DWIZ (882 AM) is a callsign radio station owned and operated by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation, a subsidiary of the ALC Group of Companies.

Present-day DWIZ began as KZPI—its last two call letters stood for Philippine Islands[1]—a commercial radio station being established in 1946[1][2] by the Philippine Broadcasting Corporation (PBC)[1] through the Soriano family, along with magazine chain owner Ramon Roces,[2] as a post-war extension of the company's predecessor, Far Eastern Broadcasting Company.

[3][a][2] FEBC had operated KZRM and KZRF (originally KZEG) until the beginning of the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in late 1941.

[1][2] Its first, small studio was located in the 5th Floor of the Filipinas Building at Plaza Moraga in Manila;[5] its transmitter in Polo, Bulacan.

[1][4] The equipment were yet to be fully set up by July 4 when it was among the three stations to cover the inaugural ceremonies for the formal declaration of independence from the United States at the Luneta Park, and for Manuel Roxas as the first president of the new Republic.

[2] By mid-1972, the station, being rebranded as Radio Philippines, had been transferred to Navotas, Rizal; its power had been increased to 5 kW.

[7] DZPI was able to report the arrest of several political leaders following President Ferdinand Marcos' declaration of martial law on September 21, 1972, which would be announced two days later.

Its first major news coverages were the country's annual Independence Day celebrations and the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

[16] In 2005, DWIZ launched Karambola, a morning political commentary program featuring a panel of journalists and columnists led by Jonathan De la Cruz.

[18] DWIZ also launched its first ever radio jingle on July 14, 2014, a couple of days before Typhoon Glenda (Rammasun) wreaked havoc over Metro Manila.
