DYPC (88.7 FM) is a community FM radio station owned by Mandaue Broadcasting Center, an affiliate of the Visayas-Mindanao Confederation of Trade Unions (Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation). Its studios and transmitter are located at the Mandaue City College, H. Abellana St., Basak, Mandaue City.[1] Broadcasting with the power of 5,000 watts, the signal reached the whole of Metro Cebu, Mandaue City, Lapu-lapu City, Consolacion, Cordova, Compostela and the entire province of Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental and some parts of Leyte. It offers public service programs like news and public affairs, commentary or opinion talk shows as well as music and entertainment presentations. DYPC operates 24/7, including Holy Week.
DYPC was started its broadcast on July 1, 2013 at Mandaue City College under Paulus M. Cañete, which was then broadcasting on 91.8 MHz with a power of 30 watts. It was known as Cebu's very first campus-based broadcast station aside from music and news at that time. Recently, the station ended its broadcast and went off-air in late-2014.
On February 3, 2015, DYPC resumes its broadcast on 91.9 MHz with a brand new power of 1,000 watts. It changed its format to news & public service competition from other AM radio stations in Cebu. On August 26, 2015, it was closed down by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for allegedly operating without authority, permit or license that it was a pirate radio station. On August 28, 2015, dyPC-FM resumed its broadcast operation despite the government agency's instruction to stop its operation.
On September 19, 2017, after leaving 91.9 MHz and test broadcasting at 87.9 MHz for several weeks, it was announced on Facebook that regular broadcast will now resume at 88.7 MHz after renewed its radio permit license from NTC and Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation renewed its franchise for this station from Mandaue Broadcasting Center. On December 2017, DYPC upgraded its transmitting power to 5,000 watts that signals can reached the whole parts of Central Visayas.
