History

The station began operations in 1978 as MRS 102.3, airing an adult contemporary format. In 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, the station rebranded as Jesse @ Rhythms 102.3 and switched to a Top 40 format. In 2005, the name was shortened to 102.3 Jesse as the station switched to an urban contemporary format.

On February 21, 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it became a relay station of Radyo5 92.3 News FM in Metro Manila. On November 4, 2024, it was rebranded to Favorite Music Radio (FMR), continuing as a relay of DWFM Manila as part of an agreement between Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC), under which PCMC will acquire most of NBC's radio assets and frequencies, except for its stations in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro.{{cite news|url=https://bilyonaryo.com/2024/10/27/from-dzmm-to-radyo5-dwfm-prime-media-scoops-up-radio-assets-of-mvp-group/business/|title=From DZMM to Radyo5-DWFM: Prime Media scoops up radio assets of MVP Group|work=Bilyonaryo|date=October 27, 2024|access-date=October 27, 2024}}{{cite news|url=https://www.bworldonline.com/corporate/2024/10/29/631169/nbc-pcmc-in-radio-asset-transfer-talks/|title=NBC, PCMC in radio asset transfer talks|publisher=BusinessWorld|date=October 29, 2024|accessdate=October 29, 2024}}{{cite news|url= https://bilyonaryo.com/2024/10/28/lipat-bahay-mvp-moves-radyo5-true-fm-to-another-station-as-pcmc-takes-over-92-3-frequency/business/|title=Lipat bahay: MVP moves Radyo5-True FM to another station as PCMC takes over 92.3 frequency|work=Bilyonaryo|date=October 28, 2024}} This became the second Favorite Music Radio in Baguio under PCMC, after FM Radio Baguio 94.3, which was an originating station until it was discontinued on May 15, 2025 by PCMC management.
