History
editThe 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, Audiowav Media took over the station's operations, along with NBC's stations in Visayas and Mindanao, and rebranded it as WAV FM. On February 21, 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it became a relay station of 92.3 FM in Manila. On November 4, 2024, the station is part of NBC's agreement with Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC), wherein PCMC will lease and eventually acquire most of NBC's radio assets and frequencies, except for its Cebu and Cagayan de Oro stations.[3][4][5]
