History
On August 27, 1987, DXRA was attacked by the New People's Army, in what became known as the DXRA Massacre, resulting in nine deaths.[http://www.gmanews.tv/story/170888/army-men-in-davao-city-vow-to-protect-journalists Army men in Davao City vow to protect journalists | News | GMA News Online | The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere][https://durianburgdavao.com/2009/08/27/davao-city-remembers-1987-dxra-massacre/ Davao City remembers 1987 DXRA MASSACRE][http://archives.pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p100708.htm&no=78 Commentary: Army supports press freedom, condemns killings and human rights violations]
In 2012, DXRA became part of the Radyo ni Juan network under the helm of the late broadcaster Dodong Solis.[http://davaotoday.com/main/human-rights/media/dodong-solis-davaos-crusading-radio-broadcaster-dies/ Dodong Solis, Davao’s crusading radio broadcaster, dies] It served as its flagship station throughout its existence.
On December 31, 2020, the station, along with most of Radyo ni Juan stations, went off the air due to financial problems.[https://www.newsfort.ph/visayan-edition/mga-trabahante-sa-radyo-ni-juan-nabalaka-sa-matud-pa-pagsirado/ Mga trabahante sa Radyo ni Juan nabalaka sa matud pa pagsirado]
