DZRJ-FM, branded as 100.3 RJFM, is a radio station broadcasting oldies and classic hits format. It is owned by Rajah Broadcasting Network, Inc. The station's studio is located at 7849 General Luna St. corner Makati Ave. in Makati City, while the transmitter is located in Brgy. San Roque, Antipolo City. The 25,000 watt signal reaches all of Metro Manila and the surrounding provinces.

It is also heard nationwide via satellite over RJFM's provincial stations, each with its own frequency, except in Cebu and Davao, where it also airs on the same frequency as the Manila station. The station plays 1960s to 1990s music (Classic Hits), as well as the hits of 2000's from Monday to Saturday & 1950s to 1960s music (Oldies) every Sunday. It is also the most successful radio station whose regular playlist is defined not by genre, but by sound, following the greatest and the latest format. It operates daily 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except during Holy Week when it is off-air from midnight of Good Friday until 5:00 AM of Easter Sunday).

It was once DZUW-AM broadcasting on 1310 kHz originally owned by Republic Broadcasting System (now GMA Network, Inc.) but was moved to FM in 1973 on 100.3 MHz before it changed its callsign to DWNK-FM and it was reformatted as 100.3 Wink FM during the Martial Law years. Wink FM was manned by all-female DJ's, decades before ABS-CBN's 101.9 Radio Romance (now MOR 101.9 For Life!) came to existence.

Around Mid-1986, during the Philippines' historic People Power Revolution, after DZRJ-AM reformatted as Radyo Bandido with a news, talk & public service format, 100.3 Wink FM was sold to Rajah Broadcasting Network and changed its callsign to DZRJ and it was reformatted as Boss Radio DZRJ 100.3, broadcasting rock-and-roll format, which was similar to the former format where DZRJ-AM essentially left off. In 1998, RJ FM officially launched its nationwide satellite broadcasting, a first in the history of the conpany to achieve this milestone.
