History

The station was established in 1988, airing an AOR format. At that time, its studio and transmitter were located at Crown Bldg. along 6th Rd., North Recl. Area.

In 2001, it rebranded as First FM 88.3 with an Adult Top 40 format.

In late 2003, the station rebranded as Mom's Radio 88.3 with a music and talk format targeting the mothers and mother-to-be. It transferred its studio to Krizia Bldg. along Gorordo Ave.

In 2010, it rebranded as simply DYAP, playing only a variety of music with limited broadcast time. It relocated to its transmitter site in San Carlos Heights.

In November 2015, Mom's Radio returned on air, this time via satellite from Manila under the management of Makati-based Estima, Inc. On February 25, 2018, all Mom's Radio stations went off the air due to financial constraints. [4]

In September 2022, Y2H Broadcasting Network took over the station's operations and rebranded it as XFM with a news and music format. It began test broadcast on January 26, 2023, along with a newly installed 10,000-watt transmitter from DB Elettronica of Italy for better signal reception in Metro Cebu and nearby islands. [5]

On February 13, 2023, XFM Cebu debuted its own slate of local programming.

On March 20, 2023, XFM Cebu was officially launched with a motorcade and a free concert at the Brgy. Cogon Ramos Gymnasium, featuring performances from Jay-R Siaboc and Rommel Tuico.
