[edit] About NDBC

In 1985, the Oblates acquired DXMS from the Archdiocese of Cotabato giving way to what is known as the Notre Dame Broadcasting Corporation’s competitive strength: regional networking. The radio stations DXMS, DXND and DXDM institutionalized simulcasting hook-ups and sharing resources. The NDBC also multiplied its influence and presence by entering into tie-ups with other stations in two other cities.

As NDBC grew, so did the audience's demand to offer more to them. The Oblates became aware that the FM programs are also good vehicles to put the Good News across. Thus in 1987, DXOL-FM was born in Cotabato City. This station has been consistently topping broadcast industry surveys in Cotabato City. The importance of putting up a youth-oriented FM station was also seen. Hence in 1993, the Oblates are now able to bring back through the NDBC their service to the then empire province of Cotabato (now composed of five provinces).


Efforts in recent years have been directed to the improvement in systems, quality of audio and adjustments in programming. NDBC's highly advanced communication equipment contributes to its present stature - able to do a quality simulcast for its three stations. Its facilities coupled with radio equipment loaded in mobile vans and hand-held radios facilitate efficient coverages even in remote areas.
