History
editThe station was established in 1993 under the Bay Radio network. In 2010, Prime Media Services took over the station's management and rebranded it as Dream Radio. In October 2013, shortly after Baycomms was acquired by Brigada, the station was relaunched as Brigada News FM, with Dream Radio moving to Tagbilaran Broadcasting System-owned 103.1 FM. In 2016, it went off the air due to lack of listeners.
On July 4, 2022, Brigada News FM returned the airwaves as a test broadcast. On July 8, 2023, it was relaunched with its programming and personalities led by former Kaboses Radio anchorman Junel Tomes and former PRTV and FMR 100.7 personality Larry Portillo, who served as its first station manager until his death on July 9, 2023.[3]
