DYCM
radio station in Cebu City, Philippines
DYCM (1152 AM) is a radio station owned and operated by Makati Broadcasting Company. Its main studio is located at Room 201, 2/F Dona Luisa Bldg., Fuente Osmena, Cebu City, and its transmitter is located in Brgy. Tayud, Consolacion.
History
DYCM was founded in 1989 under the ownership of Masbate Community Broadcasting Corporation. It was formerly located at Brgy. Taytayan, Bogo, Cebu. It initially bagged the names "Kaabag sa Banikanhon Kaugmaran", "Kaabag sa Serbisyo" and "Bag-ong Adlaw - Cebu Del Norte".
In early 2014, it went off the air and its ownership was transferred to Makati Broadcasting Company, a media outlet owned by former Bogo Mayor Celestino Martinez. DYCM was relaunched on July 8, 2014, this time in Cebu City, along with the launch of its relay station in its old location.
In February 2026, DYCM formed a joint-venture agreement with DotTV, an upstart digital media group led by its chairman/CEO and former news anchor Niño Padilla, dubbed as DYCM.tv.

Why this record matters
“DYCM” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, DYCM, radio and station provides the most credible route into that argument.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5206800. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1152, 1989, 2014 and 2026.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
