History

Established on July 12, 1963, DXYZ was the first station of Nation Broadcasting Corporation under the helm of Abelardo L. Yabut Sr. It is also the second[ clarification needed ] in Zamboanga City. Its offices and studios were located then in the third floor of Evangelista Building, the tallest in the city by that time. It transmitted then on a 1-kilowatt surplus transmitter from Deeco Electronics through its tower on the building rooftop. Eddie Rodriguez, who later on became the city councilor, was the station's first manager by later part of that year. [6]

It was known as NBC DXYZ Radyo 963 and later on Angel Radyo 963. In 1998, PLDT media subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings bought NBC from the consortium led by the Yabut family and real estate magnate Manny Villar. In 2005, The Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) leader, Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy purchased all of NBC AM radio stations, including DXYZ, and rebranded them as Sonshine Radio.

On mid-December 2023, the station, along with the rest of the network, had its operations suspended by the National Telecommunications Commission for 30 days, through an order dated December 19 but was publicized two days later, in response to a House of Representatives resolution, in relation to the alleged franchise violations.
