The station's studios and offices are Located at the 4th Floor,PIA/Media Center Building, Visayas Avenue, Barangay Vasra,Diliman,Quezon City, and its transmitter at Barangay Marulas,Valenzuela.
The station was launched in 1987 asRadyo Maynila (the brand was previously used at 918 kHz during theMarcos regime prior toPeople Power Revolution) under the helm of former actor and BBS-PBS interim directorJose Mari Gonzales. Gonzales ordered that all BBS radio station will give their respective identities including Radyo ng Bayan (918 kHz), Sports Radio (738 kHz) and DZRP-Radyo Pagasa.[citation needed]
In the late-1990s/early 2000s, the station was reformatted as PBS's general information radio station under the nameRadyo Magasin. It held a cultural-oriented format. It primarily focused on news, current events, and Philippine culture. Its broadcasting format was akin to the format of a printed magazine, thus its name.[1]
From 2007 and 2009, DZRM was home of Spanish cultural magazine show,Filipinas, Ahora Mismo.[2]
On September 17, 2017, Radyo Magasin went off the air. Its programming merged with DZSR's programming onRadyo Pilipinas Dos, which was launched the next day.[3] The defunct station's audio streaming space, meanwhile, was then converted to DWFO's audio portal on November 1 after it started a series of tests broadcasts.
On October 5, 2020, DZRM returned on air, still carrying its old branding name. The following week, it began simulcastingDepEd TV programming as part of the country'sdistance learning initiative amid theCOVID-19 pandemic until June 2022.[4] Since its initial return to operations in October 2020, the station airs from Monday to Saturday from 6:00am to 8:00pm, with few programs and music automation for the rest of the schedule.
On April 10, 2023, the station was officially rebranded asRadyo Pilipinas 3 orRP3 Alert, serving as the radio station for emergency and disaster preparedness and information dissemination. In line with the rebranding, the station was set on test broadcast and officiated around May 3, 2023. Most of its programs were also simulcasted from its sister stationsRP1 andRP2.
Between December 30, 2024 and January 3, 2025, the official Facebook page of the station started posting teasers for its upcoming rebranding back to Radyo Magasin, branding itself as a "general information station."[5] The rebrand comes with minor schedule changes and new programs. This follows the main Radyo Pilipinas network's rebranding of its sub-brand as Radyo Pilipinas - Radyo Publiko on January 1, 2025. The rebranding took effect on January 6, 2025.
