DZGV (99.9 FM), broadcasting as GV 99.9 or GV Southern Luzon, is a music radio station owned and operated by GV Radios Network Corporation, a subsidiary of Apollo Broadcast Investors. The station's studio and transmitter are located at #53 Evangelista St., Batangas City, Philippines. It operates daily from 4:00 AM to 12:00 MN.[1][2][3]
GV holds the distinction as the first and the most influential FM station in the province of Batangas. GVFM used to carry the Drive Radio brand from 2010 to 2017. The slogan of this radio is "Your Good Vibes!"
GV 99.9 formerly had a sister station, DWEG-FM, branded on air as Smile 89.5 that first signed on in 2010 to serve the extreme northern Batangas and western Laguna market. It carried a masa format until March 2018, when it was converted into a relay of GV 99.9. Its transmitter was located along Santo Tomas - Lipa Rd., Sto. Tomas. It went off the air in late 2018 due to cost-cutting measures and its transmitter being disabled by Tropical Storm Usman.
As of November 2021, the frequency is being occupied by ABN Broadcasting, a consortium headed by former Bay Radio 104.7 and Air1 Radio 91.9 personnel, branded as ABN 89.5 Bestfriend Radio. It is currently on test broadcast
