History

The station was formerly located in Bacolod from its inception in 1997 to April 2011, when it relocated to Iloilo City.^[1] In September 2016, it moved its frequency from 92.7 FM to 105.9 FM for better signal reception.

On April 8, 2017, at 12:55 am, the station was damaged by fire started beside the station studio. The station's transmitter was believed to have been damaged by heat from the fire. It was declared fire out around an hour past 2am. A few days later after the fire incident, the station resumed its broadcast.
