DZYB (102.3 FM) is a radio station owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation and operated by Philippine Collective Media Corporation. It currently serves as a relay station of 92.3 FMR in Manila. The station's transmitter is located at Mt. Sto. Tomas, Tuba, Benguet.[1][2]
History
[edit source]The station began operations in 1978 as MRS 102.3, airing an adult contemporary format. In 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, the station rebranded as Jesse @ Rhythms 102.3 and switched to a Top 40 format. In 2005, the name was shortened to 102.3 Jesse as the station switched to an urban contemporary format.
On February 21, 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it became a relay station of Radyo5 92.3 News FM in Metro Manila. On November 4, 2024, it became part of the Favorite Music Radio (FMR) network, albeit continuing as a relay, as part of an agreement between Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) and Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC), under which PCMC will acquire most of NBC's radio assets and frequencies, except for its stations in Cebu and Cagayan de Oro.[3][4][5]
