Despite the scarcity of new broadcasting facilities, the station has scored many milestones with its news, Congressional coverage, breaking news, exclusives, and blow-by-blow accounts of major national events. It was also a pioneer with trendsetting shows such as "Camay Theater of the Air", "Lovingly Yours, Helen", "Kahapon Lamang", "Tawag ng Tanghalan", "Newscoop", and "Kwentong Kutsero". Some of these shows eventually became television shows. DZBB was also the first to air live coverage of not only news and public affairs, but also entertainment and educational programmes.
