DXRR was founded in 1960 as DXGE. At that time, it was owned by Liberty Broadcasting Corporation. Tony Vergara, Jimmy Torres and Fred Colas were among the notable personalities of the station. In 1988, the then-newly inaugurated Kalayaan Broadcasting System acquired the station and changed to its current callsign. Its transmitter was formerly located at Malacanang Munong.[6][7]
