DWEY (104.7 FM), branded as 104.7 Brigada News FM National-Mega Manila, is a news and music FM radio station owned and operated by Brigada Mass Media Corporation in the Philippines. The main broadcast studio, news center and marketing offices are located at the 5th Floor Jacinta Building 2, #1840 EDSA, Brgy. Guadalupe Nuevo, Makati City, and its transmitter is located at Brgy. Talumpok East, Mt. Banoy, Batangas City.

It is heard in major areas in Metro Manila, Bulacan, Pampanga, Zambales, Rizal, Cavite, Laguna, Quezon Province, Marinduque, Camarines Norte and most of Mindoro and Romblon. However, because of frequency spacing rules that bars Metro Manila from adding new stations within the market, Batangas served as the station's broadcast core and license area.

It was formerly known as Bay Radio 104.7, the second FM radio station in Batangas, owned by Baycomms Broadcasting Corporation, launched in 1998, operating everyday from 4 am to 12 midnight.

One of the notable activities of the station was its Hataw sa Tag-Araw done every February to June where its regular programming switches to summer-oriented shows. 2013 was its last iteration prior to acquisition.

In October 1, 2013, the station became part of Brigada Mass Media Corporation's acquisition and 100% gradual take-over of Baycomms Broadcasting Corporation then later underwent a soft launch with the borrowed Brigada News FM and Healthline plugs and stingers effective October 28. On February 1, 2014, 104.7 FM underwent a test broadcast with the acquisition of better transmitting facilities. On February 24, 2014, 104.7 FM formally relaunched as Brigada News FM.
