The UNTV Broadcast Center is a mixed-use skyscraper and broadcast facility, currently under construction, located along Epifanio delos Santos Avenue in Quezon City. It will serve as the new headquarters of UNTV-37, also known as UNTV News and Rescue/Public Service, a local public service UHF television channel. It will also house Radyo La Verdad 1350 kHz and Wish 1075.
The building is owned by Breakthrough and Milestones Productions International, the exclusive blocktimer and operator of UNTV (DWAO-TV), a broadcast station owned by the Progressive Broadcasting Corporation.
It is also located near the UNTV Building, the station's headquarters since July 2008. The 16-storey building with three discs on top will be built on a 1,428 square metres (15,370 sq ft) lot formerly occupied by the Transient Home of Kamanggagawa Foundation Inc. (KFI), a charitable institution run by the Members Church of God International, a Christian religious organization and UNTV's long-time partner.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the UNTV Broadcast Center was held in June 26, 2014. It was aired live in UNTV's morning shows Good Morning Kuya and Get It Straight with Daniel Razon. The event is part of the station's 10th anniversary celebration with the theme "UNTV Big 10: Bigger. Better. Broader." headed by UNTV-BMPI Chairman and CEO Daniel Razon. Guest speakers during the event were Architect Jose Pedro "Bong" Recio of Rchitects Inc. and Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista. Also present during the event were UNTV-PBC President Alfredo "Atom" Henares and UNTV Chairman Emeritus Hilarion "Larry" Henares.
