The station was established in 2000 by former Magic 89.9 personality and former head of the Presidential Broadcasting Service, Rizal "Bong" Aportadera, Jr. (known on-air as "Sonny B"), and Randall Ong as Red Hot Mix FM 105.9. Aportadera once served as city information officer at Davao City's local government. Back then, it was located at the Doors 4 and 5, RJ Homes Bldg., Pelayo St. In 2005, the "Red Hot" was eventually dropped and it was simply known as "105.9 Mix FM". On that same year, Mix FM became the number one radio station in the city.
In addition, Mix FM added legendary Los Angeles radio disc jockey Rick Dees, who hosts the Rick Dees' Weekly Top 40 countdown. Also, the station hosting several events in DC such as House Party and Sikat!.

2013–2014: Power FM
On March 1, 2013, under new management, the station was relaunched as Power FM and switched to a news and music format. Dubbed as "The all in one station", it featured news & commentaries in the morning, music during mid-morning to evenings & blocktimers during the rest of the day.
