History

1995–2013: K91/City Lite/Smooth FM

The station was established in 1995 as K91. It had an Adult Top 40 format. In 1998, it became an affiliate of Raven Broadcasting Corporation in Manila and rebranded as City Lite 91.5 with a smooth jazz format. In early 2000, after it ended its affiliation with RBC, it rebranded as Smooth FM 91.5. It went off the air sometime in 2013.

2015–2024: Brigada News FM

91.5 Brigada News FM Davao (2015–2024)

In early 2015, Brigada Mass Media Corporation took over the station's operations and became part of the Brigada News FM network. The station's old transmitter was replaced with a new 10,000 watt transmitter bought from Quark Electronics of Italy. Regular programming was first aired on August 10, 2015. In time for the 30th Kadayawan Festival, on August 23, 2015, Brigada News FM was formally launched. Then Davao City Mayor (now Vice President) Inday Sara Duterte, Brigada Group of Companies President Elmer Catulpos, and other Brigada officials were present in the occasion.

In January 2024, Mareco-owned 93.1 FM begin simulcasting this station as part of transition. By this time, Brigada's lease with Primax was set to expire this year.

On March 17, 2024, after Brigada News FM Davao shifted its full-time operations to 93.1 FM, this frequency is downgraded to a repeater of the latter with limited broadcast hours (signing off every 10:00 am).

On April 14, 2024, as part of Brigada's last day of operations on this frequency, Brigada News FM Davao aired a whole day special tribute program and signed off at 12:00 midnight the following day with its final song "Farewell" by Raymond Lauchengco.[citation needed]

2024–present: As unnamed station

In July 2024, it returned on air, this time airing automated music with limited broadcast hours (6:00 am to 6:00 pm).
