edit]
DZUP began its broadcast in 1958 at the frequency of 1580 kilocycles, transmitted at 500 watts (but later increased to 2 kilowatts).[citation needed]
The station was closed in 1972 during the Martial Law of the Marcos regime, due to itself being the vocal of anti-Marcos movement. By the time of the People Power Revolution which ousted Marcos's dictatorship, DZUP resumed its operations in 1987, this time at 1566 KHz, before transferred to its current frequency at 1602 KHz since 1994.
On February 1, 2010, DZUP began its broadcast from a newly-acquired 5,000-watt transmitter tower, which was funded by the University's Office of the Chancellor.[citation needed]
In 2017, DZUP marked its countdown for their upcoming 60th anniversary.[citation needed]
Awards and recognitions[edit]
Over the recent years, DZUP has been nominated for Best AM Station for four (4) non-consecutive years at the KBP Golden Dove Awards. Aside from the station, most of its programs, special promotional materials and public service announcements were recognized by the KBP, the Catholic Mass Media Awards (CMMA), and other award-giving organizations.[3][4]
