Bantay Radyo was established in 1991 byCagayan de Oro–based Sarraga Integrated and Management Corporation, with the leadership of then-provincial Board Member Gigi Sanchez. In 2002, PAFI Techno Resources Corporation took over the network's management. This lasted until mid-2015, when PAFI's contract with SIAM expired.[1]
In 2006, Bantay Radyo expanded to Mindanao with DXIP in Davao, owned by theSouthern Broadcasting Network. In 2009, it went off the air for unknown reasons.
On August 1, 2015, Bantay Radyo stations temporarily went off the air due to management issues. Representatives from SIAM confiscated their transmitter equipment. SIAM decided to let CFI Community Cooperative take over the operations of Bantay Radyo once PAFI's contract expired.[2][3]
