April 11, 1969 – Radyo Veritas was inaugurated with Asian bishops as guests. Antonio Cardinal Samore represented Pope Paul VI. It began broadcasting on the frequency formerly assigned to DZST 860 kHz, another Catholic radio station formerly operated by the University of Santo Tomas. By that time, it was then owned by the Philippine Radio Educational and Information Center, Inc.[1]
November 29, 1970 – Pope Paul VI, on his pastoral visit to the country, blessed Radyo Veritas' studios with PresidentFerdinand E. Marcos in attendance.[1]
November 23, 1978 – Radyo Veritas reassigned to its new frequency of 846 kHz due to the implementation of 9 kHz spacing for medium-wave stations as stipulated by the Geneva Frequency Plan of 1975, superseding the 10 kHz NARBA spacing rule.
August 21, 1983 – Radyo Veritas covered the assassination of former Senator Benigno Aquino Jr. Radio Veritas personnel were stationed at the then Manila International Airport, and news surrounding the shooting were aired live. It was also the only station to broadcast the senator's funeral procession from Santo Domingo Church to Manila Memorial Park, with two million people lining the streets.
February 22–25, 1986 – Radyo Veritas kept local and overseas audiences informed of events related to the People Power Revolution, after Archbishop of ManilaJaime Cardinal Sin called on the Filipinos to support Defense MinisterJuan Ponce Enrile and Philippine Constabulary Chief Lt. General Fidel V. Ramos who had defected from the Marcos government. The three-day peaceful revolution eventually removed Marcos from power and installed Corazon Aquino as the eleventh President. Despite the blow-by-blow airing of the events during the EDSA revolt, several armed groups forced to destroy Radyo Veritas' transmitter in Malolos, Bulacan, of which several personnel were hurt. By the same year, Radio Veritas awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Award for Journalism, Literature, and Creative Communication Arts for the station's role in delivering timely events during the 4-day revolution.[2]
May 17, 1991 – Radyo Veritas was acquired by the Global Broadcasting System from the original owner, Radio Veritas Asia of PREIC, and at the same time it began its commercial operations as DZNN, known as Kaibigang Totoo (Your True Friend) and The Spirit of the Philippines.

Ana among others.
June 15, 1991 – Radyo Veritas covered the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. Radio Veritas personnel were stationed at Zambales, Tarlac and Pampanga and broadcast news of the volcanic eruption and damage brought by lahar that killed 847 people.
2005 – A new management took over the operations of Radyo Veritas. It launched its new logo and new programs centered on faith and religion. The longest-running station ID jingle of Radyo Veritas was retained (except for the ZNN part).
April 2007 – DZRV-Radyo Veritas launched its own website (veritas846.ph) in a bid to further expand its reach in promoting the Catholic faith and teachings through different media portals.
2008 – DZRV-Radyo Veritas established its Kapanalig Radio Community to further engage its listeners and deepen its vision and mission as the station for truth and evangelization.
April 2018 – Veritas 846 was rebranded from Radyo Totoo to Ang Radyo ng Simbahan (lit. The Station of the Church) as part of the station's mission to strengthen the faith of the Catholic faithful in the country, and as preparation for the station's 50th anniversary in 2019 and the 500th anniversary of the establishment of the Catholic Church in the Philippines in 2021.[3]
April 2019 – Veritas 846 launched its official station jingle, on the 50th anniversary of the said station, entitled Manatili ka sa‘min (lit. Stay with us), performed by former X-Factor UK contestant Alisah Bonaobra.

March 2020 – DZRV-Radyo Veritas and TV Maria launched its regular daily masses on radio, television and Facebook live streaming to the local and overseas audiences, following of the suspension of Catholic mass services as Luzon undergoes a month-long enhanced community quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic from March 17 to May 31.[4]
