The Edge Radio

The Edge Radio began airing in 2003 at 90.3 MHz (DWMZ) in Lucena, when the UCB formed a partnership with Century Broadcasting Network. The station lasted around in the early 2010s when The Edge Radio decided to transferred its frequency to 103.1 MHz and relocated its broadcast transmission from Lucena to Candelaria, Quezon, as Century reformatted 90.3 as Contemporary MOR station Magik FM. With this transfer, the station under the new frequency rebranded itself as "The Edge Radio Strong South", maintaining its signal reaching the entire Quezon and its neighbored provinces.

In May 2013, one of the station's presenters and a blocktimer, Melinda Jennifer Glefonea, was reportedly abducted by 2 unidentified men at a restaurant in the town's proper.[3][4] However, Quezon police authorities found out that her abduction/kidnapping was actually a set-up by Glefonea herself as she told to the police.[5]

DZKX, as well as 3 other Century-owned Edge Radio stations, were later sold to and spun-off into Christian Music Power (CMPI), a broadcast franchisee of UCB in the Philippines.

gollark: It's not.
gollark: Keep a canonical version with a ton of escape characters I guess.
gollark: This does pose the question of how you would actually keep track of the language's name, if you can't write it down in most things.
