History


DZYL-FM/DZYK-FM/DZMM-FM (1956–1972)

DZYL-FM 102 MHz, later named DZYK-FM 102.1 MHz, was the first FM radio station in the Philippines and sole FM station of the former Chronicle Broadcasting Network (CBN). It was founded in 1956 and played the latest songs of that era. In 1957, CBN bought Alto Broadcasting System (ABS), resulting in a merger under the name Bolinao Electronics Corporation, which was changed in 1967 to ABS-CBN Broadcasting Corporation. Staffed by eight DJs, the station was popularized to listeners in the

It was staffed by Jing Magsaysay, Wayne Enage, Ed Picson, Dody Lacuna, Ronnie Malig, Pinky Villarama and Ronnie Quintos.

Knock Out Radio (1986–1987)

During the 1986 People Power Revolution, the government-controlled radio and TV stations were stormed by reformist rebels and DWOK, DWAN (formerly known as DWWA) and BBC-2 were dissolved, and in July, after the fall of the Marcos regime, the newly formed Presidential Commission on Good Governance returned DWOK together with DWWW (630 kHz) to ABS-CBN. DWOK changed its callsign to DWKO and resumed broadcasting on a test basis on July 16. Lito Balquiedra Jr., Vice-President for Radio, spearheaded the return of the network to the local broadcasting scene. The station's former disc jockey

Zoo FM (1987–1989)

The following day, March 1, 1987, the station was reformatted as Zoo FM 101.9 (DZOO-FM; read as D-Z-double O-FM), with a diamond logo and a slightly uptrend pop sound. The jingles used for the station were produced by JAM Creative Productions. Its slogan was ''Hayop Talaga!'' and it was manned by a group of eight DJs including George Boone, Jeremiah Jr., Bob Curry, Bill O'Brien, Andy Santillan (aka Dave Ryan, later known as "The Unbeatable"), and Joe Monkey. The station played

Radio Romance (1989–1996)

At 6:00 am on July 16, 1989, the station was again reformatted to what became known as 101.9 Radio Romance (RR), playing all easy-listening love songs except for a Sunday OPM program. At first all the DJs were female, including Amy Perez; it became the first FM station to implement the technological innovation of originating playlists from compact discs. That year also signaled the station's first nationwide reach when 103.1 MHz Baguio simulcasted its signals, ensuring uninterrupted listening for travelers from Manila to as far north as Ilocos Sur; in the early 1990s it began simulcasting via satellite to stations across the country. "Radio Romance" became the title of a theme song for the station composed by

WRR 101.9 (1996–2009)

music station branded WRR 101.9. It also became the first FM radio station to be fully broadcast in Filipino language, in order to compete with rival English-language FM stations such as GMA Network's Campus Radio 97.1 WLS, Magic 89.9 and 99.5 RT. (Prior to the adoption of masa format, all FM stations were English-based.) By the end of that year, all ABS-CBN FM stations had switched from English to their native languages. WRR's initial slogan was ''All the Hits, All the Time!''. On November 2, 1998, it adopted the tagline ''For Life!'' (derived from a co-owned station in Cebu), which emphasized that the DJs entertain the listeners' normal lives. In late 1999, DWRR's transmitting equipment moved from the ABS-CBN Broadcast Center that had been used before martial law to a new transmitter tower at the Eugenio Lopez Center in Antipolo because of the upgrading of the Millennium Transmitter. In July 2005, the WRR brand was dropped from the name and the station adopted the slogan ''Alam Mo Na 'Yan!'' (You Already Know It!). In November 2008, the slogan was changed again to ''Bespren!'' (Bestfriend!). The station had its last broadcast under the 101.9 For Life! brand on September 19, 2009, and underwent a transition period playing automated music in preparation for a relaunch of DWRR-FM's new branding on October 1, 2009. However, due to the effects of Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in Manila, the rebrand was postponed for a month, while the station temporarily went under the name "ABS-CBN 101.9 FM" or simply "101.9". The DJs resumed live spiels at the top of the hour, but did not mention any brand or slogan.


Tambayan (2009–2013)

At 9:00 pm on November 4, 2009, there was an audiovisual presentation about the history of DWRR. Afterwards, the station was relaunched as Tambayan 101.9 (''tambayan'' is the

word for "hangout") starting with the theme song and live debut at a venue in Makati. Tambayan launched its video streaming, called Tambayan TV, where DJs are seen live from the booth. Between songs, information plugs were seen (such as Tambayan's Slumbook). Just like DZMM Teleradyo, plugs were also aired during commercial gaps. Tambayan TV is aired 24 hours over the Internet. The station was also launched via

technology. In mid-May 2013, the ''Tambayan'' brand was dropped and was reverted back again to simply "101.9" for another transition period signifying another rebrand.


MOR For Life! (2013–2020)

At midnight on July 8, 2013, 101.9 FM rebranded as MOR 101.9 My Only Radio For Life!. Regular programming began at 5:00 am, with Joco Loco, Maki Rena and Eva Ronda as the first jocks to go on board. DJs from WRR 101.9 For Life! (Toni, China Heart, Reggie Valdez, Martin D., and Geri) were still part of the on-air team, as well as DJs from the former Tambayan 101.9 roster: Charlie, Jasmin, Arnold Rei, Bea, ChaCha (Czarina Marie Balba), and Onse (Onse Tolentino). The rebranding created a unified brand under MOR for ABS-CBN's FM radio stations nationwide and reverted to the "For Life" slogan first used during the WRR 101.9 For Life! era. At the same time, the station pioneered the face of drama broadcasting on the FM band by launching the daily drama anthology program ''Dear MOR''. In June 2018, MOR Manila and its regional stations announced a further rebrand as MOR Philippines, to connect 101.9 and its provincial stations with unified program brands and strong music choices; thus, the new tagline "One Vibe, One Sound." National programming blocks began on August 11, 2018, with the launch of ''Dyis Is It'' and ''MOR Presents'' with David Bang. On June 1, 2019, MOR 101.9 video streaming moved to Sky Cable Channel 239 from Sony Channel Asia. It could also be seen on Channel 240 (MOR 97.1 Cebu) and Channel 241 (MOR 103.1 Baguio). In March 2020, in response to COVID-19 enhanced quarantine regulations and their effects on staffing, the station implemented a scaled-down programming operation; it also began a hookup with its sister AM-station
