History

Baycomms Broadcasting Corporation was founded in 1992, with DWTY 93.5 in Olongapo City & DXBY 89.9 in Zamboanga City.

Financial struggles would later hound the network as within the late 2000s, a number of Bay Radio stations were either sold to other networks or continue with operation cuts. Among those were DXRK Cagayan de Oro, which was sold to Hypersonic Broadcasting Center in 2011 & became Magnum Radio 99.9, and DXYM General Santos, which became the nucleus of Brigada News FM in 2009.

In February 2013, Baycomms was acquired by Brigada Mass Media Corporation. Soon, its stations started carrying the brand Brigada News FM.
