HISTORY

93.9 WKC (1978-1999)

DWKC-FM was known as 93.9 WKC, first aired on September 3, 1978, a C-D-E

market radio station with famous taglines including "We are family". It was managed

by Mike Enriquez, at that time known as "Baby Michael". He left in 1995 for GMA

Network to prepare for the elections and became widely popular by the new

monicker Mr. Saksi. 93.9 WKC's operations were at the Philcomcen Bldg. in Ortigas

Center, Pasig. It played pop music through its existence. On November 22, 1999 at

11:00 pm, 93.9 WKC signed off.

939 WKC (1999-2002)

On November 23, 1999 at 6:00 am, 93.9 FM reformatted as 939

KCFM (pronounced as "ninety-three-nine") now catering to the A-B market, with its
 Quezon City Polytechnic University

Novaliches, Quezon City
TEL NOS.: 332-5003 / 468-5021 to 22

slogan "Live It Up!" DWKC featured Chico and Delamar (currently from Monster Radio

RX 93.1) and King DJ Logan. On May 15, 2002, 939 KCFM signed off for the last time.

93.9 iFM (2002present)

On May 16, 2002, 93.9 FM

reformatted back to a C-D-E market

radio station, known as 93.9 iFM with

its slogan Pwede! (English: (It) Can Be!), is headed by Fred M. Davis who was

responsible for making102.7 Star FM, WRR 101.9 For Life! (now MOR 101.9 For

Life!), 101.1 YES! FM and 90.7 Love Radio the successful stations. In June 2007, 93.9

iFM was the first commercial station in the country to broadcast with HD

Radio technology. It broadcast in three HD Radio digital audio channels along with its

pre-existing analog signal. The operation of its facility was in high-level combined hybrid

mode with an existing 35 kW analog transmitter, a new Nautel 1 kW HD Radio

transmitter, with the digital exciter, importer and exporter providing the digital signal

component. In June 2008, iFM launched another tagline Pinalakas!, as a result. As the
 Quezon City Polytechnic University

TEL NOS.: 332-5003 / 468-5021 to 22

Makati studios were transferred to Atlanta Center in San Juan City, RMN's sister station,

DZXL and its studios remained in Makati City.

In March 2009, iFM changed its logo as well the slogan to Sa iFM Siguradong

Enjoy Ka! (At iFM, You Will Surely Be Enjoyed!). And by January 2010, iFM also

launched a new campaign as "Ang Bago Mong FM" (Your New FM) with new DJs, new

programs, a new 7-note jingle, internet promotions and the addition of new talents like

the Megandang Megan, Nikka Dyosa, Kara Lambingera aka Klariz

Magboo, YouTube sensations Kuya Jobert and Sir Rex Kantatero, iFM continues to

bring quality entertainment to the metro. On May 10, 2011, the popular program

"Itanong Mo kay Kuya Jobert" was replaced by "Itanong Mo sa Mga Tikbalang" featuring

new jocks Charlie Bagin and Markang Bungal known as the duo "Tambalang

Tikbalang". The former was replaced due to Kuya Jobert's hectic schedule.

In late 2011, the station launched a new slogan called Ambot sa Kambing na may

Bangs! (English: Ask the Goat with Bangs!). Since then, iFM's official monicker is

"Kakambing".

Since 2014, it changed slogans from Ang Radyo Ko, iFM, Hiyang na Eh? to i Ang

Saya!, and 2015 from Promise to Kamote (coined from its flagship morning program,

Kamote Club). At this time, YouTube sensation Lloyd Cadena used to be a DJ until

Summer 2015. June 1, 2015 saw the return of Celine Labuyo (from106.7 Energy FM) as

Nikka Loka, and its new slogan #RamdamKita.

On November 9, 2015, 93.9 iFM and its provincial stations launched its new logo and

slogan, Ang Bestfriend Mo! as a response to the relaunches of ABS-CBN's MOR: My

Only Radio For Life! in 2013 and GMA's Barangay FM in 2014.
