History

edit
  • First broadcast in 1993 as DYCP 90.3.
  • In 2001 the station rebranded as Music Now with a Top 40 format.
  • In late 2003, the station became Mom's Radio 90.3. Dedicated to the mothers and mother-to-be listeners in Bacolod.
  • In 2010, it reverted to DYCP 90.3 with limited broadcast time.
  • In November 2015, Mom's Radio 90.3 returned on air, this time via satellite from Manila.[3][4]
  • In February 2018, Mom's Radio stations went off the air due to financial constraints.
  • In November 2022, shortly after Y2H Broadcasting Network took over its operations, the station returned to the air as XStream FM, airing a mass-based music format to complement its forthcoming sister station 96.7 XFM (which runs a hybrid news & music format). Later in 2023 it rebranded as Solid FM with soft adult contemporary format. Official launching will be held at a later date.
