DZMC 98.3 (98.3 MHz in Metro Manila) is an FM educational radio station owned by the College of Communication, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Manila with an ongoing NTC application for license to operate.[1] If the National Telecommunications Commission approves, it shall broadcast from the Campus Radio Station of the College of Communication Building, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Anonas Street, Sta. Mesa, Manila. It is to be used as a laboratory for the Broadcast Communication & Journalism students of the university. Its programming shall tentatively include news, sports, educational/children's programs, talk shows, commentaries, to music programs and request shows. The station plans to operate from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm, Mondays to Fridays. Broadcast-free during semestral breaks.

DZMC 98.3 was launched in September 2006 through the efforts of the Department of Broadcast Communication (DBC) Chairperson Edna T. Bernabe and Prof. Albert Torres, a voice talent from GMA Network.

During the school year 2007-2008, the radio station was on a test broadcast run by COC students.

Meanwhile, DBC is holding a summer workshop to train COC students and the faculty members who will be handling the campus radio station.

John Gemperle, also known as Papa Jack - a radio announcer from 90.7 Love Radio is presently training the students and faculty on the basics of announcing while Prof. Torres will handle radio programming.

Due to the limited capacity of its transmitting signal, DZMC will only be heard at the vicinity of the P.U.P. Main campus and its surrounding communities along Sta. Mesa, Manila. Nevertheless, there are future plans to make the station available to as many listeners as possible, and even make it commercial.
