Commonwealth and Third Republic
On May 8, 1933, the United States-sponsored Insular Government established and operated radio station DZFM (then KZSO, later KZFM) in the Philippines on the frequency of 710 kilohertz with a power of 10,000 watts through the United States Information Service. In September 1946, two months after the restoration of Philippine independence thru the Treaty of Manila, KZFM was turned over to the Philippine government. With the transfer was born the Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS), the second broadcasting organization after Manila Broadcasting Company (now MBC Media Group).
