History

1996-2014: Campus Radio/Wow FM

The station, along with sister station DXGM, was inaugurated on March 9, 1996, as Campus Radio 103.5 with the slogan "Forever". It aired a Top 40 format. Its first home was at Amesco Bldg. along Magsaysay St.^[2]

In late 1998, following GMA's acquisition of Channel 5 from ABC, the station switched to a mass-based format and changed its slogan to "Nindota Ah!", adapted from its Cebu station. On July 29, 2002, it rebranded as 103.5 Wow FM and changed its slogan to "Wow! Nindota Ah!".^[3]

2014-present: Barangay FM

On February 17, 2014, as part of RGMA's brand unification, the station relaunched under the Barangay FM network and carried-over the slogan "Isang Bansa, Isang Barangay". Following the launch, it began simulcasting a handful of programs from its flagship station in Manila. In 2020, the station re-adapted its original slogan "Forever!".^[4]
