DYKR (96.7 FM) is a radio station owned by DCG Radio-TV Network and operated by Y2H Broadcasting Network, Inc. It serves as a mirror feed of 90.3 XFM. Both stations share studio and transmitter are located at Puentebella Subdivision, Brgy. Taculing, Bacolod. [1] [2]

History

The station was established in 1993 by Exodus Broadcasting Company as one of the provincial WRock stations. After its Manila flagship station was acquired by Manila Broadcasting Company on October 6, 2008, the station was relaunched as a separate entity from WRocK Online. In May 2010, due to lack of resources and financial challenges, WRocK Online, along with the station, went off the air. [3]

On November 18, 2024, the station transferred its studio from MFC Bldg. in Lacson St. to Brgy. Taculing. and on the same day, it began simulcasting on SBN-owned 90.3 FM.

After XFM Bacolod shifted its fully operations to 90.3 FM on July 18, 2025, the station was downgraded to a mirror feed of 90.3 XFM.
