The station was established by Capricom Production & Management on March 1, 1987, as Z105 under the call letters DYMZ.

In 2016, the station transferred from Mango Square Mall to its current location in East Aurora Tower and adopted its current slogan "Cebu's Hottest", the catchphrase used by its flagship station in Manila.
