History

By early 1970s, DXMB-AM, probably the second radio station both in Malaybalay [8] and in Bukidnon, [9] then at 610 kHz and with 1-kW power, [9] was being operated along Claro M. Recto Ave.; its franchise was owned by the Lopez family [8] through Eduardo Lopez & Co., and operated by Ruta Broadcasting, [10] also owned by Eduardo. [11] The station used custom-built equipment. [10]

The station became the only operating in the municipality [10] [12] since Catholic-run DXBB-AM was closed by the government in 1976 yet its license had never been revoked. (The latter would be relaunched as present-day DXDB-AM in 1991.) [8] Its frequency was transferred in 1978 to present-day 648 kHz. [12]

By the end of 1970s, Malaybalay-based Ruta [13] had at least six AM radio stations; the rest were located in Visayas. [lower-alpha 1]

The patriarch later decided to sell the station as he can no longer manage it. In 1980, the station was acquired by the Radio Mindanao Network. [8] Ruta though remained as the station's sales representative by 1990. [17] The station's power was increased to 5 kW by 1990s. [13] [18]

Unlike other RMN AM radio stations primarily focusing on news, commentaries and public affairs, the station has its unique programming focusing on entertainment, mainly on drama. [8]
