History
Z Radio started as University of Baguio's official radio station in 2006. Many years later, they upgraded the facilities to serve the public outside the campus, from hiring newly graduated UB Broadcasting and Journalism students to restructuring their facilities to cover not only all of Baguio, but also Benguet. They have several public service-themed programs and occasional PIA and KBP's Kapihan, a public forum.
In 2017, they hired Totoy Bugoy, formerly of 103.9 iFM Baguio as program manager to reformat their programs. Then the station hosted several public service programs. Restructuring the programs due to departing of James Dean Jr and other seasonal hosts.
In 2018, Z Radio hired former Bombo Radyo Baguio reporters and newscasters Franklin Torres and Victor Decoy. Recently, they hired Gorgeous M, the voice behind DZST
As of present, they were open for advertisements from local companies. ORGANO was one of their advertisers.
