History

• The station was inaugurated by Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation on May 1, 1976, under the call letters DYLA-FM. At that time, it carried the branding as LA 93.1 with its slogan Your Lovely Alternative, airing a easy listening format.
• In 1992, it changed its call letters to DYWF and rebranded as Smash FM 93.1, aired a Modern Rock format.
• In September 1997, Mareco Broadcasting Network acquired the station's airtime lease and relaunched it as 93.1 Crossover with a Smooth AC format. At the time MBNI took operations, Crossover went on the air on 93.1 FM.
• In 2003, Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation took full control of the station and renamed the station back to Smash FM 93.1 with the same format. Meanwhile, Crossover moved to the then-newly acquired 90.7 FM, which was formerly owned by UBSI.
• On September 1, 2009, Smash FM 93.1 was officially rebranded as Club Radio 93.1, becoming the city's first and only FM radio station playing an all-dance format.
• In February 2013, the station rebranded back to Smash FM and switched to a mass-based format.
• On July 27, 2013, Brigada Mass Media Corporation, owner of Brigada Newspaper & its flagship station in General Santos, took over the station's operations and relaunched the station as 93.1 Brigada News FM under the helm of former RMN Cebu and DYKC radio announcer, station manager of the station, current Area Manager for Visayas and founder of ANAKK Inc., Raul del Prado. It was formally launched on October 1, 2013.
• In August 2022, the station transferred its transmitter site from Winland Tower Condominium along Juana Osmeña Ext. to Mt. Busay for better reception.
• In May 2023, two months before the expiration of Brigada's lease with this frequency, Brigada News FM Cebu transferred to Mareco Broadcasting Network-owned 90.7 FM, following the transfer of its broadcast facilities to Uptown Residences in Brgy. Guadalupe. From May 15 to June 17, 90.7 FM simulcasted this frequency during the afternoon and overnight shifts.
• On June 18, 2023, after Brigada News FM Cebu shifted its full-time operations to 90.7 FM, this frequency was downgraded to a repeater of the latter until August 14, 2023, when it went off the air.
• In January 2024, the Philippine Collective Media Corporation took over the station's operations. It had its official launch on January 13 under the FM Radio Network with a concert held at Gaisano Mall of Cebu.
