History

The station was previously known by its call letters DWEI originally owned by Liberty Broadcasting Corporation which features MOR. However LBC sold the station to Audiovisual Communicators led by Rene Lacson and Fredi Garcia. This was later renamed the callsign as DWRX-FM on August 23, 1983, which is two days after the assassination of Ninoy Aquino. However, the station had been inherited the call letters “RX” from the station’s former owners, describing "prescription music". On that same year, the station adopted the pop format as Music City RX93 and became #1 on the survey in the mid-1980s.

In 1987, the station transferred from its studio and offices in Makati to its current location in Ortigas and it was reformatted as Light Rock RX93, with its light rock format.

In October 1990, the station reverted back to its pop format as Monster Radio RX93. Three years later, it became "The First Creative Pop Station" by adding the point (.) and 1 at 93, so it became Monster Radio RX 93.1 with its current slogan, "Manila's Hottest". One of its DJs is Rico Robles, known from Pinoy Big Brother, and the morning duo of Chico Garcia and Delamar Arias.
