Smooth FM 107.1, formerly known as Smooth Jazz 107.1, was a very popular radio station in Baguio City during the years of 2000 - 2003, with its fan-base consisting mostly of yuppies, college and high school students. Contrary to its name at that time, Smooth Jazz 107.1 gained its fame by being one of the only stations to have an "American" format; playing songs that were famous in the U.S. at a time when the Baguio City radio scene was dominated by the novelty, or masa sound. It's D.J.s also played a big part in their rise to fame. The most popular at that time were Nicki, K.C. Jones, Sebastian Kidd, J. Webber, Stacey and Jersey. In 2002-2003, the station started playing a mixture of alternative, rock and R&B.

In the 2nd half of 2003, Smooth Jazz 107.1 reformatted to its current format. It is the only jazz station in Baguio City. It's new tag line is "Your stress-free radio".

This station used to be an affiliate of Raven Broadcasting Corporation in Manila. It was known as City Lite 107.1. City Lite was dropped from the name when Raven Broadcasting Corporation changed hands sometime in 2000 and 107.1 ceased to be an affiliate.
