The station was inaugurated on 1980s under the ownership of Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corporation of Emilio Tuason, the original owner of Manila-based 99.5 RT. As Y101 adapted 99.5 RT's format and iconic slogan "The Rhythm of the City", X101 adopted also.

The station was taken over by ABS-CBN on January 25, 1992, as a result, it became a relay station of over Radio Romance in Manila. On February 16, 1995, the station was launched as Star Radio 101.1 with a mass-based format. In 1997, following the formation of the Regional Network Group (RNG), it was rebranded as ABS-CBN Radio 101.1. On July 14, 2001, as part of rebranding ABS-CBN's RNG FM stations coinciding with the Cagayan de Oro station's 8th Anniversary, the station rebranded as MOR 101.1 For Life!.

On May 5, 2020, the station, along with the other My Only Radio stations, went off the air due to the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission as its the network's legislative franchise to operate expired the day before. It currently operates as an online platform.[4][5]
