Profile
The station was established in 1992 as Mellow Touch, airing a soft adult contemporary format. In 1997, when FBS Radio Network sold the station to Primax, the station underwent transition under the Smooth Jazz branding, airing a smooth jazz format. Months later, it added soul and R&B to its playlist.
The following year, it was rebranded as City Lite with the tagline "Take it Easy". It was home of Beatbox, which airs only hip hop and R&B. Its notable morning program was The Breakfast Club. The station was an affiliate of Manila-based Raven Broadcasting Corporation, which owns a station with the same name. In 2002, the station cut ties with Raven and rebranded as Smooth FM with the tagline "Your Stress-Free Radio".
In March 2017, Smooth FM 107.1 was reformatted and rebranded as MemoRies FM 107.1, It plays classic hits from the 70s, 80s & 90s, with occasional 60s.
