History
1976–2006: The first 99.5 RT
Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corporation was founded in 1971 by Emilio Remedios Tuason after acquiring Transit Broadcasting Corporation, owner of 990 kHz. The station became DZTR Radyo Pilipino.
In September, 1976, Trans-Radio launched its FM station 99.5 RT, the Philippines' first Top 40 station. After a fire broke out in its first home along Quezon Avenue in Quezon City in 1978, the station relocated to Ayala Avenue in Makati.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “DWRT-FM” as radio station in Mega Manila. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the places & architecture register because the source frames it as radio station in Mega Manila. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3547865. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1976, 2006, 1971 and 1978.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
