History

1996-2014: Campus Radio 103.5/Wow FM

The station, along with sister station DXGM, was inaugurated on March 9, 1996, as Campus Radio 103.5 with its slogan "Forever". It aired an Top 40 format, using an English medium. Powered by the 10,000-watt state of the art digital radio transmitter, its studio was located at Amesco Bldg. along Magsaysay St.

In late 1998, following GMA's acquisition of Channel 5 frequency from ABC (now TV5) during the pre-martial law years, the station changed its slogan to "Nindota Ah", which adapted from its Cebu station. It switched to a mass-based format and changed its medium to Cebuano. [2] On July 29, 2002, it was rebranded as 103.5 Wow FM and modified its slogan "Wow! Nindota Ah!".

2014-present: Barangay FM 103.5

On February 17, 2014, as part of RGMA's brand unification, the station relaunched under the Barangay FM network and carried-over the slogan "Isang Bansa, Isang Barangay". Following the launch, it began simulcasting a handful of programs from its flagship station in Manila. In 2020, the station re-adapted its original slogan "Forever!". [3] [4]
