NBC's trailblazing efforts over the years had made it a major industry player - becoming the first network to go on 24-hour operations outside Metro Manila, opening the first FM stations in the Visayas and Mindanao regions and bridging the archipelago for the first time via satellite broadcast.

In 1998, NBC became the only FM radio network in the Philippines with member-stations sporting names which represent their respective markets.

DZAR was the first to launch in 1998 through its nationwide transmission. But in 2005, Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy purchased all NBC AM stations and rebranded as Sonshine Radio.
