History

Under ABS-CBN (2007–2023)

DZMM TeleRadyo featured a simulcast of DZMM's radio programs as well as a live video feed of the radio booth itself. As a result, viewers can hear DZMM 630, and see the people currently in the studio speaking on air, or in the case of special live occasions, live video footage simulcasted on the radio station can be also seen with clearer audio provided from the feed. Radio shows that have music aired on this station was supplemented with pictures of artists (during '' Yesterday'' and '' Remember When'') or random pictures instead of the studio scenes on selected programs. ''Moonlight Serenade'' was also a music program, however, it only shows random pictures instead of the artist's pictures while the song is playing. Content during commercial breaks was separated from advertisements in the radio feed which currently shows promotions for TeleRadyo and other ABS-CBN channels and becomes full-screen on datascreen, or disappeared on full-screen graphical format during non-produced advertisements. The channel, however, simulcasts the Three O' Clock prayer and the

, as well as the station's sign-on and sign-off messages depending on the broadcast content.

( GMA) and Cebu ( TV5), and the vice-presidential debate, aired on CNN Philippines), regular-scheduled programming will continue for TeleRadyo viewers until the coverage for radio ends. The timing with TeleRadyo and the radio feed can depend on the factors. The TeleRadyo can be delayed at seven seconds in Metro Manila if the radio feed is heard using the 630 frequency via AM radio, while it would be more advanced by 3 seconds or more when the radio feed is heard via online streaming. From June 19, 2017 to 2020, DZMM set-up an additional studio set for its radio programs such as ''Sakto'', ''Good Vibes'', ''Todo-Todo Walang Preno'' and ''On The Spot'' as part of the station's plans to convert into a full-fledged news channel in the future. From October 26, 2020 to June 29, 2023, ''Sakto'' was currently the only news program to use this studio. As of March 18, 2020, DZMM 630 and TeleRadyo began to share channel space with its sister English-language news network

This arrangement ended on April 20, however, ANC's hook-up on TeleRadyo continues during overnight graveyard slot. On June 26, 2021, TeleRadyo unveiled new lower-third graphics as the channel migrated to high-definition television broadcast online. However, the channel feed still used a 4:3 aspect ratio, but is stretched in an anamorphic vision format.

COVID-19 pandemic and ABS-CBN shutdown

Due to skeletal workforce imposed by the network due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DZMM TeleRadyo and Radyo Patrol 630 began to simulcast ANC newscasts and programs on some days and vice versa on other days for the coverage from March 19, 2020. However, the simulcast for the radio counterpart would break-away with a simulcast of MOR 101.9 on 10:00 pm until 4:30 am, temporarily replacing ''Dr. Love Radio Show'', ''Moonlight Serenade'' and ''Gising Pilipinas''. On April 1, given the decision to vacate the studios for the self-quarantine of many of the staff and the disinfection measures after being exposed to two PUIs, the channel provisionally broadcast ANC programming round the clock (with a 10pm breakaway for radio as it had been the case). Regular broadcasts resumed a day later on April 2. On May 5, 2020, DZMM TeleRadyo rebranded simply as TeleRadyo after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a cease-and-desist order against its radio counterpart and other ABS-CBN free TV and radio stations nationwide. The last program to air on May 5 was '' S.R.O.'', which was supposed to air until 11:00 pm ( PST) but ended broadcasts at 8:20 pm instead. Most DZMM TeleRadyo programming resumed on May 8 at 5:00 am (PST) where the old DZMM TeleRadyo logo appeared as a secondary logo (and as a bumper logo) beginning midday, with the TeleRadyo logo being primary. On May 10, 2020, its refurbished logo and bumper began to be used full-time replacing the old logos and bumper. On May 15, 2020, ANC stopped its simulcast with TeleRadyo and it was replaced by the replay episodes of ''Todo-Todo Walang Preno'' (from 11:00 pm to 12:00 mn), ''Good Vibes'' (from 12:00 mn to 1:00 am), ''Failon Ngayon'' (from 1:00 am to 3:00 am), and ''Lingkod Kapamilya'' (from 3:00 am to 5:30 am). The said channel's simulcast resumed in 2021. On May 16 to 17, 2020, ''
