History

The station began operations in 1976 as MRS 97.5, airing an adult contemporary format. In 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, the station rebranded as Anna @ Rhythms 97.5 (later on shortened to Anna 97.5) and switched to a Top 40 format. In 2009, it rebranded as WAV FM. On February 21, 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it was became a relay station of 92.3 Radyo5 in Manila which later in November 4, 2024 became 105.9 True FM. On November 4, 2024 it became relay station of FM Radio Manila 92.3 as part of its agreement in which PCMC will acquire most of NBC radio assets and frequencies, except for its Cebu and Cagayan de Oro stations.[2] [3] [4]
