DYQN (89.5 FM), broadcasting as 895 Home Radio, owned and operated by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation. Its studio and transmitter are located along Rizal St., Iloilo City.[1]

History

The station was established on November 1993 as Q89, airing a Top 40 format with the slogan The Next Big Thing. On January 1995, it changed its slogan to The Station Who Cares.[2]

In 1999, the station rebranded as Home Radio Q89 and switched to an easy listening format. The Q89 brand was dropped the following year.

On March 17, 2014, Home Radio, along with the other provincial stations, reformatted into a mass based format, carrying the slogan "Natural!" as a new format. On Easter Sunday 2015, the station switched back to its Top 40 format mixed with OPM, simply known as CHR Local. On late 2015, the station adopted the slogan "The Music of Now".

On July 2017, Home Radio flipped back to its easy listening format. In 2018, Home Radio's provincial stations started simulcasting DWIZ 882's program Karambola, thus allowing the station to include news and commentaries in the morning to the station's format.
