In October 1987, then-President Corazon Aquino, acting through the National Telecommunications Commission, ordered DZME shut down for several months. The shutdown, citing a grave risk to national security, came after the station aired controversial right-wing propaganda and commentary critical of her administration during a series of unsuccessful coup attempts by right-wing rebel groups. DZME returned to the air on January 1, 1988. Enrile Challenges Government On Coup Charge, Station Closed – AP News Archives. Retrieved on Mar. 15, 2015
In 1996, a new group of investors, including former Surigao del Sur Congressman Prospero Pichay Jr., took over the assets and properties of the radio station from the Luison family.
In 2004, DZME adopted the Radyo Uno brand, coinciding with the acquisition of its Harris transmitter.
In 2009, as part of its expansion, DZME relocated from its long-time Roosevelt Avenue site in Quezon City (now Fernando Poe, Jr. Avenue) to Victory Central Mall in Monumento, Caloocan. The former Roosevelt Avenue location now houses a Bank of the Philippine Islands branch. Concurrently, the development of regional affiliates strengthened its nationwide presence, leading to the launch of Like Radio.
From November 2013 to January 2014, some of its programs (except for newscasts) were temporarily suspended and replaced with music fillers due to technical upgrades and the transfer of the studios to the OMM-Citra Building in Ortigas Center, Pasig.
After Holy Week 2015, the Radyo Uno brand was dropped. Later, in the fourth quarter of 2016, DZME enhanced its programming lineup and revitalized its news division. The station also launched new programs while retaining a few of its old ones.
DZME has recently been honored by multiple award-giving bodies for its responsible and balanced programming. It won Best Teleradyo Station of the Year (World Class Excellence Japan Awards), Most Outstanding Local Radio Station (Asian Sterling Business Awards), and Most Trusted Radio Station (Legacy Awards), while ranking among the Top 10 Mega Manila AM stations per Kantar-KBP and Nielsen. In May 2023, the station brought back its Radyo Uno brand.
