Broadcasting history

DYEZ was established in 1969 in the administrative building of the then Elizalde-owned Central Azucarera De La Carlota in La Carlota. It initially carried the call sign of DYEN. The station hosted some of the pioneer broadcasters in the province. [3]

In 1972, it was among the stations that closed down upon the declaration of Martial Law. Several years later, it resumed operations as DYEZ and became the dominant news and music station. This was known at that time as DYEZ Sunshine City, the localized version of Manila's DWIZ (now owned by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation) used at that time as Sunshine City.

By the 1980s, DYEZ shifted its programming to full-time news and public affairs. In 1991, following the end of DWIZ and Sunshine City branding, it changed their name to Radyo Balita. In 1994, it renamed once more to Radyo Owang along with Ilo-ilo station.

By 1999, with the launch of Aksyon Radyo Davao, DYEZ utilized the current branding called Aksyon Radyo.

In 2009, Aksyon Radyo Bacolod celebrated its 40th Anniversary.

In 2011, Aksyon Radyo Bacolod celebrated its 42nd Anniversary by way of a free medical and dental mission which benefitted nearly 300 patients.

Recently, Aksyon Radyo Bacolod capped the year 2011 with another project by its civic arm "Operation Tulong Task Force" when it turned over to the Social Action Center of the Diocese of Bacolod more than 200 boxes of used clothes and food stuff for the victims of Tropical Storm “Sendong". [4]
