History

Established on 1974, DXVM was the first RMN station and the pioneer FM station in the city. It began its broadcasting on November 1, 1976, as 99.1 VM-FM, carrying a CHR/Top 40 format together with other RMN FM stations across the country, excluding DWHB in Baguio (which they carrying smooth jazz format) and DYXL in Cebu (which they carrying easy listening format). On August 16, 1992, the station was relaunched as Smile Radio 99.1 with the slogan "The Voice of Music". It was one of few Smile Radio station with the same format, along with DYHT in Bacolod.[4][5] On November 23, 1999, Smile Radio was rebranded as 991 VMFM (pronounced as "nine-nine-one") with its slogan "Live It Up!". On May 16, 2002, after almost 2 decades of being CHR/Top 40 station in CDO, the station was relaunched once more as 99.1 iFM and switched to a mass-based format.[6][7]
