History

  • The station began its operations in 1977 as DXSS-FM 97.9, as an affiliate of GMA Network. It aired an AOR format.[4]
  • In 1995, GMA ended its partnership with SBN and DXSS rebranded as Music Now. The station aired an Adult Top 40 format.
  • In 2002, the station became as Mom's Radio 97.9. Dedicated to the mothers and mothers-to-be listeners in Davao City.
  • In 2010, it rebranded as DXSS 97.9 with limited broadcast time.
  • In November 2015, Mom's Radio 97.9 returned on air, this time via satellite from Manila.[5]
  • On February 25, 2018, the station went off the air (along with its provincial stations) due to financial constraints.
  • In June 2022, the station returned on air after Y2H Broadcasting Network took over the entire operations and rebranded it as XFM with a news and music format. It initially served as a relay station of Tagum City-based 100.7 FM.
  • On October 4, 2022, XFM Davao and XFM Tagum respectively swapped non-license assets. The former became an originating station, while the latter has been downgraded to a relay station of Davao.
  • XFM Davao completed its full migration to an originating station on October 19, 2022, when the station held a grand opening of its studios and offices at the SBN compound, along Broadcast Ave., Shrine Hills, Brgy. Matina Crossing.
  • In early-2023, Davao-based independent news media outlet Newsline Philippines began blocktiming the station's late night slot for their flagship web newscast Newsline Evening News.
