Brief history

The first and only radio station in Nasipit was born in December 2001 carrying the branding 93.5 MHz Hot FM Nasipit under Manila Broadcasting Company. It was managed by Ronald Timogan, a Municipal Councilor that time.

When it started, Hot FM broadcasts only with the power of 500 watts until the management upgraded its transmitter to 1k sender. The programs of Hot FM were popular among the people of Nasipit. It brings entertainment and music to young listeners and news to elderly. Popular programs were "Awitan ko Ikaw Nasipitnon" every weekend night, "Kalanrakas sa Kusina" heard every noon, "Ronda Nasipit Morning & Afternoon Edition" and later changed to "DXRR News Patrol" Morning & Afternoon, Barangay 93.5 every Sunday with Lolo Carpo, and many more.

At present, the station changed its frequency to 93.7 MHz since Hope FM of Butuan City bought the frequency. And in January 2015 it changed again for the third time its frequency from 93.7 MHz to 94.3 MHz to avoid interference with Hope FM.
