DWIZ 882 Ang Himpilang Naghahatid

Upon acquisition, test broadcasts of the 25,000-watt-powered newly formatted AM station started during April 1991, and it successfully lasted for a month. The station also pioneered another first in the history, as it introduced the Broadcast Tandem System, wherein each news program has two broadcasters on board. Leading the station's first years of broadcast are some of the anchors and reporters transferred from DZRH (one of them is Rey Langit, who eventually became the station manager in 1991, until he resigned in 2016). The first big news coverage on DWIZ was the country’s annual Independence Day celebrations in 1991, followed immediately by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. In 1994, DWIZ officially switched to its current 50,000 watt transmitter facility.

In 2000, DWIZ relocated their studio from Dominga Building, Pasong Tamo, Makati City (home of Aliw's sister companies BusinessMirror and Pilipino Mirror) to their current home in Citystate Centre in Shaw Boulevard, Pasig.

In 2005, DWIZ launched Karambola, a morning political commentary program featuring a panel of journalists and columnists led by Jonathan De la Cruz. Karambola is now one of the station's longest-running program.

On January 3, 2014, DWIZ signed a 3-year memorandum of agreement with Radio Philippines Network (owner of CNN Philippines-affiliated stations and Radyo Ronda) for the expanded coverage of the both TV and radio networks nationwide. Selected programs of this station are also simulcasted on the Radyo Ronda Network. DWIZ also launched its first ever radio jingle on July 14, 2014 during the onslaught of Typhoon Glenda (Rammasun).
