On May 23, 2023, ABS-CBN Corporation announced in its press release that the company will enter into a joint venture agreement with Prime Media Holdings, Inc., owned by House Speaker Representative Martin Romualdez, to produce and supply various programs including news content to broadcasters and third-party entities including the PMHI-owned Philippine Collective Media Corporation, operator of the Favorite Music Radio FM radio network. Among the plans for ABS-CBN and Prime Media's joint venture is the possible revival of DZMM on its frequency 630 kHz.[4][5]

On June 26, 2023, 630 kHz conducted a test broadcast under the DWPM callsign.[6][2]

The station made its soft launch on June 30, 2023, as Radyo 630.[7] A day prior to the launch, hosts of several programs from ABS-CBN's Filipino cable news channel TeleRadyo has informed their viewers to tune-in to the new station the next day. Its soft launch coincided with the relaunch of TeleRadyo as TeleRadyo Serbisyo, which is also now handled under the Prime Media/ABS-CBN joint-venture management.[8] It had its official launch on July 17, with the debut of its afternoon and evening programs.[9][10] On August 5, the station introduced its weekend afternoon and evening programs to the station's programming grid. On March 4, 2024, the station introduced its weekday early morning programming, while it introduced its early morning weekend programs 5 days later on March 9.

On July 1, 2024, coinciding with the anniversary of the relaunch, the station had a minor schedule revamp and expanded its programming to round-the-clock.
