MBC Media Group
The Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), doing business as the MBC Media Group, is a Philippine multimedia company that is owned by the FJE Group of Companies of Fred J. Elizalde, which also operates hotels and Pasay-based amusement park, Star City. MBC operates DZRH, the oldest radio station in the country, and five other national radio brands spread across several cities and provinces, including Aksyon Radyo, Love Radio, Yes FM, Easy Rock, and Radyo Natin. MBC Media Group's corporate headquarters and studios are located at the MMG Building inside the Star City amusement park at the CCP Complex, V. Sotto St., Pasay, Metro Manila.
MBC Media Group currently focuses on six business ventures namely, terrestrial radio, television (digital and pay TV), digital media, events, on-air and on-ground promotions and talent management for its roster of Radio DJs.
The origins of MBC can be traced to DZRH, which first went on air as KZRH on the morning of July 15, 1939, by the Heacock Company, a prominent department store based in Escolta Street, Binondo, Manila. Years later, it bought KZRC (now DYRC) from Isaac Beck in Cebu City. The Japanese took over the stations and KZRH became PIAM (Philippine Islands AM) for their propaganda use.
After World War II, the Elizalde brothers (Federico "Fred", Joaquin Miguel "Mike" and Manuel "Manolo") took over KZRH and KYRC. With the help of station manager Bertrand Silen, KZRH transferred its operations to the Insular Life Building in Plaza Cervantes. On June 12, 1946, the Elizaldes established the network under the Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC).
KZRH returned to the airwaves on July 1, 1946. At the same day, MBC launched KZMB. On July 4, 1946, it aired the live coverage of the Philippine independence from the United States and the inauguration of the third Philippine Republic.
In 1948, after the international telecommunications conference in the United States where the Philippines changed its first letter to "D", KZRH changed its callsign to DZRH (with the station expanded to over 30 stations nationwide) while KZMB changed also its callsign to DZMB.
In 1949, DZRH began airing the first radio drama, Gulong ng Palad. At the same year, MBC launched its another radio station, DZPI (the station was then renamed as DWIZ in 1972, until it was later sold to Aliw Broadcasting Corporation in 1991).
Ben Aniceto began his long media career, working with DZRH, DZMB, and DZPI as a radio talent.
