DXRV (103.5 FM), broadcasting as Barangay FM 103.5, is a radio station owned and operated by GMA Network. The station's studio and transmitter are located at GMA Complex, Broadcast Ave., Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City.[1]
The station, along with sister station DXGM, was inaugurated on March 9, 1996, as Campus Radio 103.5 with the slogan "Forever". It aired a Top 40 format. Its first home was at Amesco Bldg. along Magsaysay St.[2]
In late 1998, the station switched to a mass-based format and changed its slogan to "Nindota Ah!", adapted from its Cebu station. On July 29, 2002, it rebranded as 103.5 Wow FM and changed its slogan to "Wow! Nindota Ah!".[3]
On February 17, 2014, as part of RGMA's brand unification, the station relaunched under the Barangay FM network and carried-over the slogan "Isang Bansa, Isang Barangay". Following the launch, it began simulcasting a handful of programs from its flagship station in Manila. In 2020, the station re-adapted its original slogan "Forever!".[4]
