[edit] History

The station began regular operations barely 11 days before the end of the Marcos dictatorship, or on Valentine's Day 1986. It became a witness to history unfolding before the Filipino. Then broadcasting from the near top of the Philippine Communications Center building in Pasig City, the station started with an aircrew led by Bernie Buenaseda (now the station's president and general manager), Little David and Joe D'Mango, who both now are running their own radio stations.

Magic 89.9 became the first home of "Love Notes", the 15 minute counseling program hosted by Joe D'Mango that became an instant hit among office staff every Friday morning. It transferred its home to its sister station Wave 89.1 in 2001.

But Magic 89.9 will always be known for making Fridays nostalgia days with its Friday Madness (then Friday Magic Madness), a format that started a trend on FM radio that was previously only done on a weekend.
