History
[edit]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 Top 40 format together with other RMN FM stations across the country, excluding DWHB in Baguio (which carried a smooth jazz format) and DYXL in Cebu (which carried an 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, the station was relaunched as 99.1 iFM and switched to a mass-based format. On 2024, it was rebranded as 99.1 iFM News along with some other iFM Mindanao stations.
After the shutdown of ABS-CBN's MOR, iFM took advantage and dominated the airwaves as the undisputed overall number 1 Radio Station in Cagayan de Oro, including social media platforms.[6][7]
