It began its broadcasting on November 1, 1976, as 99.1 VM-FM, carrying a Top 40 format together with other RMN FM stations across the country, excluding DWHB in Baguio (which carried a smooth jazz format) and DYXL in Cebu (which carried an easy listening format). On August 16, 1992, the station was relaunched as Smile Radio 99.1 with the slogan "The Voice of Music".
