Profile

Times Broadcasting Network Corporation was founded in the 1970s by Emilio Sy with DXSY. In 1990, it expanded into FM, with its stations in Ozamiz, Dipolog, and Pagadian carrying a Top 40 format with unique branding for each. In 2010, after the death of Alex Velayo Sy, its stations started losing steam. In 2016, Bisdak Media Group acquired the company and rebranded its stations as Radyo BisDak, which since carried a music and news format. It also opened a few more stations in Zamboanga and Central Visayas.^[3]^[4]
