The modern DWWW started as DZBM 740 kHz in 1963 under the Mareco Broadcasting Network, Inc. This served as the promotional radio station for Villar Records and Mabuhay Records. It also has its sister station, DZLM/DWOO 1430 kHz. In 1979, it later changed its frequency to 774 kHz in response to the adoption of the 9 kHz spacing on AM radio stations in the Philippines. It also changed its format to news & talk. In 1994, It changed its callsign to DWAT and served as the first station of veteran broadcasters, Fernan Gulapa, Willie Delgado, and the son of the late Louie Beltran, Cito Beltran. It was the home of CNN on AM radio in the Philippines, aside from Citylite 88.3 (now Jam 88.3) and 105.1 Crossover.
In 1997, Roberto Bacsal and Rene Palma under Interactive Broadcast Media, Inc. bought the MBNI's flagship AM station and revived it as DWWW under 774 kHz. Its studios were moved to #23 E. Rodriguez Sr. Ave, Quezon City. The station plays a variety of music from the 50s to 80s, taking it to the #4 spot in the Mega Manila AM ratings and carved a strong niche against rival stations.
Under the new management, DWWW was relaunched on November 2, 2011 in its new home in Atlanta Center, Greenhills, San Juan and expanded its broadcast hours to 24/7 on-air broadcast. The nomenclature of the station's identification has also changed from "Siete siete cuatro/siyete siyete kwatro" to "Seven seven four."
