Every dream has a beginning ... DYMI 94.7 began with a song

It all started with a passion for good music and uplifting praise songs, a hobby and a gift for a priest who desired to glorify God with his songs.

Today, DYMI 94.7 FM station stands high on Sunshine Valley, Marikudo Hills, in Calinog, Iloilo, because Fr. Tom Delicana, parish priest there for 15 years, was not contented to keep the song in his heart. He wanted it echoed through the hills of Central Panay.

DYMI 94.7 FM Radio Station (MI stands for Mary Immaculate), started as an experimental station in the summer of 1998, broadcasting with a power of only 100 milliwatts on the rooftop of Calinog Parish Church. The station carried the Holy Mass on air daily, to the delight of the people, especially those who, for physical or whatever reason, cannot attend Mass in Church.

As the station gained momentum and attracted the attention of the listening public, it gradually expanded its focus to include community information, public affairs programs as well as choices of great songs and well-loved selections. The local broadcasts also gathered their own captive audiences in communities reached by the programs. Some groups even formed 94.7 Fans Club which gave inspiration support to the station.

Some other people inspired by his enthusiasm and persistence, joined in building the dream. After about two years, the station enjoyed increased audience support, private placements. motivated staff and crew and generous people who sponsored the upgrading of equipment and offered financial support.

In May 2002, DYMI 94.7 obtained a franchise from Radio Veritas and a P.A to install and maintain as a commercial radio station from the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC). It obtained a temporary permit (TP) operate in Feb 2006 and since then DYMI as been operating as commercial radio station, from the monumental Marikudo Hills, Sunshine Valley, Bgy. Simsiman, Calinog, Iloilo, at a peak power of 1000 watts ERP.
