History

1997-2020: Crossover

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b4/Crossover_FM.svg" caption="Crossover (1997–2020)."] ::

The station was established in 1997 as 93.1 Crossover under the call letters DXVR, airing a Smooth AC format. At that time, it was formerly owned by Golden Broadcast Professionals, with Mareco Broadcasting Network operating the station through an airtime lease. In 2003, it changed its call letters to DXAC. By the late 2000s, MBNI fully acquired the station. In 2016, the station moved from F. Valrose Bldg. along C. M. Recto St. to its current home in Shrine Hills.

2020-2023: Q Radio

On December 31, 2019, Horizon of the Sun Communications (producers of Chinatown TV and Chinese News TV) took over the operations of MBNI's stations. It was only on November 16, 2020, when all MBNI provincial stations started carrying the Q Radio brand and adopted a CHR/Top 40 format, similar to its Manila flagship station.

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. On June 30, Q Radio had its last broadcast.

2023-present: Brigada News FM

On June 27, 2023, Brigada Mass Media Corporation (BMMC) signed an agreement with Mareco, in which it would lease the station's airtime along with other Mareco stations in Manila, Baguio, and Cebu. On July 1, it went back on the air, this time as a relay station of 105.1 Brigada News FM in Manila. A couple of days later, it switched to automated music under the interim name News FM.

On January 15, 2024, it started simulcasting 91.5 FM as part of transition with the tagline "93.1 Inyong Istasyon, Among Inspirasyon" as Brigada's lease with Primax was slated to expire this year.

On March 17, 2024, in celebration of the 87th Araw ng Dabaw, Brigada News FM Davao began broadcasting in this frequency full-time. Meanwhile, its former frequency downgraded to a repeater, which lasted until April 15, 2024.

Brigada News FM Davao was officially launched on April 15 with a motorcade at selected streets in Davao and on the same day, a grand launch concert to be held at NCCC Mall VP.
