Background

Sometime in 1980, DWXT made its test broadcast. The station started its full blast operations on January 1, 1981, under the ownership of Filipinas Broadcasting Network. Jesus Viduya served as the pioneer station manager from 1981 to 1982; Ben Arzaga would later take over the duties as station manager until 1986. During its first years of operations, DWXT had its freeform musical format sans regular disk jockeys on board. Back then, the trainees were the ones who handled the station's programming; the station's musical format varies depending on whoever he or she is on board. In 1983, Filipinas Broadcasting Network sold the station to Radio Corporation of the Philippines. In 1986, under the leadership of Bobby Barreiro together with RCP Operations Manager, Eugene Ramos, the station's sales had significantly improved. Bobbit Sanches was hired as the new program supervisor in the same year, in which he made significant changes to the station. Upon the turn of the new millennium, under the management of Francis L. Cardona, the station adopted the One FM branding and became the No. 1 radio station in Tarlac for 10 straight years.
