History

DYCM was founded in 1989 under the ownership of Masbate Community Broadcasting Corporation. It was formerly located at Brgy. Taytayan, Bogo, Cebu. It initially bagged the names "Kaabag sa Banikanhon Kaugmaran", "Kaabag sa Serbisyo" and "Bag-ong Adlaw - Cebu Del Norte".

In early 2014, it went off the air and its ownership was transferred to Makati Broadcasting Company, a media outlet owned by former Bogo Mayor Celestino Martinez. DYCM was relaunched on July 8, 2014, this time in Cebu City, along with its relay station in its old location.
