History
The station first signed on the air on April 19, 1992 as Killerbee 92.3. It carried a Top 40 format with the tagline "Music Mix is Simply Better". On April 26, 2013, Killerbee 92.3 officially signed off. This station, along with the other Killerbee stations, were relaunched under the Magic moniker (adopted from its parent station) by April 29, 2013. [4] [5] On December 27, 2024, Magic 92.3 quietly signed off for the last time and went off the air for a month.
On January 22, 2025, the station returned on-air under Y2H Broadcasting Network, a broadcast company of the Uy family. Y2H already had presence in Cebu by operating nearby station DYAP 88.3 MHz (owned by Southern Broadcasting Network) via airtime lease, and became the local outlet of the XFM Network. It temporarily carried the name Uy FM until March 17, when it was dropped and started carrying the tagline "Something Hot, Something Red" as part of its transition.
On May 18, 2025, Y2H consolidated the station's operations with CHR/Top 40 station Y101, which already entered into separate airtime lease and sales agreements with Y2H since 2024. Upon consolidation, Y101 vacated its long-time Gaisano Mall facilities and began utilizing 92.3 FM's studio and transmitter site. As a result, 92.3 FM became a simulcast of Y101's programming, with this station identifying as RedHotX92 (a nod to Y101's long-time branding) to reflect the change. [6] [7] [8]
