History

In February 2020, the City Government launched an emergency-centric community station under the identity of "Davao City Disaster Radio". Prior to the launch, the city government announced its intention to establish a community station with a purpose of disseminating vital information on disasters and emergency preparedness.[2][3]

The station was officially launched on February 3, 2020 with a guest presence from Davao City Mayor Sara Duterte.[4][5]

On the second quarter of 2021, the station's studios were transferred to the City Hall Annex Building, Magallanes, Davao City.
