DYWC 801 - AM
RADYO BANDILYO
YOUR VOICE, YOUR RADIO
Dumaguete City
DYWC-AM, founded by the Franciscans in Guihulngan, Negros Oriental in 1965, champions the voice of the Catholic Church in the Visayas. A powerful sound in its broadcast area. It is heard not for its power but for its message.
For three decades and seven years DYWC withstood the vicissitudes of time: political upheavals, economic and financial crises, administrative drawbacks, etc. In 1972 and the two years following in the imposition of martial law, DYWC was silenced by the old regime for being too radical in its agenda for political reform. For the people of DYWC only the truth will make the country free.
DYWC was formally put back on the air in 1978, and in 1980 the station moved its broadcast outfit to Sibulan, Negros Oriental, under the management of the Diocese of Dumaguete through Bishop Epifanio B. Surban. Maintaining its original mission as the voice of the Catholic Church, DYWC came closer to the expanding communities in Dumaguete City, the home of radio broadcasting in Negros Oriental. More than ever, DYWC could broadcast well and respond better to the needs of its grassroots audience.
Management, programming and equipment are the three major areas of operation that DYWC has to contend with. MANAGEMENT takes to its heart the people who are the station’s broadcast life. People alive means a living voice in the airlanes.

For which reason programmers, reporters and talents are taken among this class of listeners. They speak the language, express the images and symbols, capture the ways and behavior, or call it the ethnicity of its serviced constituents.
