History

Background

In 1992, a tri-partite Memorandum of Agreement was signed by Word Broadcasting Corporation, together with two private management companies managed the marketing, programming and production of DYDW-FM. Later on, it was known as Citylite 89.1—"The Light of the City"; then it adopted the X89.1 brand in April 2004.

The station became known as Power 89.1 in 2005 under the company's direct management. It has become an alternative music station to other popularity-oriented stations; it is also distinctly Catholic-oriented in its taste in music and above all, in its messages. Added to that is the fact that it is also created for the purpose of development of people’s attitude to what is genuinely pleasurable and wholesome music as well as the promotion of Christian values.

The station, operating with 10-kW power, covering Cebu City, southern part of Cebu up to Oslob and northern part of Cebu up to Carmen, Lapu-lapu City and Olango Island, as well as Tagbilaran City and coastal road of Bohol.

Most of its popular shows including Great Moments by Cue Breaker, Power Delights by JT, Power Classics by Francis Fulache, Power by Night by Gabriel and The Word Exposed by his eminence Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle. ^[7]
