Ultrasonic Broadcasting System, Inc. (UBSI) is aPhilippineradio network owned by the SYSU Group of Companies, a conglomerate owned by the Sy family. UBSI owns a number of FM stations across the country under theEnergy FM brand.[1][2][3][4]
UBSI was founded by the Sy family in 1991 with the launch ofK-LOVE 1494.
In 1996, UBSI hired former station manager ofDZMB and radio consultant Manuelito "Manny" F. Luzon as general manager. Under Luzon's management, he conceptualized a new FM network calledEnergy FM. It was launched first inDavao, followed byanother station in Cebu (later transferred to 89.1 FM from 2003 to 2004) and in Naga.
In 2003, UBSI acquired theairtime lease of Metro Manila stationDWKY 91.5 (owned byMabuhay Broadcasting System, whom Luzon is also the FM operations consultant of the said company) and became 91.5 Energy FM.[5] A year later in 2004, UBSI sold DWSS toFBS Radio Network, in exchange of the latter's stations inDagupan andCebu.[6][7]
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 2011, a year after Luzon left the company forPBC, Energy FM officially transferred its Manila station to 106.7 FM under a transitional partnership with station ownerDream FM Network of Tonyboy Cojuangco, with UBSI acquired the full-control of the station months later.[8][9]
