Previously owned by Mabuhay Broadcasting Systems, Inc., DZXQ is a fully maintained station filled with blocktimers except for Sunday. It is the first AM station which aired Chinese Programming from 9pm - 12mn.

DZXQ was the home of Powerhouse Broadcasters such as Nar Pineda, Roger Arienda, Rolly Canon, Narissa Gonzalez, Ducky Paredes, Jhino Parrucho, Ruben Ilagan, Popo Villanueva, Roland Lumagbas, Dr. Erick San Juan and Reggie Vizmanos. It was also the home to An Affair with Baby Tsina, a lifestyle radio show.

On February 28, 2011, DZXQ ceased operations, a few days after a new set of investors acquired the station. Nar Pineda and the Powerhouse Broadcasters were forced to move to DWSS, while some moved to DWBL.

Radio La Verdad 1350, UNTV’s radio arm, was launched on Jan. 16, 2012.
