DZTC commenced full operation in 1965 under ownership of Nation Broadcasting Corporation, owned by the Yabut Family. It was the second radio station established in Tarlac province after DZXT-AM of Filipinas Broadcasting Network. On September 1981, Radyo Pilipino Corporation acquired the station, with Eli Garcia and Francis Cardona managing the station. Its studios were located at the 4th Floor of Mariposa Building along F. Tanedo St. In 1991, after the killer quake in Northern and Central Luzon, DZTC moved its studios to the Old White House along Ramos St., Brgy. San Vicente.
