DXRA (783 AM) was a radio station owned and operated by Rizal Memorial Colleges Broadcasting Corporation.[1][2][3]
History
[edit]On August 27, 1987, DXRA was attacked by the New People's Army, in what became known as the DXRA Massacre, resulting in nine deaths.[4][5][6]
In 2012, DXRA became part of the Radyo ni Juan network under the helm of the late broadcaster Dodong Solis.[7] It served as its flagship station throughout its existence.
On December 31, 2020, the station, along with most of Radyo ni Juan stations, went off the air due to financial problems.[8]
