The station's studio is located at the 3rd Floor, ECI Bldg., McArthur Highway, Ulas, Brgy. Talomo,Davao City, while its transmitter is located along Broadcast Ave., Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City.[1][2]
The station was established in 1997 as93.1 Crossover under the call letters DXVR, airing aSmooth AC format. At that time, it was formerly owned byGolden Broadcast Professionals, withMareco Broadcasting Network operating the station through anairtime lease. In 2003, it changed its call letters to DXAC. By the late 2000s, MBNI fully acquired the station. In 2016, the station moved from F. Valrose Bldg. along C. M. Recto St. to its current home in Shrine Hills.
On December 31, 2019, Horizon of the Sun Communications (producers of Chinatown TV and Chinese News TV) took over the operations of MBNI's stations. It was only on November 16, 2020, when all MBNI provincial stations started carrying theQ Radio brand and adopted aCHR/Top 40 format, similar to itsManila flagship station.
On June 19, 2023, Q Radio announced on its social media pages and livestream that the station will permanently go off the air due to financial problems. On June 30, Q Radio had its last broadcast.[3][4]
On July 1, it went back on the air, this time as a relay station of105.1 Brigada News FM in Manila. A couple of days later, it switched to automated music under the interim nameNews FM.
In January 2024, it started simulcasting91.5 FM as part of transition with the tagline"93.1 Inyong Istasyon, Among Inspirasyon" as Brigada's lease with Primax was slated to expire this year.
On March 17, 2024, in celebration of the 87th Araw ng Dabaw, Brigada News FM Davao began broadcasting in this frequency full-time, while itsformer frequency downgraded to a repeater, which lasted until April 15, 2024.
