DWDM (95.5 FM), branded as Pinas FM 95.5, is a radio station, airing an all-OPM format in Metro Manila. It is owned by Eagle Broadcasting Corporation, and is the official radio station of the Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM). The station's studio and transmitter are located at EBC Bldg., No. 25 Central Ave., Diliman, Quezon City. The station operates regularly from Monday to Sunday from 4:00AM to 12:00MN. Since 2015, there was no broadcast breaks during the Summer Break (known by most non-Iglesia Ni Cristo members as the Holy Week) and continues broadcasting OPM songs due to its popularity.
From 1987 to 1992, the station was launched under the brand Diamond 95.5. It played mainstream music.
In 1992, it changed its name to Pinoy Radio DM 95.5 (ninety-five-five). Its format featured OPM. It was also one of the first radio stations with DJs that spoke a mix of Filipino and English. It also launches the Pinoy Music Awards where OPM artists and songs are recognized. The station lasted for 10 years until it went off the air in 2002.
In 2002, it was rebranded as DWDM 95.5 as an easy listening station. It played automated oldies music with less commercials. It was branded as "Dazzling Music", and also the station's slogan "Feel Your Music" as it was one of the 3 easy listening stations in Metro Manila along with 96.3 WRocK (now 96.3 Easy Rock), 97dot9 Home Radio (now 97.9 Home Radio) & Mellow Touch 94.7 (now Mellow 947).
It ceased transmission in January 2007 to upgrade its transmitter facilities. In May 2007, it briefly returned in the airwaves on a lower bandwidth and limited broadcast hours (9 am - 1 pm). However, it went off the air again on June 8, 2007. Its format was carried over to DZEC 1062.
