History
- On November 1, 1976, RMN operated its first FM Station branded DXVM-FM 99.1. Its format was Contemporary Hit Radio & Pop music. It catered to C & D market.
- In 1986, the station was reformatted as Smile Radio 99.1: "The Voice of Music".
- In 1999, it was reformatted again as 991 VMFM, with its slogan, "Live it Up!", carrying a CHR format.
- On August 28, 2002, it changed its name to 99.1 iFM & catered to class B although it stuck to C & D market. 99.1 iFM almost has the same format with all the other iFM stations nationwide.
- In 2013, in an all out effort to regain airwave supremacy, 99.1 iFM reinvented itself once more. With extreme pressure from management, all iFM stations are now gearing up to a more localized approach thus eventually coming up with local tagline and programs. As of this writing iFM is now using the slogan "Permanente!" used to be until September 2017.
- On November 9, 2015, iFM Cagayan de Oro and provincial stations launched its new logo and slogan, "Ang Bestfriend Mo!"
- On September 25, 2017, iFM Cagayan de Oro launched its new slogan, "I NA TAAH!" (which is based from the co-owned station in Davao a month ago and it also inherited by the latter's flagship tagline of the Manila radio station which launched earlier on June 12) with the return of the 7-note sound mnemonic from 2002. Following by its launch, iFM Cagayan de Oro changed their programs' name synchronous and DJ's on board.
