This station was formerly owned by Cagayan de Oro Media Corporation under the brand Media Higala from 2010 to 2012, when it went off the air. In 2014, RMC Broadcasting Corporation bought the station and rebranded it as Radyo ni Juan Northern Mindanao. On September 2017, the Rural Missionaries of the Philippines-Northern Mindanao Region took over the operations of the station and rebranded to Radyo Lumad. Nonetheless, it still carries news and commentaries from the Radyo ni Juan network every morning, while carrying local programming for the rest of the day.
