DZMC 98.3 (98.3 MHz in Metro Manila) is a low-power FM campus radio station owned by the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Manila College of Communication with an ongoing NTC application for license to operate. It broadcasts from the Campus Radio Station of the College of Communication Building, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Anonas Street, Sta. Mesa, Manila. It is used as a laboratory for the College of Communication (COC) students of the university. Its programming tentatively include news, sports, educational/children's programs, talk shows, commentaries, to music programs and request shows, mostly geared towards the interests of students, faculty and administration.

The station randomly operates from 8:00 am and ends at 5:00 pm, Mondays through Fridays & broadcast-free during semestral breaks. As of 2009, the station is currently off-the-air.

History

DZMC 98.3 was launched in September 2006 through the efforts of the DBC Chairperson Edna T. Bernabe and Prof. Albert Torres, also the voice continuity of GMA Network.

During the school year 2007-2008, the radio station was on a test broadcast run by COC students and facilitated by the DBC student organization, BroadCircle. In the summer of 2008, DBC held workshops to train COC students who will be handling the campus radio station. This school year 2008-2009, the test broadcast continues along with some simulation broadcasts featuring the trained student organizations.

Prof. John Gemperle, also known as Papa Jack - a radio announcer from 90.7 Love Radio provides assistance and training to students and faculty on the basics of announcing and technical know-how. Prof. Ricky Rosales, a radio announcer from DWIZ (now moved to DZMM), has also given lecture on news writing and reporting.

Due to the limited capacity of its transmitting signal, DZMC can only be heard within the vicinity of the P.U.P. Manila campus and its surrounding communities along Sta. Mesa, Manila. Plans to make the station available to as many listeners as possible are being considered once the NTC license be approved.

DZMC plans to utilize a regular programming on October, 2008. At present, auditions and trainings for in-house DJs, announcers, technical personnel and writers/researchers are ongoing.

DZMC Logo

In September 2008, the station was relaunched by BBrC III-4D and II-4D as part of their requirement in Communication Campaigns. They distributed brochures containing info about the station such as objectives and programming. A logo for DZMC was created by JM of BBrC159, which was derived from the design of COC's logo. The said logo can now be seen in a banner displayed at the radio station, and in pin buttons being given away to students.

The red half-arch on the left represents Broadcast Communication, the green half-arch represents Journalism, while the blue color represents Communication Research. The purple globe represents the administration and faculty of PUP College of Communication. A transponder engraved with the letters PUP and COC on the base (which also resembles the Pylon, a PUP symbol) is DZMC's commitment to produce globally competitive students equipped with the skills and knowledge needed for the broadcast media industry. Written on the logo are the station's call letters (DZMC), frequency band (FM), and frequency (98.3).

Hiatus

On a breaking news posted on the website of PUP-COC's The Communicator, it was reported that the all operations have been put on hold, due to reasons of pending license application.^[1] Relatively, an opinion article regarding the matter is also featured on the September–November 2008 print issue of The Communicator.^[2]
