FM1 is a national FM radio network owned and operated by the government of the Philippines through the Philippine Broadcasting Service (PBS) under the Presidential Communications Group.

History

Prior to its launch, the 87.5 MHz frequency was subsequently acquired by the government through PBS. PBS, through its Director-General Bong Aportadera, appointed Carlo José Villo as the agency's Deputy-Director General and the head of the newly-created FM division.[1][2]

On November 1, 2017, FM1 began its test broadcast in Metro Manila at 1:00 am. A few days later, the station's DJs (mostly poached from Mellow 947 and Tiger22's stations 99.5 Play FM, Wave 89.1, Jam 88.3, Magic 89.9 and 103.5 K-Lite) identified the frequency under the call sign DWFO, subject to approval from the NTC.

On August 1, 2018, FM1 in Davao was launched.[3]

FM1 have bared plans for nationwide expansion by launching provincial stations, with plans of establishing more stations on Cebu City, Cagayan de Oro, Bacolod, Iloilo City, Baguio, Bohol, Boracay, General Santos City, Ilocos Region, Legazpi City, Caraga Region, and Zamboanga City.
