Comebacking DYBQ now on test broadcast

DYBQ Radyo Budyong of the Intercontinental Broadcasting Corp. (IBC) is now having a test broadcast as it gears to return on the air before the elections. Heard on 981 kHz DYBQ has gone off the air for more than three years due to financial difficulties. DYBQ, DYJJ in Roxas City and DYRG in Kalibo, Aklan are the remaining radio stations of IBC, a government-owned and controlled corporation. It also operates IBC TV-12 in Iloilo but the once powerful TV station now has a very poor signal.

DYBQ Radyo Budyong was a household name before the 1986 EDSA people power revolution. Manned by popular radio commentators and news reporters, it was then a top competitor of DYFM Bombo Radyo and DYRI Radyo Agong.

Veteran broadcaster Cora Paniergo-Robles leads the revival of DYBQ Radyo Budyong.
