Rajah Broadcasting Network, Inc. (which stands for RAmon JAcinto Holdings) is a Philippine television and radio network owned by guitarist-singer-businessman Ramon "RJ" Jacinto. The network's studio headquarters is located at Ventures I Building, Makati Avenue cor. General Luna Street, Makati, Metro Manila.
The RJ Group was founded by Ramon “RJ” Jacinto. His grandfather, Dr. Nicanor Jacinto, founded the Philippine Bank of Commerce, which was the first Filipino-owned private bank, and RJ's father, Don Fernando P. Jacinto founded the steel industry in the country—Jacinto Steel and Iligan Integrated Steel Mills, which are now known as National Steel.
At the age of 15, RJ Enterprises pioneered in multi-track recording in the Philippines, utilizing the first three multi-track Ampex in Southeast Asia.
After the EDSA People Power Revolution on February 25, 1986, RJ came home from exile on March 5, 1986, and the new democratic regime returned the family properties and his radio stations. Those assets were seized and operated by the military for 14.5 years.
RJ's radio station, DZRJ, became the voice of the democratic revolution, known as Radyo Bandido, and was the recipient of freedom awards after that.
RJ immediately expanded his radio stations and started many businesses after that, making up for lost time.
Today, the RJ Group is composed of broadcasting, entertainment, and music store enterprises.
This includes a nationwide network of 11 total FM and AM radio stations and a TV station, RJ DigiTV, which is carried nationwide by the cable networks, and in Metro Manila via Digital Terrestrial Television. The RJ broadcasting group is known to be the prime movers of locally produced music, discovering many talents from the 60s on, who have become name-brand entertainers in the Philippine music scene.
RJ FM 100.3, the flagship radio station of the group, plays the greatest and the latest hits from five decades, packaging it as three songs in a row. Following the same format, it is the most successful radio station whose musical playlist is defined not by genre, but by sound. Its programming format has been popularly lauded as a groundbreaking formula and is streamed 24 hours a day via Facebook, on the web and through the radio. Its primary markets are the movers and shakers, decision makers, and upwardly mobile youth. RJ FM DJs, namely Steve O’Neal and Renen de Guia, owner of Ovation Productions, have become major producers and promoters of the biggest and hottest concerts in the Philippines.
On October 9, 2018, in accordance with current constitutional rules, it was granted a 25-year legislative franchise under Republic Act No. 8104 that was approved by the House of Representatives and by the Senate. [1] On August 31, 2019, Rajah Broadcasting Network, Inc.'s franchise to construct, install, operate and maintain commercial radio and TV broadcasting stations was renewed by virtue of Republic Act No. 11414 signed by President Rodrigo Duterte.

RJTV's upcoming expansion of digital terrestrial television will be announced soon as possible in other key regional areas nationwide.
