DZME (1530 kHz Metro Manila) is the flagship AM station owned by Capitol Broadcasting Center in the Philippines. The station's studio is located at Unit 1802, 18/F, OMM-Citra Building, # 39 San Miguel Avenue, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, and its transmitter is located at # 78 Kalye Plamingco, Brgy. Panghulo, Obando, Bulacan.
DZME started its broadcast on June 15, 1968 when the Congress authorized Capitol Broadcasting Center of Jose M. Luison and Sons, Inc. to operate an AM radio station nationwide. However, in 1987, the then former president Corazon Aquino shut down DZME for airing commentaries and news items that were critical of the then Aquino Administration due to the series of coup attempts by the rebel soldiers. In 1996, a new group of investors including incumbent Surigao del Sur Congressman Prospero Pichay took over and revived the station.
In 2009, DZME transferred to its new home at the Victory Central Mall in Monumento, Caloocan City from its long-time former studios in Roosevelt Avenue, Quezon City as part of its plan to expand operations. Regional affiliates are likewise being developed to bolster its nationwide presence.
Last November 14, 2013 to January 2014, some of the programs of DZME (except for news casts) were temporarily postponed and replaced by music fillers due to technical maintenance/upgrades of the station & the transfer of the studios from Victory Central Mall in Monumento, Caloocan to OMM-Citra Building in Ortigas Center, Pasig City, in preparation of the station's major relaunch as well as launching of new programs. After Holy Week of 2015, the Radyo Uno brand (which was in use since 2004) was phased out and rebranded as DZME Kinse Trenta (1530 AM). During the last quarter of 2016, DZME reverted back to its all news and commentary station with the launch of new programming.
