DYEZ (684 AM) Aksyon Radyo is a news/talk station owned by Pacific Broadcasting Systems, a subsidiary of Manila Broadcasting Company. Its studio is located in the Penthouse, Wilrose Building, Corner Locsin – Burgos Streets, Bacolod, while its transmitter located in Barangay Taloc, Bago, Negros Occidental.

Broadcasting history

DYEZ traces its roots to the city of La Carlota where it first started operations from the administrative building of the then Elizalde-owned Central Azucarera De La Carlota in the 1960s.

The small community radio station, originally having the call sign of dYEN, hosted some of the pioneer broadcasters in the province until the declaration of Martial Law when it was closed down. Several years later, it resumed operations as dyEZ and became the dominant news and music station before the proliferation of FM stations. This was known at that time as DYEZ Sunshine City, the localized version of Manila's DWIZ (now owned by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation) used at that time as Sunshine City.

By the 1980s, DYEZ shifted its programming to full-time news and public affairs. With it came the change of name from Radyo Balita to Radyo Owang, until finally settling on what is widely perceived as the most the appropriate name for a dynamic news and public affairs station: Aksyon Radyo.

Aksyon Radyo Bacolod celebrated its 42nd Anniversary by way of a free medical and dental mission which benefitted nearly 300 patients.

Recently, Aksyon Radyo Bacolod capped the year 2011 with another project by its civic arm "Operation Tulong Task Force" when it turned over to the Social Action Center of the Diocese of Bacolod more than 200 boxes of used clothes and food stuff for the victims of Tropical Storm “Sendong".
