The National Media Production Center (NMPC) was a government-owned media agency in the Philippines that existed during the regime of then-president Ferdinand Marcos. Like any government departments, it was then headed by a secretary, and later by a minister.
History
The NMPC was established on June 1, 1953.[1] They acquired the facilities of the Voice of America in Malolos, Bulacan in 1965 and steadily brought the old complex up to standards by a steady overhaul, fine-tuning, and outright replacement of outmoded equipment and machines. The NMPC operated the Voice of the Philippines, VOP, on both medium wave-918 kHz and shortwave 9.810 mHz transmissions. In 1975, the NMPC obtained DZRB-FM. With this new station and some provincial stations that came under its wings earlier, the NMPC was a network and effectively covered a wide range of the Philippine listenership.[2]
After ABS-CBN was closed and the PBS was abolished to give way for the Bureau of Broadcasts (BB), the government through NMPC started to broadcast its own television station on
