History

1993–2011: NU 107

The station went on the air in April 1993 as a test broadcast under the ownership of Progressive Broadcasting Corporation. In August 1993, NU 107 was launched and adopted a smooth jazz format with its first slogan Soft Wave, competing with Magic 90.7 (now Brigada News FM). At that time, their studios were located at the 14th floor of Sundowner Centerpoint Hotel in Plaridel St.

Dubbed itself as "Cebu's Rock Radio" in May 1994, NU 107 shifted to a modern rock format before it rebranded as "The Home of New Rock" two years later. By the end of 1997, the station moved its studios to the Ayala Center Cebu.

In 2002, it downgraded into a relay station of DWNU in Manila. It only lasted until 2009, when it returned to its local programming. In February 2011, NU 107 quietly signed off on terrestrial radio and went off the air for a week. Few months later, NU 107 Cebu began its transition into a digital-only internet station and events.

2011–present: Win Radio

On March 4, 2011, the station returned on-air as 107.5 Win Radio under ZimZam Management. With this, it became a "more decent streaming frequency" with "responsible programming" avoiding songs with "double meaning". [5] [6]

In 2016, after House Bill No. 5982 [7] was passed into law, Mabuhay Broadcasting System acquired the provincial stations of PBC.
