History
DYCM was founded in 1989 as "Kaabag sa Banikanhon Kaugmaran", then "Kaabag sa Serbisyo" and "Bag-ong Adlaw - Cebu Del Norte", under the ownership of Masbate Community Broadcasting Corporation. It was formerly located at Brgy. Taytayan, Bogo, Cebu. In early 2014, it went off the air and its ownership was transferred to Makati Broadcasting Company, a media outlet owned by former Bogo Mayor Celestino Martinez. DYCM was relaunch on July 8, 2014 on its current home in Cebu City. Since then, its relay station was launched on its old location.
