History[]

BEAM was established in 1993 by the Canoy family, owners of Radio Mindanao Network. Its Congressional broadcast franchise was granted in 1995.[3] At that time, it only owned one FM radio station in Dagupan.

In 2009, Bethlehem Holdings Inc., an investment firm of the Globe Telecom Retirement Group Fund, acquired BEAM from the Canoys (conciding with the acquisition of a large stake in another broadcast firm, Altimax, from Mel Velarde).[4][5]

Throughout the 2010s, BEAM began transitioning its analog channels in key cities nationwide to digital broadcast via ISDB-T.[6][7] Aside from blocktimers, BEAM is now looking for local and foreign partnerships to allocate and generate content up to seven digital free TV channels.[8]

On July 30, 2020, Philippine President Rodrigo Roa Duterte signed by Republic Act No. 11482 An act renewing for another twenty-five (25) years the Franchise Granted to Broadcast Enterprises and Affiliated Media, Inc. Under Republic Act No. 8098 To Construct, Install, Establish, Operate, and Maintain radio and television broadcasting stations in the Philippines.[9]
