History
The station was previously known by its call letters DWEI originally owned by Liberty Broadcasting Corporation which features MOR. However LBC sold the station to Audiovisual Communicators led by Rene Lacson and Fredi Garcia. This was later renamed the callsign as DWRX-FM on August 23, 1983. However, the station had been inherited the call letters “RX” from the station’s former owners, describing "prescription music". On that same year, the station adopted the pop format as Music City RX93 and became #1 on the survey in the mid-1980s.
In 1987, the station transferred from its studio and offices in Makati to its current location in Ortigas and it was reformatted as Light Rock RX93, with its light rock format.
In October 1990, the station reverted back to its pop format as Monster Radio RX93. Three years later, it became "The First Creative Pop Station" by adding the point (.) and 1 at 93, so it became Monster Radio RX 93.1 with its current slogan, "Manila's Hottest". The station is also known as "Summer's Hottest" & "Season's Hottest".

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“The history of mankind interests us only as it exhibits a steady gain of truth and right, in the incessant conflict which it records between the material and the moral nature.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
