DYRF started as a single AM Radio station under the medium-sized broadcasting company called the Filipinas Broadcasting Association, Incorporated (FBAI). This station was founded by the Redemptorist Fathers (CSsR) in March 24, 1968 in Cebu City with the belief that radio broadcasting should go beyond providing news, entertainment and music. It should influence the lives of people and help them reach not only social and economic security, but especially religious and spiritual stability.
