DZYB (102.3 FM) is a radio station owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation and operated by Philippine Collective Media Corporation. It currently serves as a relay station of FM Radio in Manila. The station's transmitter is located at Mt. Sto. Tomas, Tuba, Benguet.[1][2]

History

[edit]

The station began operations in 1978 as MRS 102.3, airing an adult contemporary format. In 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, the station rebranded as Jesse @ Rhythms 102.3 and switched to a Top 40 format. In 2005, the name was shortened to 102.3 Jesse as the station switched to an urban contemporary format. On February 21, 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it was became a relay station of 92.3 Radyo5 in Manila which later in November 4, 2024 became 105.9 True FM. On November 4, 2024 it became relay station of FM Radio Manila 92.3 as part of its agreement in which PCMC will acquire most of NBC radio assets and frequencies, except for its Cebu and Cagayan de Oro stations.[3][4][5]
