On October 1st, 1994, then-channel New Vision 9 reverted back to its old brand Radio Philippines Network with the tagline "RPN, The Network". A station ID was associated with the network's slogan at the time focusing on the Philippines, as well as the terms of entertaining, informing, and serving, and the designation of the network became the second network in full stereo, following ABC 5.
