87.5 FM, broadcasting as FM1, is an upcoming radio station in the Metro Manila area, owned and operated by the government of the Philippines through the Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS) under the Presidential Communications Group. FM1 will reportedly share studios with DWBR at the 4th Floor, Philippine Information Agency Building, Visayas Avenue, Quezon City; although there's no official word on where its main transmitter will be constructed.
Prior to the PBS's acquisition, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) asked the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to reserve the said frequency for local campuses due to multiple reports that some others will use the latter frequency for commercial purposes.
In an official statement by Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Martin Andanar, the PBS acquired the 87.5 MHz frequency and was later approved by the NTC.
