DWXI (1314 kHz Metro Manila) is an AM station of Delta Broadcasting System in the Philippines. The station's studio is located at 7th Floor Queensway Commercial Tower, 118 Amorsolo Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City, while its transmitter located at Gen. Alvarez Street, Barangay San Rafael III, Noveleta, Cavite. It broadcasts Mondays to Fridays from 5:00am to 12:00mn, weekends from 5:00am to 2:00am after the playback of the Saturday Weekly Family Appointment with El Shaddai. It is also broadcasts 24 hours on special occasions especially during overnight celebrations in Christmas, New Year, Easter and Anniversary of El Shaddai.
DZSA was born in the late 1960s. Ernie Baron was part of the anchors of the fledgling station, before he returned to ABS-CBN in 1986. The station then aired an OPM format dubbed as Himpilang Sariling Atin DZSA 1230. It was then broadcasting on 1230 kHz until 1978, when it transferred to the present frequency of 1314 kHz, adopting the 9 kHz spacing for AM Broadcasting.
In 1981, at the height of his real estate business expansion around what is now Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Velarde bought DZSA from the original owners of the Delta Broadcasting System, for P2 million, because he needed the parcel of land on which it stood. Besides, the owners would not sell the land unless the radio station was included in the deal. Later, the radio station alone would cost him millions more to sustain its operations. He afterwards started operating the station following his recovery from a heart ailment to propagate the healing message from the Word of God. With this, he established his foundation of the El Shaddai Catholic Charismatic Group in 1984.
