DZBR (531 kHz Tanauan, Batangas) Bible Radio is a religious broadcasting station in the Philippines owned by the Allied Broadcasting Center Inc. and operated by the Cathedral of Praise. Its studios are located at 350 Taft Avenue, Manila, and its transmitter is located at Tanauan, Batangas, where it shares COP remote broadcast facilities, while its omnidirectional broadcast range covers Batangas and Metro Manila. DZBR operates daily on terrestrial radio from 5:00 AM to 12:00 MN, but also has 24-hour operations via online and mobile application streaming (especially during major AM radio maintenances).
Under the current ownership, DZBR is the third broadcasting station to hold the distinction of being the sole AM station in the Batangas radio market, after DWAM 1080 (now DWAL 95.9) and the now-defunct DWAW 999.
Prior history of the 531 AM spot
531 kHz, the low-end spot on the AM band after the November 1978 switch of the Philippine AM dial from the NARBA-mandated 10 kHz spacing to the 9 kHz rule implemented by the Geneva protocol was heavily skipped as it was not positioned by the KBP for radio station licensees, making 558 kHz the required low-end of its Metro Manila AM frequency assignment.
