DXRL (101.5 FM) is a radio station owned and operated by Nation Broadcasting Corporation, a sister company of TV5 Network Inc. It currently serves as a relay station of True FM (formerly Radyo5) in Manila. The station's transmitter is located along Ramon Chavez St., Cagayan de Oro.[1]
History
[edit]The station began operations in 1976 as MRS 101.5, airing an adult contemporary format. In 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, the station rebranded as Sandy @ Rhythms 101.5 (later on shortened to Sandy 101.5) and switched to a Top 40 format.[2][3]
In 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it became a relay station of DWFM 92.3 Manila, which was branded as Radyo5 and specifically the News FM sub-brand, later transitioning to True FM in 2023. On November 4, 2024, it transitioned to become a relay station of DWLA 105.9 Manila, where the flagship True FM programming transferred, as part of the rebranded True Network. It is one of the two radio stations to be retained by Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) despite its lease-to-own agreement with Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC) regarding most NBC-owned radio stations, with the other being based in Cebu.[4][5][6]
