Amid the Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) last November 8, 2013, the station simulcasted the radio programs of DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 via satellite from Manila to provide news updates and public service for the survivors of the calamity since many homes in Leyte have no electricity brought about by the typhoon. Since then, it aired a simulcast of TV Patrol Eastern Visayas.
