History

DYIO began its test transmission in 1979 and made its inaugural broadcast on March 1, 1980, under the ownership of Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corporation of Emilio Tuason, the original owner of Manila-based 99.5 RT. The station's original studio was located at Danaque Building along Osmeña Blvd.[citation needed]
Tuason and his cousin Binggoy Remedios were the station's first voices. Y101 adapted 99.5 RT's format and iconic slogan "The Rhythm of the City".
Since the 1990s, Y101 transferred its ownership to GVM Radio/TV Corporation. Y101 changed to its present slogan, "Always First".[5]
