Background
WRocK Davao
In 1990, ACWS - United Broadcasting Network established the Davao radio station DXKR, more popularly called 95.5 WRocK Davao, on the FM band.
On October 6, 2008, it has been announced that Elizalde Group of Companies' Manila Broadcasting Company has purchased 96.3 WRocK from the Hodreal family, owners of ACWS-UBN, for PhP229.6 million. However, due to radio guidelines, MBC is not allowed to own more than one radio station. As such, the frequency was assigned to Cebu Broadcasting Company.[1]
While the Manila radio station is under the control of Cebu Broadcasting Company, ACWS-UBN continued to retain control of the WRocK provincial stations.
Hit Radio Davao
In 2010, due to lack of resources and financial challenges, 95.5 sold the station to ACWS-UBN, which rebranded the station as 95.5 Hit Radio.[2]
