History

In October 2016, the Ateneo de Manila University was granted a temporary broadcast permit by the National Telecommunications Commission with its broadcast equipment donated by Ateneo alumnus and KBP Corporate Secretary Jose Yabut.[1]

In the 3rd quarter of 2017, the ADMU began its test broadcast at 87.9 MHz under the tentative name Ateneo Campus Radio.[2]

In February 2018, the ADMU began its actual broadcast under the Radyo Katipunan banner, with its soft launch scheduled on February 14, coinciding both Ash Wednesday and Valentine's Day.[1]

On August 28, 2018, Radyo Katipunan was officially launched, with the addition of simulcasting (another Catholic-run station) Veritas 846 during mornings. In addition, the station provided news updates from Rappler and Voice of America.
