89 DMZ Danze Muzic Zone (formerly under DZMZ 89.1 MHz Metro Manila) was a music FM station from November 1988 until November 2000 and it was owned and operated by Intercontinental Broadcasting Corporation in the Philippines. Its studios were located at Broadcast City, Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City, with its transmitter located along Roosevelt Avenue, San Francisco del Monte, Quezon City.

History

Known as DWKB-FM (KB 89.1), the station first aired in 1975 and in a short time, became one of the country's most listened to easy listening FM music stations.

As 89 DMZ

The station later rebranded as 89 DMZ, which played dance, hip hop and remixed music. The late rapper, Francis Magalona, worked with the station through his program, "The Word-up Show", which aired on Saturday nights. It also became the home of the "Mobile Circuit".

The End of 89 DMZ

In 2001, IBC and Blockbuster Broadcasting System went into a government-sponsored bidding and Blockbuster Broadcasting System won the frequency rights as Wave 891 (callsign then changed to DWAV). However, the network still shares its transmission facilities of IBC 13 to this day.

The Return of 89 DMZ

As of July 1, 2011 89 DMZ made a comeback as an online radio station, through live streaming by iDMZ Test Broadcasting (www.89dmz.com).
