Profile edit
The station was established in 1997 as Bay Radio in Koronadal. In 2003, the station transferred to Bernabe Coliseum along J. Catolico Ave., General Santos, the former home of DXRE and DXOO.
In October 18, 2009, during its 4th foundation anniversary, Brigada News bought the station's operations under a leasing agreement and became the nucleus of Brigada News FM. It introduced a mix of AM's news and public affairs with traditional FM programming anchored by personalities from various radio networks in the local market. In 2011, Brigada News FM became the most listened radio station in the city. At the same year, it moved to its current home in Brigada Complex, NLSA Road. In 2013, Brigada acquired station owner Baycomms, making it official as an O&O station.
