The story
Aliw was established on May 12, 1991, with the acquisition of DWIZ from Manila Broadcasting Company. The station would later on become among the top-rated news and talk stations in Metro Manila. A year later, it established a number of FM stations across the country. These stations would be later known as Home Radio.
On May 3, 2016, Philippine President Benigno S. Aquino III signed Republic Act No. 10790, an act amending the franchise of Aliw Broadcasting Corporation and Renewing/Extending the term thereof to another twenty-five (25) years that shall take effect on April 13, 2017.
On January 5, 2022, the National Telecommunications Commission awarded Channel 23 to Aliw Broadcasting Corporation under a provisional authority license. The channel was formerly used by Studio 23 and S+A of ABS-CBN Corporation. This marks Aliw's venture into television. On May 6, 2022, the channel launched its broadcast with a live video feed of DWIZ, in which it would be later known as IZTV. On January 30, 2023, it was relaunched as ALIW Channel 23. It was officially launched on June 23, 2023, with the tagline Reaching and Engaging More Filipinos Nationwide and Worldwide.
On January 30, 2023, Home Radio's provincial stations were relaunched under the DWIZ network, collectively known as DWIZ News FM.
On May 1, 2026, all of its FM stations temporarily dropped their respective branding, citing changes in the management. On May 8, along with the restoration of the said branding in Manila, its provincial stations were relaunched under the Home Radio network.
