History
1995–2013: Primax Era
From 1995 to 2013, it was under Primax Broadcasting Network. It used to be a pop/rock masa radio station, with main concentration on OPM alternative and rock artists. By 1998, the station switch to mainstream Top 40 programming under the K91 brand, playing the most popular songs in Billboard Hot 100 and UK Top 40. By 2001, to differ from other pop stations, the radio station shifted to Adult Top 40 programming by adding music of the 80s and 90s to their playlist.
By 2003, the station affiliated with Raven Broadcasting Corporation in Manila. It was known then as Citylite 91.5. After a year, the station ceased to be an affiliate with Raven Broadcasting Corporation as, Raven changed management. Citylite changed name to Smooth FM 91.5 but continued playing the smooth jazz format. It went off the air sometime in 2013.
