DWKY (91.5FM), broadcasting as91.5 Win Radio, is aradio station owned byMabuhay Broadcasting System and operated by Manuelito "Manny" Luzon'sZimZam Management, Inc. It serves as the flagship station of theWin Radio Network. The station's studio and transmitter are located at the 40th Floor,Summit One Tower, Shaw Blvd.,Mandaluyong.
As of Q4 2022, 91.5 Win Radio is the 3rd most-listened to FM radio station inMetro Manila, based on a survey commissioned byKantar Media Philippines andKapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas.
On October 1, 1985, the station started carrying the call letters DWKY and rebranded asKY 91.5. Headed by Al Torres (formerly from99.5 RT, later a voiceover ofGMA from 1993 to 2025), it carried a broad basedTop 40 format, playing well-crafted music from Mondays to Saturdays, as well as oldies music during Sundays.Ben Tulfo andDaniel Razon were two of the station's disc jockeys
In 1998, Manny Luzon became FM Operations Consultant for MBSI. KY 91.5 then becameK91 FM, which mainly played novelty and contemporary pop music.
In 2003,Ultrasonic Broadcasting System took over the station's operations and rebranded it as91.5 Energy FM, with a recall byline "'Wag mong sabihing radyo, sabihin mo, Energy!" ("Don't say radio, say Energy!") in order to compete with other local stations. Its studios moved to SYSU Building inQuezon City.
From July to November 2006, The Edge Radio of United Christian Broadcasters occupied the 6pm-6am timeslot of Energy FM. In 2008, it ranked second among Metro Manila stations.[citation needed] In 2009, DWKY, together with its provincial stations, won in the 18th KBP Golden Dove Awards as Best FM Station of the year.[citation needed]
In 2010, Manny Luzon eventually left UBSI to joinProgressive Broadcasting Corporation (where he transformedNU 107 to107.5 Win Radio). After 8 years on 91.5, Energy FM signed off on June 1, 2011, and transferred to the106.7 FM frequency a month later.
On June 1, 2011, at 1:15am,91.5 Big Radio was launched.ZimZam Management took over the station's operations, making it the sister station of107.5 Win Radio. (station ownerProgressive Broadcasting Corporation acquired a minority share of MBSI and also took over management of sister stationDZXQ) Bigman Marco (formerly known as Sgt. Mark of Energy FM) was the first to go on board, followed by a few jocks from the Energy FM roster.[1][2]
As part of Energy FM's transition to their new frequency, DWKY used a partial stinger of the Energy FM slogan "'Wag mong sabihing radyo," until Energy FM moved to 106.7 FM. During its first 4 months, it reused its old studios in Centerpoint Bldg. in Pasig until September, when it moved to AIC Gold Tower in the same city.
In July 2011, a month after the rebranding,Vanguard Radio Network (VRN) filed a legaltrademark infringement case at theIntellectual Property Office against Luzon. He was accused of using the said brand without any permission from VRN, citing that VRN already owned the said brand alongside the "Big Sound FM" brand.[3] The case was upheld in 2017, and Luzon violated Section 147 of the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines.[4]
In late March 2012, Big Radio was ranked #3 in the FM radio ratings, based on the KBP Radio Research Council.
On June 26, 2014, 91.5 Big Radio signed off after airing for 3 years. It was replaced by91.5 Win Radio a day later on June 27, 2014, which used to air on 107.5 MHz for 4 years.Progressive Broadcasting Corporation's content providerBreakthrough and Milestones Productions International (an affiliate ofMembers Church of God International) took over 107.5 FM and launchedWish 1075 later on August 10, 2014.[5]
In 2015, the station moved to its current home inSummit One Tower inMandaluyong.
