History
- April 11, 1969 – Radyo Veritas was inaugurated with Asian bishops as guests. Antonio Cardinal Samore represented Pope Paul VI. It began broadcasting on the frequency formerly assigned to DZST, another Catholic radio station formerly operated by the University of Santo Tomas.
- November 29, 1970 – Pope Paul VI, on his pastoral visit to the country, blessed Radyo Veritas' studios with President Ferdinand E. Marcos in attendance.
- August 21, 1983 – Radyo Veritas became a byword with its coverage of events related to the assassination of former Senator Benigno S. Aquino, Jr.
- February 22–25, 1986 – Radyo Veritas kept local and overseas audiences informed of events related to the People Power Revolution, after Archbishop of Manila Jaime Cardinal Sin called on the Filipinos to support Defence Minister Juan Ponce Enrile and Philippine Constabulary Chief Lt. General Fidel V. Ramos who had defected from the Marcos government. The three-day bloodless revolution eventually removed Marcos from power and installed Corazon Aquino as the eleventh President.
- May 17, 1991 – Radyo Veritas begun its commercial operations as DZNN.
- January 16–20, 2001 – DZRV-Radyo Veritas was once again involved in Philippine history when Cardinal Sin used the station to rally Filipinos to the EDSA Shrine in what became the EDSA Revolution of 2001. Millions of protestors converged on the Shrine, eventually ousting President Joseph Estrada from Malacañang and handing power to his Vice-President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
