History
1995–2013: Primax Era
The station was established under Primax Broadcasting Network in 1995 as K91. It had an Adult Top 40 format. In 1998, it became an affiliate of Raven Broadcasting Corporation in Manila and rebranded as Citylite 91.5 with a smooth jazz format. In early 2000, after it ended its affiliation with RBC, it rebranded as Smooth FM 91.5. It went off the air sometime in 2013.
2015–present: Brigada Era
In early 2015, Brigada Mass Media Corporation acquired the station from Primax Broadcasting Network and became part of the Brigada News FM network. The station's old transmitter was replaced with a new transmitter bought from Quark Electronics of Italy. Regular programming was first aired on August 10, 2015. In time for the 30th Kadayawan Festival, on August 23, 2015, Brigada News FM was formally launched. Mayor Inday Sara Duterte, Brigada Group of Companies President Elmer Catulpos, and other Brigada officials were present in the occasion.
