History

DWDD was established on July 10, 1986, as DZAF under the Ministry Order Number a-092. It began broadcasting on September 1, 1986, with 10 kW power from the Top Floor of the former 6th Brigade Headquarters. Despite its success, in August 1987, DZAF ceased its operations due to the exploitation by certain sectors in the military.

DWDD revived on January 4, 1988 with a meager 1 kW power. On August 1, 1991, it was placed under the operational control of the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Civil Military Operations, J7, Armed Forces of the Philippines. On July 1, 1994, Civil Relations Service, AFP took over the administrative and operational control of the station, months after DZCA closed shop.

Following the donation of 5 units 10 kW AM Radio transmitters from the Taiwan Ministry of National Defense on April 1993, DWDD was able to operate with a 10-kW power upon the successful installation of one of the main transmitting equipment.

Around October 2009, it ceased its operations again to upgrade its transmission facilities. In January 2010, it was launched once again.

DWDD supports national goals and helps accomplish DND and AFP missions by serving as an effective medium of information for its military and civilian personnel and the general public.
