Radyo Pilipino Corporation, presently operating as Radyo Pilipino Media Group, is a Philippine broadcasting company owned by Lucky Star Holdings. Originally founded in 1924, it is the oldest radio network in the Philippines; its current incarnation was founded on June 25, 1985, by a consortium led by businessman-politician Eduardo Cojuangco Jr.^[2]

Radyo Pilipino Corporation has four subsidiaries which currently serve as licensees: Radio Corporation of the Philippines (RadioCorp), Philippine Radio Corporation (PhilRadio), Radio Audience Developers Integrated Organization Inc. (RADIO Inc.), and Beacon Communications Systems Inc. (BCSI).

Currently, Radyo Pilipino Media Group owns two national radio brands, namely the AM network Radyo Pilipino (formerly known as Radyo Asenso), and the FM network One FM, and its lone television station RTV Tarlac Channel 26.

History[edit]

KZKZ (AM) is the second radio station in the Philippines owned by Henry Herman Sr. in 1922. It broadcast using a 5-watt transmitter. In 1924, it boosted its power to 100 watts. A few months later, Radio Corporation of the Philippines bought KZKZ AM from Henry Hermann. In 1926 the company began to work on constructing two of the largest radio stations in Asia with the idea of maintaining direct Manila-San Francisco service.^[3]^[4]

On April 7, 1980, Radyo Pilipino Corporation was founded with the acquisition of Tarlac-based DZTC AM in 1981.^[5]

On June 25, 1985, the current incarnation of RadioCorp was founded by a consortium led by Eduardo Cojuangco Jr. following the acquisition of Tarlac-based DWXT FM.^[2]

In 2015, RadioCorp officially ventured into television broadcasting with the launch of the network's first television station, DWRP-TV 26 on January 15. It was an affiliate of CNN Philippines until 2021.

In 2019, the RadioCorp group formally restructured its operations under a new name: Radyo Pilipino Media Group (named after Radyo Pilipino Corporation). With the relaunch, its AM stations, with most of them under the Radyo Asenso network, were rebranded under its namesake brand.

On October 21, 2019, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act No. 11415 which renewed Radyo Pilipino Corporation's legislative franchise for another 25 years. The law grants Radyo Pilipino Corporation a franchise to construct, install, operate, and maintain, for commercial purposes, radio broadcasting stations and television stations, including digital television system, with the corresponding facilities such as relay stations, throughout the Philippines.^[6]

In 2021, DWRP-TV was rebranded as RTV Tarlac Channel 26 and became an independent station.
