History

The station was established by Capricom Production & Management on March 1, 1987, as Z105 under the call letters DYMZ. On April 4, 1994, UM Broadcasting Network leased the station's airtime and relaunched it as 105.9 Wild FM with a call letters DYWC. It carried a dance-leaning Top 40 format. On May 1, 2000, Audiovisual Communicators acquired the station from Capricom and changed its call letters to DYBT; while the next two years, Wild FM moved to the then-newly acquired 103.5 FM (later becoming Retro Cebu since 2015). As a result, it rebranded as Monster Radio BT 105.9 with a Top 40 format. In 2016, the station transferred from Mango Square Mall to its current location in East Aurora Tower and adopted its current slogan "Cebu's Hottest", the catchphrase used by its flagship station in Manila.
