DZBM (105.1 FM), is a radio station owned by Mareco Broadcasting Network and operated by Brigada Mass Media Corporation. It serves as a relay station of Brigada News FM in Manila. The station's transmitter is located at Diplomat Rd., Dominican Hill, Baguio.[1][2]

History

The station was established in the middle of 2000 as a relay station of 105.1 Crossover in Manila.[3]

105.1 Crossover (2000–2019).

On December 30, 2019, 105.1 FM silently dropped its Crossover brand and smooth jazz format and switched to a Top 40 format, as MBN opted to lease the station's airtime to Horizon of the Sun Communications (producer of Chinese Filipino oriented shows Chinatown TV and Chinese News TV). On January 13, 2020, the station was officially launched as Q Radio.

Q Radio 105.1 (2020–2023).

On June 19, 2023, Q Radio announced on its social media pages and livestream that the station will permanently go off the air due to financial problems.[4][5]

On June 30, 2023, it began its test broadcast by relaying various Brigada News FM stations until resorting back to its Manila feed a couple of days later.
