Background.
Sometime in 1980, DWXT made its test broadcast. The station started its full blast operations on January 1, 1981, under the ownership of Filipinas Broadcasting Network, with Mr. Jesus Viduya as the pioneer station manager from 1981 to 1982; and from 1982 to 1986, Mr. Ben Arzaga. During that time, DWXT had its freeform musical format, but with no regular disk jockeys on board. Trainees then were the ones who handled the station's programming, with choice of musical playlist featured in the station varies depending on whoever he or she is onboard. In 1983, Filipinas Broadcasting Network sold the station to Radio Corporation of the Philippines. In 1986, under the leadership of Mr. Bobby Barreiro, the sales of DWXT significantly improved, with the supervision of Mr. Eugene Ramos, who was then the operations manager of RCP. Mr. Bobbit Sanches was installed as the new program supervisor in the same year, which did the station's significant makeover, as well as to improve the station's music format. Upon the turn of the new millennium, when the station was under the helm of Mr. Francis L. Cardona, when it adopted the current One FM branding, and at the same time, it became the No. 1 radio station in Tarlac for 10 straight years.
