Profile
In 1991, the station began its broadcast as DWLR. At that time, it was owned by Ultrasonic Broadcasting System (owner of Energy FM), with studios located at SYSU Bldg. in Quezon City. In 1993, the call sign was changed to DWSS, airing Christian music under the name 1494 K-LOVE. Considering the owner's strong family religious background, this was their 1st venture into religious programming, way before Saved began airing on Energy FM years later. In 1996, Manny Luzon took over the station's operations and revamped DWSS as a blocktime station. In 2004, it was sold to FBS Radio Network, in exchange of the latter's stations in Dagupan and Cebu.[1]
It was once home of Nar Pineda, Ducky Paredes, Ruben Ilagan and other Powerhouse Broadcasters since the demise of DZXQ in March 2011,[2] as well as the Tagalog-languaged broadcast of Family Radio during evenings.
