DWIM (89.5 FM), broadcasting as 89.5 Star FM, is a radio station owned and operated by Bombo Radyo Philippines under its licensee People's Broadcasting Service, Inc. The station's studio, offices and transmitter are located at Bombo Radyo Broadcast Center, 87 Lourdes Subdivision Rd., Baguio City. Star FM operates daily from 4:00 AM to 12:00 MN.[1][2]

History

The station was established on August 21, 1991 as 89.5 WIM. It aired a Top 40 format with the slogan "The Rhythm of the City". In less than a year, WIM was ranked by the Radio Research Council as the most listened station in the city. On April 22, 1994, to provide a more solid identity for all of Bombo Radyo's FM stations, WIM was re-launched as Star FM and switched to a mass-based format.
