Radio Philippines Network, Inc. (RPN 9) is a Philippines flagship VHF television network of the Government Communications Group headed by the Press Secretary which is located at Broadcast City, Old Balara, Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City. And the transmitter is located at Panay Ave., Quezon City.
RPN launched on June 29,1960 as Kanlaon Broadcasting System (KBS), under Roberto S. Benedicto. Kanlaon is a volcano in the Philippine island of Negros, the home province of Mr. Benedicto. After Pres. Ferdinand Marcos sequestered the rights of CBN-9 of the late Eugenio Lopez, Sr., he awarded the Channel 9 frequency through a Presidential Decree. After the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, all of the stocks and assets of RPN-9, IBC-13 and BBC-2 were sequestered by the Presidential Commission on Good Government (PCGG). President Corazon Aquino awarded BBC-2 through an executive order to ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation headed by the late Eugenio Lopez, Jr.. RPN-9 and IBC-13 assets and equipments were turned over to the Government Communications Group. There were plans to auction the TV frequency rights currently in use by RPN-9 and IBC-13 in the future.
