DWPM

Origins

On May 23, 2023, ABS-CBN Corporation announced in its press release that the company will enter into a joint venture agreement with Prime Media Holdings, Inc., owned by then 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 possible revival of DZMM on its frequency 630 kHz.[6][7]

2023–2025: Radyo 630

On June 26, 2023, 630 kHz conducted a test broadcast under the DWPM callsign.[8][3]

The station made its soft launch on June 30, 2023, as Radyo 630.[9] A day prior to the launch, hosts of several programs from ABS-CBN's Filipino cable news channel TeleRadyo (formerly DZMM TeleRadyo) has informed their viewers to tune-in to the new station the next day. Its soft launch coincided with the relaunch of TeleRadyo as TeleRadyo Serbisyo, which is also now handled under the Prime Media/ABS-CBN joint-venture management.[10] It had its official launch on July 17, with the debut of its afternoon and evening programs.[11][12] On August 5, the station introduced its weekend afternoon and evening programs to the station's programming grid. On March 4, 2024, the station introduced its weekday early morning programming and its early morning weekend programs 5 days later on March 9. On July 1, 2024, coinciding with the relaunch anniversary, the station had a minor schedule revamp and expanded its programming to round-the-clock.

On May 21, 2025, Radyo 630 and TeleRadyo Serbisyo began airing teasers featuring theme music and stingers previously used by DZMM,[13] signaling a potential rebranding aligned with the legacy and identity of its predecessor. The move has also sparked reports that ABS-CBN and the Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC), the station's co-owners, are considering increased financial support to stabilize and revitalize the station.[14][15]

2025–present: The return of DZMM

On May 29, 2025, at 8:00 PM, Radyo 630 was officially rebranded as DZMM Radyo Patrol 630, marking the revival of the iconic branding after five years. Simultaneously, TeleRadyo Serbisyo was rebranded back to DZMM TeleRadyo, with both platforms continuing operations under Media Serbisyo Production Corporation. Despite the rebranding, DWPM remains the station's call letters.[1]

The relaunch featured a refreshed rendition of DZMM's classic 2005 jingle, performed by Martin Nievera, and was headlined by the station's inaugural news bulletin anchored by Alvin Elchico (one of the last voices on air before DZMM's temporary shutdown in 2020) and Johnson Manabat. The official relaunch night was held in the Ayala Museum in Makati.[16]

Most existing Radyo 630 programs were retained during the transition, pending a broader programming overhaul on June 2, 2025. This revamp included the return of legacy shows such as the beloved radio drama Maalaala Mo Kaya sa DZMM, the flagship public service program Aksyon Ngayon, and the station's rolling newscast, Radyo Patrol Balita.[17][18] Meanwhile, the Radyo 630 field reporters are retained, with most of the appointments from 2023 becoming the 4th generation of Radyo Patrol reporters.

The return of MMK, alongside the Friday afternoon segment of Ako 'To Si Tyang Amy called Tyang Amy Presents, marked the return of radio dramas for the first time since 2020. The production of the latter became the official radio drama division of DZMM. On September 1, 2025, a new radio drama program, Kwento Nights, made its debut.
