According to a report by Rappler, DWPM Radyo 630 — a joint project between ABS-CBN and House Speaker Martin Romualdez’s Prime Media Holdings Incorporated, started broadcasting nearly all-day programming from July 17.

The two companies had announced a joint venture in May, where ABS-CBN would provide content while Prime Media controls the distribution and broadcasting.

DWPM Radyo 630 TeleRadyo Serbisyo Para sa Mamamayan (TeleRadyo Service For the People) signals ABS-CBN’s return on free radio, more than three years after it lost its free-to-air channels.

Radyo 630 had a soft launch for two weeks, from June 30 to July 16, with half-day programming from 6 am to 12:30 pm, and the hook-up of ABS-CBN’s flagship news program, TV Patrol, from 6:30 pm to 8 pm on 630 kilohertz (kHz) on the AM band. It started its YouTube streaming on July 3.

It features ABS-CBN anchors, reporters and former DZMM TeleRadyo talents filling up the afternoon to evening slots.

The KarTon tandem of ABS-CBN anchors Karmina Constantino and Tony Velasquez moves from the morning to the afternoon with Isyu Spotted, from 4 pm to 5 pm, from Mondays to Fridays. They used to anchor, On the Spot (OTS), on TeleRadyo, from 9 am to 10:30 am.
