History

The company was established in 1986 as the SBS Radio Network Inc. (Sarao Broadcasting Systems), co-owned by the Sarao family (owner of Las Piñas-based Sarao Motors) and the Vera family (original owners of FBS Radio Network). [2] In 1992, Luis and Leonida Vera's eldest son, Atty. Jose Luis Vera, took full control of the company and renamed it as Quest Broadcasting Inc. [3]

On April 2013, all Killerbee stations in regional areas started carrying the Magic branding (adopted from its Manila flagship station).

On early 2020s, most of its regional stations were leased to different management leaving DXEL in Zamboanga as the sole regional station of Magic Nationwide.
