DZMM (630 AM) was a Philippine radio station owned and operated by ABS-CBN Corporation. The station's studio was located in the ABS-CBN Broadcasting Center, corner of Sgt. Esguerra Avenue and Mother Ignacia Street in Brgy. South Triangle, Diliman, Quezon City, with its 50,000 watt transmitter located at F. Navarette Street, Brgy. Panghulo, Obando, Bulacan. Select programming from the station was also simulcast via satellite over various regional stations, including Puerto Princesa, Cebu, and in Davao City. In 2007 DZMM launched DZMM TeleRadyo, a namesake TV channel which simulcast the radio station and a video feed from the studio.

DZMM went off the air on May 5, 2020 following the expiration of ABS-CBN's legislative franchise to operate terrestrial television and radio stations. Most of the station's programming resumed three days later through the TeleRadyo channel and as an online feed.

The Philippine Collective Media Corporation acquired the frequency in 2023 and relaunched the station in a joint venture with ABS-CBN (via Media Serbisyo Production Corporation), with the call-sign DWPM and initially under the Radyo 630 branding. On May 29, 2025 Radyo 630 and its television counterpart TeleRadyo Serbisyo rebranded back to DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 and DZMM TeleRadyo, reinstating the iconic callsign after five years' absence. But even after this rebranding the station still retained the DWPM callsign prescribed by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), meaning the DZMM callsign no longer exists except as part of the brands DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 and DZMM TeleRadyo.
