Before MBC purchased and was granted the rights to 96.3 MHz, the frequency operated as RK 96 Real Radio, later to be rebranded as 96.3 WRocK in 1988. It was originally owned by the ACWS - United Broadcasting Network, Inc with the studios and transmitter based at FEMS Tower 1 in Osmeña Highway in Manila. It operated until 2008 when the callsign and frequency was bought by the MBC in October 2008. [1]
MBC continued to operate DWRK as 96.3 WRocK from October 2008 to May 17, 2009, with the DWRK studios moved to the Star City Complex, Pasay next to its new sister stations. On May 18, 2009 DWRK broadcasted under the new brand, 96.3 Easy Rock, ending 20 years of broadcasting under the WRocK brand [2]
