Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corporation is a radio company based in Makati. Founded in 1971 by Emilio Tuason, TRBC is the broadcasting arm of the Inquirer Group.

Radyo Inquirer (DZIQ 990 kHz Manila) is the radio station of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, with its broadcast team semi-independent of the main paper editorial team as it is mostly composed of career radio people. Its first terrestrial test broadcast on radio was on August 16, 2010, with Inquirer columnist Ramon Tulfo and broadcasting veteran Jay Sonza headlining the list of broadcasters for the new station.

Inquirer 990 Television is a teleradyo-formatted news channel of the Philippine Daily Inquirer currently broadcasting on digital terrestrial television. Programs from the main radio feed are simultaneously aired on the television channel. Inquirer 990 TV is also airing TV programs simulcast on the radio feed such as "Arlyn Dela Cruz Reports", "Radyo Inquirer 990 Special Report" and "Raw Talk".

Trans Radio used to have an FM station DWRT-FM 99.5 in Manila as 99.5 RT From its launch in 1976 until 1996, and DYIO 101.1 in Cebu as Y101 from 1980 to the early 1990s.

In December 2020, it was announced by the Inquirer Group that Radyo Inquirer will be transitioned into a digital news site. DZIQ went off-air in March 2020 and its television counterpart was shut down on December 31, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Inquirer's loss of revenues caused by the lockdown as well as poor ratings of the station and after its legislative franchise to operate the station had lapsed.
