History

DZME started its broadcast on June 15, 1968 when the Congress authorized Capitol Broadcasting Center of Jose M. Luison and Sons, Inc. to operate an AM radio station nationwide. However, in 1987, the then former president Corazon Aquino shut down DZME for airing commentaries and news against the then Aquino Administration due to the series of coup attempts by the rebel soldiers. In 1996, a new group of investors took over and revived the station.

In 2009, DZME transferred to its new home at the Victory Mall in Caloocan City from its long-time former studios in Roosevelt Avenue, Quezon City as part of its plan to expand operations. Regional affiliates are likewise being developed to bolster its nationwide presence.
