87.5 FM, broadcasting as FM1, is an upcoming radio station in the Metro Manila area, owned and operated by the government of the Philippines through the Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS) under the Presidential Communications Group. FM1 will reportedly share studios with DWBR at the 4th Floor, Philippine Information Agency Building, Visayas Avenue, Quezon City; although there's no official word on where its main transmitter will be constructed.

The station is expected to launch by 2017.

History

Prior to the PBS's acquisition, the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) asked the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) to reserve the said frequency for local campuses (including Angelicum College, where they own the said frequency under the call letters DWAC-FM) due to multiple reports that some others will use the latter frequency for commercial purposes.^[2] Also, a few religious and community groups operated the frequency with a low-signal enough to cover its main target area.

In an official statement by Presidential Communications Office (PCO) Secretary Martin Andanar, the PBS acquired the 87.5 MHz frequency and was later approved by the NTC.^[1]^[3]^[4]

It covers analog NTSC-M TV frequency channel 6 (83.25 MHz to 87.75 MHz).
