DZIQ (990 kHz AM), branded as Radyo INQUIRER (INQUIRER Radio), is a news/talk radio station serving the Mega Manila market. The station is owned by Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corporation, a subsidiary of the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Group of Companies in the Philippines. The station's studio are located at the 2nd floor, Media Resources Plaza Building, Mola cor. Pasong Tirad sts., Brgy. La Paz, Makati City, while its 50,000 watt transmitter is located at Brgy. Panghulo, Obando, Bulacan. The station has 20 hours of programming from 4:00 AM to 12:00 midnight (except during Holy Week of each year from Maundy Thursday to Black Saturday).
Currently, DZIQ ranked #4 in news and talk stations and #7 overall AM station in Metro Manila in the Dec. 2015 survey conducted by the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas and Kantar Media.
INQUIRER 990 Television is a "teleradyo"-formatted news channel, which serves as the television counterpart of DZIQ. It is the fourth station to simulcast its radio stream to television, after DZMM (for DZMM TeleRadyo), DZRH (for DZRH News Television) and DZRJ/8TriMedia (for 8TriTV).
After the test broadcast on election day over the internet, May 10, 2010, The Inquirer Group acquired the block time of DWRT-AM 990 kHz and changed its call sign to DZIQ, branded as Radyo INQUIRER. Ciro Songco was the first station manager of Radio Inquirer during the early years. The station's format and content were the same as the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper and online version. On August 16, 2010, Radyo Inquirer started transmissions on terrestrial radio by switching from an old 10,000 watt transmitter (which was used by DWRT-AM then) to its newly acquired 50,000 watt AM transmitter imported from Canada and its official launch was on September 9, 2010. As Radyo Inquirer gained listenership, the Inquirer Group subsequently purchased Trans-Radio and its stations, making it the PDI's official broadcast arm.
