History

87.5 MHz was used as a temporary frequency of Radyo Pilipinas Davao from February to August 2018, while conducting maintenance and transferring studios to the Mindanao Media Hub, to be located in Davao City.[2]

FM1 Davao, the first regional FM station of PBS and FM1 Manila, was launched on August 1, 2018. It is being led by station manager Harriet Deniel (Joe Fisher); Maurice Abella, marketing manager and former Mix FM and Oomph Radio station manager, Joey Sy-Domingo.[3]

In January 2020, however, the station went off-air for a month. FM1 resumed broadcasting at 87.9 MHz on February 3, 2020, the same date the City Government of Davao took over its former frequency.[4]
