History.
1975-1998: MRS.
DYNC was Cebu's first FM station established on February 1, 1975 as MRS 101.9 Most Requested Song. It carried an adult contemporary format. It was located along Juana Osmeña, Ext. and later moved to Krizia Bldg. along Gorordo Ave.
1998-2008: Charlie.
On September 1, 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT Beneficial Trust Fund's broadcasting division MediaQuest Holdings, Inc from the consortium of the Yabut family and then House Speaker Manny Villar, the station was reformatted as "Charlie @ Rhythms 101.9", with a Top 40 format. On August 1, 2005, the "Rhythms" tag was dropped and adopted the slogan "Get your Groove On". At the same time, it reformatted into a Smooth AC station. However, in 2008, lack of advertisers' and financial problems led to 101.9 Charlie's closure of operations in Cebu after 33 years of broadcasting.
