History
The station was established on March 1, 1987, as Z105 under the call letters DYMZ. On April 4, 1994, UM Broadcasting Network acquired the station from Capricorn Production & Management Corporation and changed its branding to 105.9 Wild FM and call letters to DYWC. It carried a dance-leaning Top 40 format. On May 1, 2000, UMBN Audiovisual Communicators acquired the station rebranded it as Monster Radio BT 105.9 and changed its call letters to DYBT. It carries a mainstream Top 40 format. In 2016, the station transferred from Mango Square Mall to its current location in East Aurora Tower and adopted its current slogan "Cebu's Hottest", the catchphrase used by its flagship station in Manila.
