DZSR (918 AM), known as Sports Radio 918, is an AM radio station owned and operated by the Philippine Broadcasting Service-Bureau of Broadcast Services (PBS-BBS), an attached agency under the Presidential Communications Operations Office based in the Philippines. Credited as the first and the only sports radio station in the Philippines and the Southeast Asia, Sports Radio 918 broadcast sports programs that catered to sports aficionados and fans in the country, as well as covering significant sports events in the country, as well outside the Philippines.
The station's studio is located at 4th Floor, Media Center, Visayas Avenue, Barangay Vasra, Diliman, Quezon City, and the transmitter is located at Malolos City, Bulacan. DZSR operates daily from 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 AM (Mondays To Sundays).
DZSR was formerly known as DPI Radyo Maynila during martial law. On May 10, 1986, Sports Radio was established under the leadership of former actor Jose Mari Gonzales who took over as the Interim Director of the Bureau of Broadcast Services (former name of PBS). Gonzales ordered that all BBS radio station will give their respective identites. DZFM was converted at that time as a news and information station covering sports developments in the country.
Before DZFM was rebranded as Sports Radio, it was then-known as Radio Sports which is just a segment of the government radio station DZFM. Reynaldo "Dado" Roa was the first station manager, and at the time, the first staff of DZFM was composed of sports writers and reporters from the Radio Sports department and radio newscasters of the said station. DZFM, later renamed their call letters to DZSR on 738 kHz, however the station's callsign was reverted to DZFM as a courtesy to the original owner of the frequency, Frederick Marquardt, an American national who donated the 738 kHz frequency to the Philippine government.
