History

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

First United Broadcasting Corporation was founded byMa. Clara "Caling" L. Lobregat, Zamboanga City's first ever female city mayor, and Basilio "Bong" Apolinario II. It brought toZamboanga City its first FM station and its first color television station in 1977. The television station, DXLA 9Alive, was characterized by 9 "lovely" ladies. This network has produced several media personalities such as Cathy Veloso Santillan (one of the original 9Alive Girls who became a broadcaster andNewsWatch anchor ofRPN-9 in the early 1990s), Zamboanga City District II CongressmanErico Basilio "Erbie" Fabian and ABS-CBN Correspondent for Western Mindanao and former anchor Pal Marquez, all of whom began their careers as part of the channel's news division.

Later years

[edit]

In 1995, its original TV station, VHF channel 9 in Zamboanga city was sold to GMA. Its FM station, DXLA-FM 99.5 MHz, and AM station, DXRH-AM 1080 kHz have moved to Basilan/ARMM. However, its present goal seems to reinvent itself in the UHF spectrum nationwide.

FUBC has reinvented its image and now operates one of the Philippines' Direct-To-Home (DTH) Satellite Networks calledG Sat and one of the Philippines' all news channel in cable and now in terrestrial networks called Global News Network, which is currently known asOne Media Network.

In 2003, a group of broadcast investors led by Global Destiny Cable (nowDestiny Cable) then-executive Philip J. Chien acquired the franchise, ownership and management of FUBC.

In 2014, it partnered with Newtec to launch a broadband service called iGSat Satellite Broadband.[4]

In 2018, FUBC merged with Global Broadcasting and Multimedia Inc. into a single entity and changed its name toGlobal Satellite Technology Services Inc.

On July 30, 2020,Philippine PresidentRodrigo Duterte signed Republic Act No. 11481 which renewed GSTS's license for another 25 years. The law granted GSTS a franchise to construct, install, operate, and maintain, for commercial purposes, radio broadcasting stations and television stations, including digital television system, with the corresponding facilities such as relay stations, throughout the Philippines.[5]

On June 23, 2021, GSTS inaugurated its own Technical facilities and Earth station at the new First Global Technopark complex in Mabuhay,Carmona, Cavite.[6][7]

In August 2023, Y2H Broadcasting Network Inc., a subsidiary of Yes2Health Inc. took over broadcast operations of GSTS-owned DXLA 99.5 FM in Zamboanga and began its test broadcast as99.5 XFM Zamboanga. on November 12 of the same year, XFM Zamboanga was officially launched with a motorcade and the station held a grand opening of its studios and offices along Marquez Drive corner Estrada Street, Zamboanga City.[8] On June 29, 2024, a large explosion occurred in Marquez Drive, where XFM studios are based. Reports indicate that there are 5 people dead, and 21 more injured in the forementioned incident, as well as several nearby establishments and houses are also damaged. XFM Zamboanga took off-the-air for the time being for technical adjustments and the safety of its personnel.[9][10][11]
