Founded August 20, 1981 (1981-08-20) Founder Mike Velarde Key people Bro. Mike Velarde (Chairman) Mariano Michael Velarde Jr. (General Manager) Owner El Shaddai Website www.deltabroadcastingsystem.com **Delta Broadcasting System, Inc. (DBS)** is a media company owned by [El Shaddai](/source/El_Shaddai_(movement)) leader [Bro. Mike Velarde](/source/Mike_Velarde). Its studios and offices at the Queensway Commercial Center Building, 118 Amorsolo Street, Legaspi Village, Makati. It registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 1992. It operates [DWXI 1314 kHz AM](/source/DWXI-AM), an AM radio station which is started in 1981, and [DBS TV Channel 35](/source/DWDE-TV), a UHF television station. ## History In 1981, at the height of Mike Velarde's real estate business expansion around what is now [Ninoy Aquino International Airport](/source/Ninoy_Aquino_International_Airport), Bro. Mike bought the [DZSA 1314](/source/DWXI-AM), an AM Radio Station from its owner-operators for ₱ 2 million, because he needed the parcel of land on which it stood. Besides, the owners would not sell the land unless the radio station was included in the deal. Later, the radio station alone would cost him millions more to sustain its operations.[1] In 1995, [DBS TV](/source/DWDE-TV) was launched on [VHF Channel 11](/source/DZOE-TV), featuring religious programs, including El Shaddai. In 1998, [ZOE Broadcasting Network](/source/ZOE_Broadcasting_Network), led by [Jesus is Lord](/source/Jesus_is_Lord) leader [Eddie Villanueva](/source/Eddie_Villanueva), acquired Channel 11, prompting DBS TV to relocate to UHF Channel 35. Around 2004, it ceased broadcasting due to low ratings and financial constraints, though its radio broadcasts continued on [DWXI-AM](/source/DWXI-AM). On September 15, 2012, during the Weekly Family Appointment with El Shaddai at Amvel City, Bro. Mike announced that DBS had secured TV equipment for its revival. On July 14, 2016, DBS TV-35 resumed operations on a test broadcast, though with a weak signal, primarily reaching viewers in Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, and southern Metro Manila by airing past Family Appointment with El Shaddai episodes. On December 4, 2016, during the 28th anniversary of El Shaddai DWXI PPFI Hong Kong Chapter, Bro. Mike stated that the station was expected to fully return in January 2017, but plans were halted due to insufficient studio and transmitter facilities. On April 30, 2019, during the Tuesday Family Appointment with El Shaddai, Bro. Mike announced that the channel would transition to full digital terrestrial television (DTT), following the approval of its franchise renewal by the Philippine Congress. Earlier, on April 17, 2019, Congress passed Republic Act No. 11303, extending Delta Broadcasting System, Inc.'s franchise for another 25 years, allowing it to continue operating radio and television stations across the Philippines. ## DBS stations ### Digital (Inactive) Branding Callsign Channel Frequency Power Location DBS TV Manila DWDE 35 599.143 MHz 1 kW Metro Manila ### Radio stations Branding Callsign Frequency Power Location DWXI DWXI 1314 kHz 50 kW Metro Manila ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Delta Broadcasting System, Inc"](http://www.deltabroadcastingsystem.com/about-dbs/). ## External links - [Official website](http://www.deltabroadcastingsystem.com/) - [Delta Broadcasting System, Inc. on Asiawaves](http://www.asiawaves.net/philippines-tv.htm#delta) - [DBS on KBP site](https://web.archive.org/web/20130702165539/http://www.kbp.org.ph/delta-broadcasting-system) - [Delta Broadcasting System Official Facebook Page](https://facebook.com/dwxi1314khz) - [Senate oks renewed franchise for Mike Velarde's network](https://www.bworldonline.com/senate-oks-renewed-franchise-for-mike-velardes-network/) v t e Radio networks in the Philippines Major ABS-CBN/MSPC DZMM Aliw DWIZ Home Radio Bombo Radyo Star FM Brigada/Baycomms Brigada News FM MBC DZRH Love Radio Easy Rock Yes FM Radyo Natin MBSI Win Radio PCMC FM Radio UNTV-BMPI Radyo La Verdad Wish 107.5 GMA Barangay LS Super Radyo RMN DZXL iFM TV5/NBC True FM UBSI Energy FM Y2H XFM Solid FM State-owned AFP Armed Forces Radio IBC Radyo Budyong, DWAN NNC Nutriskwela Community Radio PBS Radyo Pilipinas Republika ni Juan The Capital Minor AMBS All Radio ACI Monster Apollo Allied GV Radio CBC DZME CBS-DWAD DCG DCG FM Kiss FM EBC Radyo Agila Eagle FM Exodus WRocK FBS/Prage Abante Radyo DWBL Mellow IBMI DWWW PBC Palawan Radyo Bandera Quest/Tiger 22 Magic Nationwide RBN RJFM DZRJ RPN Radyo Ronda Religious Anchor Radio Philippines CEBSI INC Radio Catholic Media Network CMN Radio Radyo Totoo COP Bible Radio DBS EMBS (Life Radio) FEBC Philippines Mango Radio NDBC Radio Maria SDA Adventist World Radio Hope Radio SDV UCB Philippines/CMPI The Edge Radio ZOE Broadcasting Network DZJV Regional 5K K5 News FM ABCBS BBSI K-Lite Bohol Chronicle CBC Like Radio CCMCI Magik CLBC Pampanga COMNET DXRA-RMCBC eMedia Zamboanga FBN GLBS Negros Hypersonic Iddes KBNI KBSI Gold FM Radyo Rapido MBC Aksyon Radyo Muews Radio PBN Bicol PECBC Real Radio PFCAI Charm Radio Primax MemoRieS FM Prime FM Radyo Pilipino One FM RSV/Malindang Juander Radyo SBC Zambales TBNC Radyo BisDak UMBN DXUM Retro Wild FM Vimcontu Viva/Ultimate Halo Halo Radio VRN Big Sound FM Others Campus radio Adamson University Falcon Radio Station Ateneo de Manila University Magis Radio Radyo Katipunan Colegio de San Juan de Letran Arriba Campus Radio De La Salle University Green Giant FM DWSU Green FM DWDS Animo!
