History

The station was established in 1959 as DXJW under 1010 kHz. It was owned by Alto Broadcasting System of Antonio Quirino and James Lindenberg, which became ABS-CBN in 1967. On September 23, 1972, it was among the stations closed down by the government. The following year, it returned on air, this time under its current call letters and current ownership.
