Progressive Broadcasting Corporation, is a Philippine radio and television network, with main broadcast facilities in Metro Manila.

Its main station is UNTV Channel 37 in Metro Manila. It also operates a radio station, NU 107, in Metro Manila.

History

In 1987, an unknown radio station started broadcasting at the frequency of 107.5 on the FM band. Playing what was then known as New Wave, the station aired for a month, no call letters, no jocks. When they finally announced "This is dwNU, if you're listening, please call..." After mentioning the phone number on air, the phone rang constantly for three hours.

DWNU 107.5 FM was the brainchild of banker/businessman Atom Henares, and radio veteran Mike Pedero. Born out of the need to come up with a product that would set the standard for good taste in music amongst the youths, NU 107 blasted the airwaves with rock, music that is "dynamic, young, passionate, creative, and always ready to renew itself."

In May 2002, PBC ventured to UHF television through UN Television 37.
