History

[edit]

DZGB traces its roots to Bicol Wire Broadcasting Station (BWBS), which was established in 1958 as a pioneer radio station in Legazpi. It earned the name Radyo Balagon as it used cable wires for their broadcasts—the only station in the area to do so. Its initial programming consisted mostly of entertainment shows and radio drama with vernacular scripts.[4]

BWBS' successor, DZGB, was later established yet as a separate commercial station,[5] which would switch to the aircast style to cope with the competition during the years prior to the 1972 declaration of the nationwide martial law.[4] Thereafter, the station was among the three in the city which were able to operate; as BWBS had been off the air.[6]
