TeleRadyo Serbisyo (lit. 'teleradio service', previously known as DZMM TeleRadyo and as TeleRadyo / ABS-CBN TeleRadyo) is a Philippine pay television channel owned by Media Serbisyo Production Corporation, a joint venture between Prime Media Holdings (through subsidiary Philippine Collective Media Corporation) and ABS-CBN Corporation, with ABS-CBN News as its main content provider, and is available on cable providers throughout the Philippines. TeleRadyo Serbisyo is also simulcasted via The Filipino Channel (TFC) and it can be heard and viewed online via its YouTube channel and iWantTFC. TeleRadyo was also included as a digital subchannel on digital terrestrial television seen via the ABS-CBN TVplus digital TV receivers and other digital TV boxes, until its discontinuation on November 1, 2022. However, on May 27, 2024, the channel resumed its digital free-to-air broadcast via Prime TV's feed. The channel was previously used to simulcast the programs of ABS-CBN's flagship AM radio station, DZMM 630 before the latter went off the air on May 5, 2020 due to a cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission together with ABS-CBN, S+A, and MOR Philippines. [1] The channel went back on-air and online on May 8, 2020 as TeleRadyo, resuming the programming of the former DZMM. On June 28, 2021, TeleRadyo started to broadcast in high-definition feed on YouTube and Facebook while selected shows are being broadcast on Kapamilya Channel and The Filipino Channel in HD. [2] The channel rebranded to TeleRadyo Serbisyo on June 30, 2023 coinciding with the launch of its radio counterpart Radyo 630 under the joint venture of Prime Media and ABS-CBN.
An international feed called TeleRadyo Serbisyo Global is also available worldwide as part of TFC premium channels via cable, satellite, iWantTFC and TFC IPTV.
DZMM TeleRadyo featured a simulcast of DZMM's radio programs as well as a live video feed of the radio booth itself. As a result, viewers can hear DZMM 630, and see the people currently in the studio speaking on air, or in the case of special live occasions, live video footage simulcasted on the radio station can be also seen with clearer audio provided from the feed. [3] Radio shows that have music aired on this station was supplemented with pictures of artists (during Yesterday ) or random pictures instead of the studio scenes on selected programs. Moonlight Serenade was also a music program, however, it only shows random pictures instead of the artist's pictures while the song is playing. Content during commercial breaks was separated from advertisements in the radio feed which currently shows promotions for TeleRadyo and other ABS-CBN channels and becomes full-screen on datascreen, or disappeared on full-screen graphical format during non-produced advertisements. The channel, however, simulcasts the Three O' Clock prayer and the station ID, as well as the station's sign-on and sign-off messages depending on the broadcast content.
In some cases when the radio feed will air programming only dedicated to theirs like the UAAP men's basketball Finals coverage from 2013 to 2014 and during the PiliPinas Debates 2016 (presidential debates in Cagayan de Oro (GMA) and Cebu (TV5), and the vice-presidential debate, aired on CNN Philippines (now RPTV)), regular-scheduled programming will continue for TeleRadyo viewers until the coverage for radio ends.
The timing with TeleRadyo and the radio feed can depend on the factors. The TeleRadyo can be delayed at seven seconds in Metro Manila if the radio feed is heard using the 630 frequency via AM radio, while it would be more advanced by 3 seconds or more when the radio feed is heard via online streaming.
From June 19, 2017 to March 18, 2020, DZMM set-up an additional studio set for its radio programs such as Sakto, Good Vibes, Todo-Todo Walang Preno and On The Spot as part of the station's plans to convert into a full-fledged news channel in the future. From October 26, 2020 to June 29, 2023, Sakto was the last program to use this studio. On the latter date, many programs used this studio to coincide with the final broadcast of the ABS-CBN-owned TeleRadyo after 6 years of use.
As of March 18, 2020, DZMM 630 and TeleRadyo began to share channel space with its sister English-language news network ABS-CBN News Channel as part of larger ABS-CBN News coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays; with ANC's relay of DZMM programs on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This arrangement ended on April 20, however, ANC's hook-up on TeleRadyo continues during overnight graveyard slot.
On June 26, 2021, TeleRadyo unveiled new lower-third graphics as the channel migrated to high-definition television broadcast online. However, the channel feed still used a 4:3 aspect ratio, but is stretched in an anamorphic vision format. [4]
Due to skeletal workforce imposed by the network due to the COVID-19 pandemic, DZMM TeleRadyo and Radyo Patrol 630 began to simulcast ANC newscasts and programs on some days and vice versa on other days for the coverage from March 19, 2020. However, the simulcast for the radio counterpart would break-away with a simulcast of MOR 101.9 on 10:00 pm until 4:30 am, temporarily replacing Showbuzz, Dr. Love Radio Show, Moonlight Serenade and Gising Pilipinas. On April 1, given the decision to vacate the studios for the self-quarantine of many of the staff and the disinfection measures after being exposed to two PUIs, the channel provisionally broadcast ANC programming round the clock (with a 10pm breakaway for radio as it had been the case). Regular broadcasts resumed a day later on April 2.
On May 5, 2020, DZMM TeleRadyo rebranded simply as TeleRadyo after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued a cease-and-desist order against its radio counterpart and other ABS-CBN free TV and radio stations nationwide. [1] The last program to air on May 5 was S.R.O. , which was supposed to air until 11:00 pm (PST) but ended broadcasts at 8:20 pm instead. Most DZMM TeleRadyo programming resumed on May 8 at 5:00 am (PST) where the old DZMM TeleRadyo logo appeared as a secondary logo (and as a bumper logo) beginning midday, with the TeleRadyo logo being primary.
On May 10, 2020, its refurbished logo and bumper began to be used full-time replacing the old logos and bumper.
On May 15, 2020, ANC stopped its simulcast with TeleRadyo and it was replaced by the replay episodes of Todo-Todo Walang Preno (from 11:00 pm to 12:00 mn), Good Vibes (from 12:00 mn to 1:00 am), Failon Ngayon sa TeleRadyo (from 1:00 am to 3:00 am), and Lingkod Kapamilya (from 3:00 am to 5:30 am). The said channel's simulcast resumed on August 23, 2021 until June 29, 2023.
On May 16 to 17, 2020, TV Patrol Weekend (from 10:00 pm to 11:00 pm), Usapang Kalye (from 11:00 pm to 12:00 mn), Lima at Logan: Tandem (from 12:00 mn to 1:00 am), Konsyumer Atbp. (from 1:00 am to 2:30 am), Omaga-Diaz Report (from 2:30 am to 3:30 am), Good Job (from 3:30 am to 5:00 am) and Kape at Salita (from 5:00 am to 6:00 am), started replaying episodes on TeleRadyo as well.
On May 27, 2020, the channel's primary bumper was updated.
On May 27, 2022, TeleRadyo returned on digital free TV via ZOE TV's digital channel space, coinciding with the second year anniversary of the rebrand, albeit its broadcast hours are from 5:30 am to 10:00 pm on Weekdays and 6:00 am to 10:00 pm on Weekends (PST), due to their subchannel rental agreement with ZOE Broadcasting Network with its official launch on June 1, 2022. TeleRadyo's 24-hour broadcast still remains on cable, satellite, iWantTFC, TFC, and TFC IPTV (while airing their 2006 version of the Philippine National Anthem every Monday mornings at 5:30 am (PST)). [5]
After 5 months, TeleRadyo was pulled out on digital free TV for the second time on November 1, 2022, after ABS-CBN and ZOE decided not to renew their licensing contract for the airing of the channel as one of A2Z's digital subchannels. It was subsequently replaced by Light TV. [6]
On May 23, 2023, ABS-CBN Corporation announced that TeleRadyo would cease its operations effective June 30 of the same year, in order to cut further financial losses caused by the loss of the company's broadcast franchise. [7] 70 employees of TeleRadyo would be laid off ABS-CBN by June 29, a day before the final broadcast of TeleRadyo's live programs. [8]
In addition, ABS-CBN entered into a joint venture agreement with Prime Media Holdings, Inc., owned by House Speaker and Leyte First district Representative Martin Romualdez to produce and supply various programs including news content to broadcasters and third-party entities including the PMHI-owned Philippine Collective Media Corporation, operator of the Favorite Music Radio FM radio network. ABS-CBN would hold a minority stake in the new venture. [9] Among the plans for ABS-CBN and Prime Media's joint venture is the possible revival of DZMM on its original frequency of 630 KHz. [10] [11] [12]
A few days prior to its supposed closure of the channel, however, ABS-CBN decided not to push through with the planned date and instead will continue to broadcast under the new management led by the Prime Media/ABS-CBN joint venture, coinciding with the resumption of broadcasts on 630 KHz as DWPM. [13] ABS-CBN-owned TeleRadyo signed off for the last time on June 29, 2023, and was relaunched as TeleRadyo Serbisyo the following day, in conjunction with the launch of DWPM Radyo 630 (both are now under joint-venture of Prime Media and ABS-CBN). A day prior to the launch, hosts of several TeleRadyo programs has informed their viewers to tune-in to the new station the next day. [14]
