DYKP operating as 97.3 Boracay Beach Radio, is the FM Radio station of Dream FM Network, located in Boracay.

History

In 1992 the station commenced broadcasting as KP-FM 89.7 under Westwind Broadcasting Corporation. At that time, it was located in Roxas City. In 1994, it changed its brand to KP-FM 97.3 Roxas City. In 1998, it moved its studios to Boracay Island & changed its brand again to B 97 or Boracay 97. However, in 2000, it ceased broadcasting due to lack of advertisers.

In 2010, it was sold to TV5 (later transferred to Dream FM Network after its separation from TV5) & revived as 97.3 Dream FM. In June 2011, it ceased its broadcast as a call for Dream FM's demise, which happened 3 months later. However, in September 2011, it revived as 97.3 Boracay Beach Radio. Its programs from Dream FM were carried to this station.
