HISTORY OF RADIO MINDANAO NETWORK
RMN is the largest radio network in the Philippines with almost 60 company-owned AM & FM radio stations located around the Philippines. Radio Mindanao Network remains the legal name of the radio network, while Radyo Mo Nationwide is the slogan of the network. The network's first radio station was DXCC, established in Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao on August 28, 1952. The callsign has been supposed as a reference to the surnames of the business' founders (Canoy and Cui) but, according to founder Henry Canoy in his memoir, was actually chosen to mean Cagayan de OroCommunity.
The network studios and offices in Metro Manila are located at the 4/F Guadalupe Commercial Complex Bldg. (GCCB), EDSA Guadalupe, Makati City and Unit 806, Atlanta Centre Annapolis Street, Greenhills, San Juan City.
Sometime in 1948, Don Henry R. Canoy, together with Robin Cui and Vicente Rivera, set up two home-built tube radio receivers bought from Fideng Palacio of Puntod and placed them in an abandoned chicken poultry house situated at the corner of Velez and del Pilar streets in Cagayan de Oro for the purpose of listening to radio broadcasts from Manila. Canoy and friends ended up listening to radio broadcasts at night when reception was better. Eventually, the friends were all convinced to build a radio transmitter of their own. The group managed to assemble a 30-Watt radio transmitter from surplus parts bought at Raon Street in Quiapo, Manila. Henry Canoy broke the airwaves as a Pirate radio station in 1949, declaring "This is Cagayan de Oro calling...". Because the broadcast was not authorized by the Radio Control Office (RCO), it did not contain call letters.
In 1950 Canoy, at the insistence of his brother, lawyer Reuben R. Canoy, decided to establish a more powerful radio station and applied for a congressional franchise in Manila to support its lawful operation. In 1951, he set up the fledging station in partnership with Robin Cui, Max Suniel, Oscar Neri and Andres Bacal as equity partners with P10,000 in capital. on 23 June 1952 he was granted a permit to maintain and operate the radio broadcasting station.
Using the “Radio Amateur’s Handbook” as their guide and also with surplus parts bought from Raon in Quiapo, Manila, they built their own 500-watt AM transmitter with the assistance from Far East Broadcasting Company engineers, American Dick Rowland and Byrd Bruneimer. The transmitter was transported to Mindanao aboard the boat MV Snug Hitch. With only a telescopic steel pole as antenna borrowed from the Bureau of Telecom, the improvised horizontal radio antenna was mounted by the team which include Ongkoy Padero, former vice president for engineering of CEPALCO, attaching one end of a copper wire to the pole and the other end to a 30 meters coconut tree a block away . While their first “transmitter building” was financed with a P5, 000 “duck farm” loan from thePhilippine National Bank. The Radio Control Office (RCO) headed by Mr Jose Viado, assigned the station a broadcast frequency of 1560 kHz.
On July 4, 1952, it went on air for test broadcast the second time coinciding with the birthday of his mother. It officially started broadcasting on August 28, 1952, also coinciding with the town fiesta ofSan Agustin, the patron saint of Cagayan de Oro archdiocese. Listeners anticipated the first words they would hear on radio and were greeted the station ID and the following words “You are tuned to Station DXCC, broadcasting with a power of 500 watts on 1560 kilocycles from Cagayan de Oro’s ” Gateway to Mindanao!” and every hour thereafter. The stations first live broadcastcoincides with its opening and the program involves the airing of a 3-hour “Anejo Rum” show from Plaza Divisoria, a central park in downtown Cagayan de Oro, for which Canoy billed La Tondenaexecutive Hugo Chan Hong the sum of P500 as payment for the radio coverage. The Radio signal was able to reach Del Monte Pacific plantation in Bukidnon 30 km away and as far as Australiathrough ham radio operations which managed to call back. (RMN The Henry R. Canoy Story,ISBN ?, Copyright 1997)
In 1954, Henry R. Canoy visited the United States under an observation grant. Instead of going to the giant networks and other big cities, he opted to be taken to a small backwater town of Greeley,Colorado, and he came upon a station that was doing exactly what DXCC was already trying to do in Mindanao. Its broadcast fare was peppered with farm prices, market and road conditions, weather warnings and personal messages. He came back with the blueprint for DXCC, which is entertainment, information and most of all education to the public.
The success of its broadcasting concept enabled DXCC to expand to Iligan, then to Butuan and Davao. By 1957, the station with a coconut tree for an antenna had given birth to four others. And so the string of community stations became Radio Mindanao Network (RMN).
In 1962, RMN's approach to broadcasting drew the interest of another visionary business leader, the late Andres Soriano Sr. of San Miguel Corporation who eventually bought the majority shares of RMN and brought the radio network to Manila, the first provincial station to do so. "The Sound of the City" concept was born with the establishment of DZHP in Metro Manila. Its format was strictly music and news. RMN joined forces with the Philippine Herald and Inter-Island Broadcasting Corporation to form the powerful first tri-media organization. That association gave RMN at the forefront of broadcast journalism and public service. Other "Sound of the City" stations soon followed in Cebu in 1963 (DYHP), DZHB in Baguio and DXHP in Cagayan de Oro in 1968.
In 1968, RMN made a "first" in Philippine radio history by initiating the national newscasts via microwave. Fast, direct and crystal clear network newscasts emanating from the Tri-Media News Central in Manila brought the events as they happened in all parts of the country via stations DZHP in Manila, DZHB in Baguio, DYHP in Cebu, DXVM in Cagayan de Oro and DXDC in Davao.
From 1969 to 1970 three more community stations emerged - DXRS in Surigao and DZHN in Naga. In early 1972, station DXHP in Cagayan de Oro was transferred to Bislig, Surigao del Sur. By 1972, RMN had twelve (12) AM stations under its wings.
In 1973, with a constitutional limitation prohibiting the ownership of media by non-Filipinos or corporations not 100% Filipino owned, Henry Canoy's group brought out the Soriano-San Miguel group holdings in RMN.
In 1975, the call letters of the Manila flagship station, DZHP was changed to DWXL. Together with this, English programming gave way to Filipino. RMN's AM stations were broadcasting in three major dialects, Filipino, Cebuano and Ilonggo. Noted columnist Teodoro Valencia joined RMN as its Chairman of the Board. Under his guidance RMN was able to secure a loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines to finance its massive expansion and development program. A Cebuano drama production center based in DYHP-Cebu was established and subsequently followed by an Ilonggo drama production center based in DYHB-Bacolod.
In 1978, RMN's major expansion program was launched which include the upgrading of the technical facilities of its existing stations and the establishment of additional AM and FM stations. Among the stations that were added to the roster of RMN stations were: DXVM-FM in Cagayan de Oro, DXXL-FM in Davao, DYXL-FM in Cebu & DWKC-FM in Metro Manila. DWHB-FM in Baguio opened in 1980. DXDR-AM in Dipolog & DXKR in Pagadian was added in 1981.
RMN also increased its coverage by entering into tie-up arrangements with smaller networks. Under this scheme, RMN provided programming, marketing, technical and management expertise where these small stations would be found wanting. This gave birth to a new name for these stations under the RMN umbrella - Radio Mindanao Network, Inc. and Associates.
In 1985, the programming of all RMN FM stations were also re-oriented to cater to a younger pop music audience. This was in line with the network's philosophy of positioning to be No.1 in listenership ratings.To give more emphasis to the emerging FM station market, RMN also divided its operations into two Operating Divisions, AM and FM.
In 1990, RMN undertook another major expansion program which entailed the addition of seven FM radio stations. A permit for RMN's first TV station located in Cagayan de Oro City was also granted.
In April,1991, President Corazon Aquino signed into law Republic Act 6980 entitled "An Act Renewing the Franchise Granted to Radio Mindanao Network, Inc. under Republic Act Numbered Thirty-One Hundred Twenty-Two to another Twenty-Five (25) years from the date of approval of this Act". This was the first broadcast franchise approved under President Aquino's term of office.
On August 28, 1991, TV-8, RMN's first television station went on the air in Cagayan de Oro City. Thirty nine years after its start, RMN was now venturing into television. In December 1991, RMN was also granted a permit to operate a UHF television station in Metro Manila (which is now branded as BEAM Channel 31 and currently aired as The Game Channel owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation).
In 1998, it went global by establishing the first Philippine radio station to conquer the United States airwaves through WRMN in New York.
In June 2007, RMN fm station DWKC 93.9 in Manila was the first commercial station in the country to broadcast with HD Radio technology. It broadcast in three HD Radio digital audio channels along with its pre-existing analog signal. The operation of its facility was in high-level combined hybrid mode with an existing 35 kW analog transmitter, a new Nautel 1 kW HD Radio transmitter, with the digital exciter, importer and exporter providing the digital signal component.
On July 3, 2011, RMN TV station DWKC 31 in Manila returned after its broadcast and ratings failure from E! Philippines in 2003. RMN together with the joint venture of Solar Entertainment Corporationsigned a blocktime agreement to use the CTV-31 facilities, and branded the station as BEAM Channel 31 where currently occupied by The Game Channel. Both station network is currently having its test broadcast. The RMN/BEAM Network is now the 4th free TV station in the Philippines besides RPN, SBN, and its former competitor television network RJTV to have its airtime blocktimed by Solar. The TV station of RMN/BEAM Channel 31 (The Game Channel) is now available on selected cable recpients, on Global Destiny Cable on Channel 116, while the others will soon to operate the station.

In December 1991, RMN was also granted a permit to operate a UHF television station in Metro Manila (which is now branded as BEAM Channel 31 and currently aired as The Game Channel owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation).
In 1998, it went global by establishing the first Philippine radio station to conquer the United States airwaves through WRMN in New York.
In June 2007, RMN fm station DWKC 93.9 in Manila was the first commercial station in the country to broadcast with HD Radio technology. It broadcast in three HD Radio digital audio channels along with its pre-existing analog signal. The operation of its facility was in high-level combined hybrid mode with an existing 35 kW analog transmitter, a new Nautel 1 kW HD Radio transmitter, with the digital exciter, importer and exporter providing the digital signal component.
On July 3, 2011, RMN TV station DWKC 31 in Manila returned after its broadcast and ratings failure from E! Philippines in 2003. RMN together with the joint venture of Solar Entertainment Corporationsigned a blocktime agreement to use the CTV-31 facilities, and branded the station as BEAM Channel 31 where currently occupied by The Game Channel. Both station network is currently having its test broadcast. The RMN/BEAM Network is now the 4th free TV station in the Philippines besides RPN, SBN, and its former competitor television network RJTV to have its airtime blocktimed by Solar.

KASAYSAYAN SA FORT SAN PEDRO
ni Christianne Eric T. Orbiso
Tulo ka anggulo nga ginama sa mga nilumpong nga mga bato ug adunay mga atabay ang Fort San Pedro kaniadtu. Nahimu kining taguanan sa mga Espanyol panahon sa gubat batok sa mga Amerikano. Kini nahimutang duul sa pier ug sa kaniadtung Customs House sa Syudad sa Sugbu.
Niadtung Mayo ocho mil quenientos saysenta y singko, mao ang paghimu sa Fort onse ka adlaw human sa pag abut ni Miguel Lopez de Legaspi sa Sugbu kinsa maoy nahimung gobernador sa Sugbu nga usa ka Espanyol.
Tunga- tunga sa tuig mil ocho sientos, niagi kining Fort San Pedro sa usa ka testimonya sa Santissimo Nombre de Jesus kon ang espanyol nga pinulungan sa Syudad sa Sugbu, ug sa maong tuig, nahimu kining parte sa Warwick Barrack, usa ka punduhanan sa mga Kano nga sundalo.
Sa tuig mil nuive sientos diesesiete, nihanyo ang munisipyo sa Sugbu nga ihatag sa syudad ang Fort San Pedro arun pagahimuun nga lugar- laaganan sa mga molupyu. Ug ingun man, sa tuig mil nueve sientos singkwenta y siete, nahimo kining Cebu Garden Club ug Cebu City Zoo. Pagkaabut sa tuig mil nueve sientos setenta y ocho hangtud mil nueve sientos noventra y tres, nahimu na kining opisina sa gobyerno.
Ang maong Fort adunay mga kanyon nga maoy gigamit nga hinagiban sa mga Espanyol niadtung gubat.
Aduna usab kini tulo ka balwarte nga gihinganlan ug La Concepcion, San Miguel ug San Ignacio de Loyola.
Ug karun, ang Fort San Pedro usa na sa mga lugar nga dugukanan sa mga turista dinhi sa Sugbu ug nagpabiling makasaysayun tungod sa mga buhing kabtangan sama sa karaang dokumento, artifacts, kinulit nga mga hulagway, paintings ug uban pang mga kabilin sa mga Espanyol.
ANG PARAISO
ni Christianne Eric Orbiso
Ang kalibutan kaniadto
Sama sa usa ka Paraiso
Puno sa paglaum ug kalipay
Diin kita managpuyo sa kaligdong ug kahapsay.
Tataw nga tubig sa kadagatan,
Maayong paglahi sa mga hugaw sa basurahan,
Presko nga hangin nga atong masinghut
Nga daw kita dad- on sa lugar nga way kaligutgut.
Apan naunsa na ang kalibutan karon?
Kinahanglan pa ba natong mahalon?
Nagkuyat-ag nga basura bisan asa ka mahiabut
Ang Paraiso nga puno sa kagubot.
Panahon na nga ako muingon sa atung buhatunon
Alang sa pagbalik sa kaniadtong Paraiso ug kita magamatngon
Basura dinhi, basura didto atong hipuson
Arun sa dayon, kita makaamgo pagbalik og kahayag gikan sa kangitngit ‘tang kagahapon.
Magsugod kita sa sinugdanan!
Banhawon ‘ta ang kaniadtong Paraiso!
ANG DAN COLON
ni Julie Ann Daclan
Ang Colon maoy giingun nga labing karaan nga dalan sa tibuok Pilipinas. Gitikud kini sa mga Espanyol sa panahon ni Miguel Lopez de Legaspi. Ang ngalang Colon nagagikan sa pangan ni Cristobal Colon o mas nailhan sa pangan nga Cristopher Columbus. Ang maong dalan nagsilbing sentro sa dakbayan sa Sugbu, ang lugar diin makit- an ang nagkadaiyang mga establishamento sama sa mga sinehan, department stores ug uban pang mga edipesyo sa mga tigpatigayon.
Sa paglabay sa mga katuigan, nagpabiling sentro usab sa panginabuhian sa atong mga kaigsuunan ang maong dalan. Sa Colon natukod ang labing unang establishamento sa tigpapatigayun ug ingun man ang mga nagkalain- laing opisina. Ang maong dalan maoy saksi sa pagsaka ug pag us-us sa ekonomiya ingun man ang kompetisyun sa pulitika sa Sugbo.
Ang Colon puno sa mga nagkadaiyang komersyal nga mga edipesyo ug tungod niini,ang mga negosyante hugot og pagsalig nga magmalampuson ang ilang negosyo.
Tuig 1990, ang kultura sa Amerika sama sa department store nahiabut sa Sugbu. Nagkadaiyang gidak-un sa mga edipesyo ang pas-pas nga napatukod hinungdan nga daghang negosyante ng nabalaka tungod sa inanay nga pag us-us sa ilang mamalitay. Sa maong hitabo, daghang establishamento ang nasirado sa hinungdan nga kadaghanan sa mga konsumidor, nadani sa mga de aircon nga mga edipesyo. Apan, ning bag-o lang, nabantayan nga nidaghan ang mamalitay sa Dan Colon. Daghang mga tawo sa lain- laing probinsya sa Sugbu ni konsiderar nga ang Colon maoy lugar diin anaa ang labing barato nga mga panaliton.
Ang Colon nagpabiling paraiso sa mga nagkalahi- lahing mga bargain stores sama sa ukay- ukay, diin nailhan nga usa kini sa mga atraksyon sa katawhan. Ang maong kalihukan giila sa mga sugbuanon tungod kay nahisama ra kini nga nibisita kita pagbalik sa kaniadtong dalan.
Ang Dan Colon garbo sa mga Sugbuanon kaniadto, karon ug sa umaabot!

TECH TOOLS FOR TEACHING
ORBISO, CHRISTIANNE ERIC TAPANG BSDEVCOM 3-A
MENTORS’ SCRIBE
Nothing can replace the old- fashioned facilities but only to add them with an IN technologies to capture and keep you students’ attention. By adopting these, few of the tech tools, you will surely utilize better instructional results and yield an effective learning strategy to your students.
1. INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD. This is a large, touch- controlled screen that works with a projector and a computer. Both teachers and students can write on it using a digital ink, control computer applications by pointing, clicking and dragging through the fingers, circle relevant sections on the projected image draw geometric figures and underline. According to Lisa Mims, winner of the “Showcase Technology Teacher of the Year” for the Colonial School District in Delaware, interactive whiteboard is a combination of chalk board, movie projector and game board and she also uses it for basic word processing, interactive games and lessons and showing videos.
2. DOCUMENT CAMERA. This is sometimes called as a “digital overhead”. It is a small camera mounted on a stand accompanied by an LCD projector. You can place objects or documents under the camera and project it onto a screen to accommodate the whole class in letting them view like photographs, maps, books, magazines or even flowers, coins or insects. According to Brock Dubbels of Richard Green Central School in Minneapolis, Minnesota that through document camera, you can display hand- drawn pictures, share your student work and this has a remote control which can adjust lighting and even project what microscope sees.
3. CLICKER. This is a small, handheld device that looks like TV remote controls connected to presentation software on the classroom computer and a receiver that captures the students’ answers to multiple choice questions. This can turn passive topics of lesson to dynamic, interactive discussions that engage and entertain students. According to Eva Dietz, a fifth grade teacher at Foothills Elementary School in Buckley, Washington, this gadget does the scoring for her of the students’ answers whenever she does an examination. Moreover, she uses this for vocabulary review, science quizzes and surveys.
4. GPS RECEIVER. Educators use this to teach geography, spatial awareness, navigation and basic mapping and tracking. Global Positioning System (GPS) is a worldwide radio- navigation system that can display basic geographic information like latitude, longitude, elevation, direction and bearing. This also includes altimeters, magnetic compasses, detailed topographic and city maps and other points of interests.
5. MP3 PLAYER. This is a versatile, handheld device which can store, organize and play audio and video files. Some teachers said that MP3 player can be a useful tool in classroom. One of them is Camilla Gagliolo, an instructional technology coordinator at Arlington Public Schools in Northern Virginia who said that they used MP3 player with clip- on microphones to take live notes on a field trip or in the classroom.
These are just few of the modern technologies that are already been utilized by some teachers because it is proven as conducive for learning. These are used in supplementing training to the students and you can clarify the complicated things that is also not time consuming. With these, you will never waste your time likewise feed more information to your student in just a second.

HISTORY OF RADIO MINDANAO NETWORK
RMN is the largest radio network in the Philippines with almost 60 company-owned AM & FM radio stations located around the Philippines. Radio Mindanao Network remains the legal name of the radio network, while Radyo Mo Nationwide is the slogan of the network. The network's first radio station was DXCC, established in Cagayan de Oro in Mindanao on August 28, 1952. The callsign has been supposed as a reference to the surnames of the business' founders (Canoy and Cui) but, according to founder Henry Canoy in his memoir, was actually chosen to mean Cagayan de OroCommunity.
The network studios and offices in Metro Manila are located at the 4/F Guadalupe Commercial Complex Bldg. (GCCB), EDSA Guadalupe, Makati City and Unit 806, Atlanta Centre Annapolis Street, Greenhills, San Juan City.
Sometime in 1948, Don Henry R. Canoy, together with Robin Cui and Vicente Rivera, set up two home-built tube radio receivers bought from Fideng Palacio of Puntod and placed them in an abandoned chicken poultry house situated at the corner of Velez and del Pilar streets in Cagayan de Oro for the purpose of listening to radio broadcasts from Manila. Canoy and friends ended up listening to radio broadcasts at night when reception was better. Eventually, the friends were all convinced to build a radio transmitter of their own. The group managed to assemble a 30-Watt radio transmitter from surplus parts bought at Raon Street in Quiapo, Manila. Henry Canoy broke the airwaves as a Pirate radio station in 1949, declaring "This is Cagayan de Oro calling...". Because the broadcast was not authorized by the Radio Control Office (RCO), it did not contain call letters.
In 1950 Canoy, at the insistence of his brother, lawyer Reuben R. Canoy, decided to establish a more powerful radio station and applied for a congressional franchise in Manila to support its lawful operation. In 1951, he set up the fledging station in partnership with Robin Cui, Max Suniel, Oscar Neri and Andres Bacal as equity partners with P10,000 in capital. on 23 June 1952 he was granted a permit to maintain and operate the radio broadcasting station.
Using the “Radio Amateur’s Handbook” as their guide and also with surplus parts bought from Raon in Quiapo, Manila, they built their own 500-watt AM transmitter with the assistance from Far East Broadcasting Company engineers, American Dick Rowland and Byrd Bruneimer. The transmitter was transported to Mindanao aboard the boat MV Snug Hitch. With only a telescopic steel pole as antenna borrowed from the Bureau of Telecom, the improvised horizontal radio antenna was mounted by the team which include Ongkoy Padero, former vice president for engineering of CEPALCO, attaching one end of a copper wire to the pole and the other end to a 30 meters coconut tree a block away . While their first “transmitter building” was financed with a P5, 000 “duck farm” loan from thePhilippine National Bank. The Radio Control Office (RCO) headed by Mr Jose Viado, assigned the station a broadcast frequency of 1560 kHz.
On July 4, 1952, it went on air for test broadcast the second time coinciding with the birthday of his mother. It officially started broadcasting on August 28, 1952, also coinciding with the town fiesta ofSan Agustin, the patron saint of Cagayan de Oro archdiocese. Listeners anticipated the first words they would hear on radio and were greeted the station ID and the following words “You are tuned to Station DXCC, broadcasting with a power of 500 watts on 1560 kilocycles from Cagayan de Oro’s ” Gateway to Mindanao!” and every hour thereafter. The stations first live broadcastcoincides with its opening and the program involves the airing of a 3-hour “Anejo Rum” show from Plaza Divisoria, a central park in downtown Cagayan de Oro, for which Canoy billed La Tondenaexecutive Hugo Chan Hong the sum of P500 as payment for the radio coverage. The Radio signal was able to reach Del Monte Pacific plantation in Bukidnon 30 km away and as far as Australiathrough ham radio operations which managed to call back. (RMN The Henry R. Canoy Story,ISBN ?, Copyright 1997)
In 1954, Henry R. Canoy visited the United States under an observation grant. Instead of going to the giant networks and other big cities, he opted to be taken to a small backwater town of Greeley,Colorado, and he came upon a station that was doing exactly what DXCC was already trying to do in Mindanao. Its broadcast fare was peppered with farm prices, market and road conditions, weather warnings and personal messages. He came back with the blueprint for DXCC, which is entertainment, information and most of all education to the public.
The success of its broadcasting concept enabled DXCC to expand to Iligan, then to Butuan and Davao. By 1957, the station with a coconut tree for an antenna had given birth to four others. And so the string of community stations became Radio Mindanao Network (RMN).
In 1962, RMN's approach to broadcasting drew the interest of another visionary business leader, the late Andres Soriano Sr. of San Miguel Corporation who eventually bought the majority shares of RMN and brought the radio network to Manila, the first provincial station to do so. "The Sound of the City" concept was born with the establishment of DZHP in Metro Manila. Its format was strictly music and news. RMN joined forces with the Philippine Herald and Inter-Island Broadcasting Corporation to form the powerful first tri-media organization. That association gave RMN at the forefront of broadcast journalism and public service. Other "Sound of the City" stations soon followed in Cebu in 1963 (DYHP), DZHB in Baguio and DXHP in Cagayan de Oro in 1968.
In 1968, RMN made a "first" in Philippine radio history by initiating the national newscasts via microwave. Fast, direct and crystal clear network newscasts emanating from the Tri-Media News Central in Manila brought the events as they happened in all parts of the country via stations DZHP in Manila, DZHB in Baguio, DYHP in Cebu, DXVM in Cagayan de Oro and DXDC in Davao.
From 1969 to 1970 three more community stations emerged - DXRS in Surigao and DZHN in Naga. In early 1972, station DXHP in Cagayan de Oro was transferred to Bislig, Surigao del Sur. By 1972, RMN had twelve (12) AM stations under its wings.
In 1973, with a constitutional limitation prohibiting the ownership of media by non-Filipinos or corporations not 100% Filipino owned, Henry Canoy's group brought out the Soriano-San Miguel group holdings in RMN.
In 1975, the call letters of the Manila flagship station, DZHP was changed to DWXL. Together with this, English programming gave way to Filipino. RMN's AM stations were broadcasting in three major dialects, Filipino, Cebuano and Ilonggo. Noted columnist Teodoro Valencia joined RMN as its Chairman of the Board. Under his guidance RMN was able to secure a loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines to finance its massive expansion and development program. A Cebuano drama production center based in DYHP-Cebu was established and subsequently followed by an Ilonggo drama production center based in DYHB-Bacolod.
In 1978, RMN's major expansion program was launched which include the upgrading of the technical facilities of its existing stations and the establishment of additional AM and FM stations. Among the stations that were added to the roster of RMN stations were: DXVM-FM in Cagayan de Oro, DXXL-FM in Davao, DYXL-FM in Cebu & DWKC-FM in Metro Manila. DWHB-FM in Baguio opened in 1980. DXDR-AM in Dipolog & DXKR in Pagadian was added in 1981.
RMN also increased its coverage by entering into tie-up arrangements with smaller networks. Under this scheme, RMN provided programming, marketing, technical and management expertise where these small stations would be found wanting. This gave birth to a new name for these stations under the RMN umbrella - Radio Mindanao Network, Inc. and Associates.
In 1985, the programming of all RMN FM stations were also re-oriented to cater to a younger pop music audience. This was in line with the network's philosophy of positioning to be No.1 in listenership ratings.To give more emphasis to the emerging FM station market, RMN also divided its operations into two Operating Divisions, AM and FM.
In 1990, RMN undertook another major expansion program which entailed the addition of seven FM radio stations. A permit for RMN's first TV station located in Cagayan de Oro City was also granted.
In April,1991, President Corazon Aquino signed into law Republic Act 6980 entitled "An Act Renewing the Franchise Granted to Radio Mindanao Network, Inc. under Republic Act Numbered Thirty-One Hundred Twenty-Two to another Twenty-Five (25) years from the date of approval of this Act". This was the first broadcast franchise approved under President Aquino's term of office.
On August 28, 1991, TV-8, RMN's first television station went on the air in Cagayan de Oro City. Thirty nine years after its start, RMN was now venturing into television. In December 1991, RMN was also granted a permit to operate a UHF television station in Metro Manila (which is now branded as BEAM Channel 31 and currently aired as The Game Channel owned by Solar Entertainment Corporation).
In 1998, it went global by establishing the first Philippine radio station to conquer the United States airwaves through WRMN in New York.
In June 2007, RMN fm station DWKC 93.9 in Manila was the first commercial station in the country to broadcast with HD Radio technology. It broadcast in three HD Radio digital audio channels along with its pre-existing analog signal. The operation of its facility was in high-level combined hybrid mode with an existing 35 kW analog transmitter, a new Nautel 1 kW HD Radio transmitter, with the digital exciter, importer and exporter providing the digital signal component.
On July 3, 2011, RMN TV station DWKC 31 in Manila returned after its broadcast and ratings failure from E! Philippines in 2003. RMN together with the joint venture of Solar Entertainment Corporationsigned a blocktime agreement to use the CTV-31 facilities, and branded the station as BEAM Channel 31 where currently occupied by The Game Channel. Both station network is currently having its test broadcast. The RMN/BEAM Network is now the 4th free TV station in the Philippines besides RPN, SBN, and its former competitor television network RJTV to have its airtime blocktimed by Solar. The TV station of RMN/BEAM Channel 31 (The Game Channel) is now available on selected cable recpients, on Global Destiny Cable on Channel 116, while the others will soon to operate the station.
