DWRR-FM
DWRR-FM (pronounced as DW-double-R; 101.9 FM Stereo), broadcasting as MOR 101.9, was a commercial radio station owned by ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation and previously operated by the Manila Radio division and the Star Creatives Group. Broadcast live throughout the Philippine archipelago, and throughout the world via The Filipino Channel (TFC), it was the flagship FM station of MOR Philippines and the number 1 FM radio station in Metro Manila, Mega Manila as well as the entire Philippines according to KBP Radio Research Council. The studios were located at ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center, Sgt. Esguerra Ave., corner Mo. Ignacia Ave., Diliman, Quezon City, and the station's 22.5 kW multiplex FM stereo transmitter was located at the Eugenio Lopez Center, Santa Cruz, Sumulong Highway, Antipolo City, Rizal Province.
DWRR was founded in 1956 as one of the radio stations of Chronicle Broadcasting Network (now ABS-CBN). It was revived in 1986 and reformatted several times. On May 5, 2020, it suspended its broadcasting activities, together with that of its television and sister radio stations, following a cease-and-desist order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative franchise to operate. The online radio permanently ceased operations on August 28, 2020, as a result of a franchise denial made by the House of Representatives on July 10, 2020.
DZYL-FM 102 MHz, later renamed DZYK-FM 102.1 MHz, was the first FM radio station in the Philippines and the sole FM outlet of the former Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN). Established in 1956, it featured the latest music of the time and was staffed by eight DJs who helped popularize the station in the Greater Manila area. In 1957, CBN acquired Alto Broadcasting System (ABS), leading to a merger under Bolinao Electronics Corporation, which was renamed ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation in 1967. In 1968, DZYK-FM shifted to 101.9 MHz.
DZYK-FM remained ABS-CBN's FM radio station until 1972, when President Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr. declared martial law and ordered the shutdown of all ABS-CBN stations, including two TV channels and six AM radio stations in Manila, under censorship. In 1973, the FM station was taken over by Banahaw Broadcasting Corporation and rebranded as DWWK-FM. From 1979 to 1984, DWWK-FM gained recognition for its jazz format and was staffed by notable personalities such as Jing Magsaysay, Wayne Enage, Ed Picson, Dody Lacuna, Ronnie Malig, Pinky Villarama, and Ronnie Quintos. In 1984, it was rebranded as DWOK-FM, the first FM station to adopt an AM-style format, featuring news, public service programs, and nostalgic music. Renowned broadcaster Helen Vela also joined DWOK with her counseling program Lovingly Yours, Helen.
During the 1986 People Power Revolution, reformist rebels stormed government-controlled radio and TV stations, leading to the dissolution of DWOK, DWAN(formerly DWWA), and BBC-2. Following the fall of the Marcos regime, the newly formed Presidential Commission on Good Governance returned DWOK and DWWW (630 kHz) to ABS-CBN in July. DWOK changed its callsign to DWKO and resumed test broadcasts on July 16, led by Lito Balquiedra Jr., Vice-President for Radio, who spearheaded the network's return to local airwaves. Former disc jockey Peter Musñgi-then known as Peter Rabbit-became the network's voice-over artist and introduced the station's new slogan, “Panalo Ka Talaga!” Sister station DZMM 630 launched its broadcasts the following week.
The network began recruiting both seasoned professionals and new talent as it prepared for a full relaunch. On September 14, 1986, following its test broadcast phase, DWKO-FM was officially relaunched as Knock-Out Radio 101.9, the first FM station in the country to adopt an AM-style format. Operating daily from 5:00 a.m. to 2:00 a.m., the station featured the latest Pinoy hits by artists such as Rico J. Puno, Yoyoy Villame, and APO Hiking Society, along with rising OPM stars like Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez, Janno Gibbs, and Donna Cruz. It also played classic Filipino Christmas songs. On the same day, ABS-CBN Channel 2 resumed television broadcasts. At the time, ABS-CBN's stations were collectively branded as the Star Network.
DWKO-FM ended its broadcasts on February 28, 1987, marking one of the station's shortest-lived iterations, lasting just under five months.
The following day, on March 1, 1987, the station rebranded as Zoo FM 101.9 (DZOO-FM, read as D-Z-double O-FM), adopting a new diamond logo and a slightly upbeat pop sound. The station's jingles were produced by JAM Creative Productions, and its slogan became “Hayop Talaga!” It was staffed by a team of eight DJs, including George Boone, Jeremiah Jr., Bob Curry, Bill O'Brien, Andy Santillan (aka Dave Ryan, later known as “The Unbeatable”), and Joe Monkey. Zoo FM played a mix of disco, top 40 hits, and OPM favorites from artists like Gary V, Randy Santiago, Regine Velasquez, Ogie Alcasid, and Sharon Cuneta, especially following the implementation of Executive Order No. 255 by President Corazon Aquino.
