History

DYXY was launched in 1978 on 93.9 MHz. It carried a Top 40 format. In 1980, it moved to 99.1 MHz.

On August 16, 1992, DYXY rebranded as Smile Radio and switched to a mass-based format. On November 23, 1999, the station rebranded as 991 XYFM and returned to Top 40.

On May 16, 2002, the station was relaunched as 99.1 iFM and returned to a mass-based format. It also adopted the slogan, Hit after Hit.

On March 2, 2009, as part of RMN's nationwide expansion, iFM changed its new logo and the slogan Sa iFM, Siguradong Enjoy Ka!.

On November 9, 2015, iFM launched its new logo and slogan "Ang Bestfriend Mo!".

In January 2017, the station switched to a news and talk format under the name RMN Tacloban, the second RMN branding after DWNX in Naga, Camarines Sur. However, iFM's bumpers are only used for its music blocks.
