The station first went on the air on December 22, 2010 as CitiBeat 102.3 FM, months after the demise of Lipa's sole radio station D'Best 98.5. At that time, the station was housed at the 3rd floor of the JR Business Complex in Brgy. Mataas na Lupa. Among its inaugural personalities were Ron Lozano (now with DWIZ), Zeus Corneja (now-deceased), Cristina Parrientes, and Amor Santiago (now with 98.5 Cool FM).

On its first months of operation, CitiBeat was embattled with criticism from other stations in the market due to the signal feed spreading out to their frequencies within the city. By 2013, the problem has been resolved, but the offset issues still persisted near the station complex as its signals occupy 102.5 FM and 103.1 FM on some hotspots.

In March 2012, the station launched its first singing contest for radio, branded as Radyo Istariray, which featured aspiring singers who vied for prizes from station sponsors. However, by June 2012, sponsorship issues forced the station to shelve the contest, after its first mall show with the contestants' entries went unnoticed by the station.

On March 15, 2023, CitiBeat signed off the air for the last time. Radyo Natin Lemery was heard on this frequency during the meantime.

In April 2023, the station returned on air, this time as Tricab Infinite Radio under the management of Lipa-based Tricab Media Production. It became the second FM broadcaster in the city to be operated under an airtime lease by a digital media company after ABN 89.5.
