The Triple Seven Transmitter was constructed on a huge vacant lot in 1993, as a new edifice for the network and for the preparation for broadcast to replace an old surplus 50-kilowatt transmitter located in FBN Building, Diliman, Quezon City, and to clear TV reception. The tower's construction uses 600 tons of steel from a local steel mill, costing PHP 170 Million pesos for the building of this tower. Antennas are also provided to enhance signal strength. After several months of planning, the tower completed in 1994, the tower was opened by FBN board of directors. A grand TV special was started after the inauguration.
