History
PBS-BBS HISTORY
During World War II, the U.S Office of War Information set up a radio station with call letters KZSO inside a US navy submarine with the intention of sending messages and updated information on the progress of the war against Japan. The station played a vital role and contributed largely to the early occupation of the Philippines by the US armed forces.
This 50-watt portable radio station later found its way to the Philippines when USAFFE soldiers landed in Lingayen Gulf during the first week of February 1945. KZSO was alongside the American soldiers as they reached Manila. A makeshift studio was constructed in an old warehouse of Carmelo and Bauermann on Azcarraga St. (now Claro M. Recto), beside the Far Eastern University. The following year, KZSO renamed KZFM–temporarily moved to the Ramon Roces Building on Soler St. in Sta. Cruz, Manila until it was turned over to the Philippine Government– under the Department of Foreign Affairs–in September 1946.
The Radio Broadcasting Board, created on September 12, 1947, took charge of the administration and operation of KZFM, which moved its studios to the fourth floor of the Manila City Hall building on Taft Avenue. On January 1, 1952, the Board was abolished. In its place was established the Philippine Information Council. In compliance with a resolution approved in the International Telecommunication Conference in Atlantic City, U.S.A., all radio stations in the Philippines would adopt the letter “D” as the first letter of its call letters. Thus KZRM became DZFM. On July 1, 1952, the Philippine Information Council was abolished and consequently, DZFM was placed under the Office of The President in Malacaņang.
