DWAM-TV

DWAM-TV, analog, digital, and virtual channel 30, is a television station licensed to Porac, Pampanga, and serves both the Pampanga and Metro Manila areas, due to its transmitter. It is owned by Trinome Media, as part of a duopoly with Manila-licensed Minecraft Television owned-and-operated television station DWIO-TV (channel 28). Both stations share studios and digital transmitting operations in the Trinome Media Building (official name; known by the name Trinome Media HQ) in Manila, while DWAM-TV has its own analog operations in Porac.
==History==
===Prior history of channel 26===
Before DWAM-TV signed on, the channel 26 allocation belonged to VGC satellite D26VC in Olongapo when it signed on in 1972. VGC signed off the satellite in 1974, after only two years due to their acquisition of DZXX-TV (channel 20; now defunct, replaced by DWFV-TV) from Metromedia.
===Manila DMA Law===
On January 22, 1997, Fidel Ramos implemented a law that a channel from another province can serve the Manila DMA alongside its local DMA if paid P100,000 pesos, to make a transmitter of it. Trinome Media went to NTC, and paid P100,000 pesos to make DWAM-TV a station to serve Manila alongside Porac.
===First two years (1998-1999)===
DWAM-TV started test broadcast by just broadcasting color bars in April 1, 1998. 37 days, later it started official broadcast and its first program is John en Marsha. Before 2001, it is situated on Channel 26. Later, it broadcasts Eat Bulaga! and Student Canteen. It also broadcasts some other shows. On June 16, 1998, it started broadcasting News-26 (now PHTV News 30), which is still broadcasting until today.
It went up the rating to No.2, behind DZCP-TV. It broadcasts more shows, such as some old news coverages. On May 7, 1999, its first anniversary's celebration is on Araneta Coliseum, and announces its new shows and others. On August 21, 1999, it started broadcasting Station ID Compilations. That show became bigger, and became No.1 at the end of the month. Starting December 31, 1999, it started new year countdowns.
On January 4, 2000, Trinome launched D86AM on channel 86, as a translator of DWAM mainly in other places of Manila. This is on SUHF because they are testing the SUHF transmitters given by the VGC for future use. It is still on operations today.
===Short Downfall (2000)===
On February 2000, DWAM-TV became no.5, due to DZCP-TV (and its Kapampangan affiliate DZMX-TV) made a new show that became bigger. On the same month, Trinome Media launched DWAM-FM, a middle-of-the-road (MOR) independent radio station on 87.7 MHz (now on 100.1 MHz to avoid interference with DWMD-TV, on channel 6, which runs on 87.75 MHz), but it did not resolve the television station's problems.
===Came back in ratings (2000-present)===
As DWAM-TV is downfalling, they broadcasted a show called The History of Philippine Television. That show became big, and in September 2000, DWAM-TV became No.1 again.
DWAM-TV's channel was situated to Channel 30 from Channel 26, in December 1, 2001. On 2000, it started broadcasting vintage Tagalog Dubs and vintage cartoons, such as Batibot. The channel 26 allocation is now the home of PlayStation TV owned-and-operated station DZPS-TV.
On 2015, with the help of E-Media, DWAM became a superstation.
On April 22, 2019, the analog DWAM-TV was knocked off the air when a Magnitude 6.1 earthquake from Castillejos, Zambales hit the hardest in Porac. Thus, the transmitter unit got crashed by the quake. It took about a month to rebuild, and on May 20, 2019, DWAM-TV was back on the airwaves on analog UHF channel 30. On May 28, 2019, DWAM-DT2 started on operations, broadcasting vintage Tagalog dubs and cartoons. Due to that, the vintage cartoons and Tagalog dubs were move to DT2. On June 13, 2019, DWAM-PVN was renamed to DWAM HD and added another subchannel for more shows.
