DYPC started its broadcast on June 16, 2013, on 91.8 MHz as a college station of Mandaue City College, an unrecognized and unaccredited private higher education institution owned by Dr. Paulus Mariea L. Cañete. It was known as Cebu's very first campus-based broadcast station when our intention is to broadcast information that educates the public, especially young people and students from around the world aside from music and news at that time. Recently, the station ended its broadcast in late-2014. [2]
On February 3, 2015, DYPC returned on-air on 91.9 MHz, this time under Mandaue Broadcasting Center. The station started carrying a music and news programming, airing news and talk in the morning and music for the rest of the day. At that time, DYPC carried the tagline as "Way Unay!" (lit. like no other). [3]
On August 26, 2015, the station was closed down by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for allegedly operating without permit. On August 28, 2015, it resumed its broadcast despite the said warning. [4]
On September 19, 2017, DYPC changed its new frequency to 88.7 MHz as approved by the NTC. Since then, it became an affiliate station of Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation, owner of DYLA. In December 2017, DYPC upgraded its transmitting power to 5,000 watts for better signal reception.
In December 2019, the station went off the air for the second time following their non-renewal of permit to operate radio station. However, DYPC resurfaced as an online platform via Facebook.
A non-commercial educational station is a radio station or television station that does not accept on-air advertisements, as defined in the United States by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and was originally intended to offer educational programming as part, or whole, of its programming.

Stations which are almost always operated as NCE include public broadcasting, community radio, and college radio, as well as many religious broadcasting stations. Nearly all Non-Commercial radio stations derive their support from listener support, grants and endowments, such as the governmental entity Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) that distributes supporting funds provided by Congress to support Public Radio.
