History
The station was inaugurated in 1997 as ABS-CBN Radio under the callsign DYAB-FM, followed by launching of DYAB-TV. A year later, it was renamed as Prostar, along with selected regional stations. In 2001, all of ABS-CBN and Prostar radio stations renamed as MOR (My Only Radio) on the new callsign DYTC. It become No. 1 in Tacloban due to its positive feedback and comments.[1]
Amid the Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) last November 8, 2013, the station simulcasted the radio programs of DZMM Radyo Patrol 630 via satellite from Manila to provide news updates and public service for the survivors of the calamity since many homes in Leyte have no electricity brought about by the typhoon. Since then, it aired a simulcast of TV Patrol Eastern Visayas.
On May 5, 2020, the station, along with the other My Only Radio stations, went off the air due to the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission following the ABS-CBN franchise renewal controversy.[2]
