'''Radyo Veritas''' (DZRV 846&nbsp;kHz) is a Roman Catholic [[AM broadcasting|AM]] station owned and operated by the [[Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Manila|Archdiocese of Manila]] under the Global Broadcasting System, Inc. a member of the [[Catholic Media Network]] and [[Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas]]. The studio is located at Veritas Tower, #162 West Avenue corner [[Epifanio delos Santos Avenue]], [[Quezon City]], [[Philippines]] and its transmitter is located at Bagumbayan Street, Barangay Taliptip, [[Bulacan, Bulacan|Bulacan]], [[Bulacan (province)|Bulacan]] sharing the same site of [[DZXL|DZXL RMN Manila]].

==History==
*'''April 11, 1969''' – Radyo Veritas was inaugurated with Asian bishops as guests. [[Antonio Cardinal Samore]] represented [[Pope Paul VI]]. It began broadcasting on the frequency formerly assigned to [[DZST (defunct)|DZST]] 860 kHz, another Catholic radio station formerly operated by the [[University of Santo Tomas]]. By that time, it was then owned by the Philippine Radio Educational and Information Center, Inc.
*'''November 29, 1970''' – Pope Paul VI, on his pastoral visit to the country, blessed Radyo Veritas' studios with [[President of the Philippines|President]] [[Ferdinand Marcos|Ferdinand E. Marcos]] in attendance.
*'''November 1978''' – Radyo Veritas migrated to its new frequency of 846 kHz due to the implementation of 9 kHz spacing for mediumwave stations as stipulated by the [[Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975]], superseding the 10 kHz NARBA spacing rule.
*'''August 21, 1983''' – Radyo Veritas became a byword with its coverage of events related to the [[Assassination of Benigno Aquino, Jr.|assassination]] of former Senator [[Benigno Aquino Jr.|Benigno S. Aquino Jr.]]
*'''February 22–25, 1986''' – Radyo Veritas kept local and overseas audiences informed of events related to the [[People Power Revolution]], after [[Archbishop of Manila]] [[Jaime Cardinal Sin]] called on the Filipinos to support [[Secretary of National Defense (Philippines)|Defense Minister]] [[Juan Ponce Enrile]] and [[Philippine Constabulary]] Chief Lt. General [[Fidel V. Ramos]] who had defected from the Marcos government. The three-day bloodless revolution eventually removed Marcos from power and installed [[Corazon Aquino]] as the eleventh President. Despite the blow-by-blow airing of the events during the EDSA revolt, several armed groups forced to destroy the transmitter of Radyo Veritas in Malolos, Bulacan, of which several personnel were hurt.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.veritas846.ph/about-us-2/|title=About Us|publisher=Veritas|accessdate=April 9, 2016}}</ref> By the same year, Radio Veritas awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature, and Creative Communication Arts for the station's role in delivering timely events during the 4-day revolution.
*'''May 17, 1991''' – Radyo Veritas was acquired by the Global Broadcasting System from the original owner, Radio Veritas Asia of PREIC, and at the same time, it begun its commercial operations as DZNN (known as ''Kaibigang Totoo'' (Your True Friend) and ''The Spirit of the Philippines''). DZNN also moved its studios to Makati City (later moved to Ortigas) and became home to some of the notable broadcasters such as [[Louie Beltran]], [[Ramon Tulfo]], [[Rey Langit]], [[Jay Sonza]], Orly Punzalan, Joel Reyes-Zobel and Dave Sta. Ana among others.
*'''May 27, 1992''' – the [[Congress of the Philippines|Congress]] passes Republic Act No. 7579 or "An Act Granting the Radio Veritas-Global Broadcasting System, Inc. a Franchise to Construct, Install, Operate and Maintain for Religious, Educational, Cultural and Commercial Purposes Radio and Television Broadcasting Stations in the Philippines, and for Other Purposes" was signed by President [[Corazon Aquino]].<ref>[http://laws.chanrobles.com/republicacts/76_republicacts.php?id=7583 laws.chanrobles.com/republicacts/76_republicacts.php?id=7583]</ref>
*'''January 16–20, 2001''' – DZRV-Radyo Veritas was once again involved in Philippine history when Cardinal Sin used the station to rally Filipinos to the [[EDSA Shrine]] in what became the [[Second EDSA Revolution|EDSA Revolution of 2001]]. Millions of protestors converged on the Shrine, eventually ousting President [[Joseph Estrada]] from [[Malacañan Palace|Malacañang]] and handing power to his [[Vice President of the Philippines|Vice-President]], [[Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo]].
*'''2005''' – A new management took over the operations of Radyo Veritas. That time, it launched its new logo and new programs centered on faith and religion. The longest-running station ID jingle of Radyo Veritas was retained. (with an exception of the "ZNN" part)
*'''2008''' – DZRV-Radyo Veritas established its ''Kapanalig Radio Community'' to further engage its listeners and deepen its vision and mission as the station for truth and evangelization.
*'''May 10, 2016''' – Republic Act No. 10793 allows Radio Veritas to construct, install, operate and maintain for religious, educational, cultural and commercial purposes and in the public interest, radio and TV broadcasting facilities nationwide for another 25 years was signed by President [[Benigno Aquino III|Benigno S. Aquino III]].<ref>[http://www.veritas846.ph/25-years-truth-veritas-renews-franchise-broadcast/]</ref>
