89 DMZ Danze Muzic Zone (formerly under DZMZ 89.1 MHz Metro Manila) was a music FM station from November 1989 until November 2000 and was owned and operated by Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation in the Philippines. Its studios were located at Broadcast City, Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City, with its transmitter located along Roosevelt Avenue, San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City.
Known as DWKB-FM (KB 89.1), the station first aired in 1975 and in a short time, became one of the country's most listened to easy listening FM music stations.
The station later rebranded as 89 DMZ (it also changed its callsign to DZMZ-FM), which played dance, hip hop, (OPM and the other foreign songs), Hot AC, and remixed music. The late rapper, Francis Magalona, worked with the station through his program, "The Word-up Show", which aired on Saturday nights. It also became the home of the "Mobile Circuit".
In 2001, IBC and Blockbuster Broadcasting System went into a government-sponsored bidding and Blockbuster Broadcasting System won the frequency rights as Wave 891 (callsign then changed to DWAV). However, the network still shares its transmission facilities of IBC 13 until 2014.
Inspired by 89 Danze Muzic Zone, iDMZ Sayaw Pinoy! is an Internet radio station that was formally launched on August 28, 2011. iDMZ Sayaw Pinoy! is the first and only Filipino interactive website that offers non-stop dance music in the form of DJ mixes.
