History
The station was inaugurated in 1992 as KP-FM 89.7 under Westwind Broadcasting Corporation. At that time, it was located in Roxas, Capiz. In 1994, it moved its frequency from 89.7 FM to 97.3 FM. In 1998, it moved to Boracay & rebranded as B97 or Boracay 97. However, in 2000, it ceased broadcasting due to lack of advertisers.
In 2010, Interactive Broadcast Media acquired the station and relaunched it under the Dream FM Network.[https://www.philstar.com/business/motoring/2011/03/09/663915/turbo-time-now-1067-dream-fm Turbo Time now on 106.7 Dream FM] In July 2011, it went off the air. However, in September 2011, it returned on air, this time as Boracay Beach Radio. Its programs from Dream FM were carried to this station.[https://www.clickthecity.com/uncategorized/article/34753/escape-to-the-beach-with-boracay-beach-radio/ Escape to the Beach with Boracay Beach Radio]{{Dead link|date=April 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}
