DYIO (101.1 FM), broadcasting as Y101, is a radio station owned by GVM Radio/TV Corporation and operated under airtime lease and shared sales agreements by Y2H Broadcasting Network, Inc. The station's studio and transmitter are located at the BSP Camp, Capitol Hills, Brgy. Lahug, Cebu City.

History

::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a9/Y101_studio_at_the_Gaisano_Country_Mall_(2024-01-24).jpg" caption="DYIO's former studio at the Gaisano Country Mall"] ::

DYIO began test transmissions in 1979 and made its inaugural broadcast on March 1, 1980, under the ownership of Emilio Remedios Tuason's Trans-Radio Broadcasting Corporation, the original owner of Manila-based 99.5 RT. The station's first home was at Danaque Building along Osmeña Blvd.

Tuason and his cousin Binggoy Remedios were the station's first voices on the air. Y101 adapted 99.5 RT's CHR/Top 40 format and iconic slogan "The Rhythm of the City".

Y101's ownership was transferred in 1990 to GVM Radio/TV Corporation, owned by Emilio's sister Martha Tuason. It also changed its slogan to "Always First" and "Red Hot Radio" in March 2023. By 2000, it moved to the 2nd Floor of Gaisano Country Mall, in Gov. M. Cuenco Avenue, Banilad, Cebu City.

In 2024, GVM struck an airtime lease and shared sales-marketing agreement with Y2H Broadcasting Network, the owners of XFM. This brought Y101 into the portfolio of the broadcast company ran by Dr. Remelito Uy, which already operates 88.3 XFM, whose frequency is owned by Southern Broadcasting Network.

In April 2025, Y101 transferred its studios to the BSP Camp, which houses erstwhile CHR rival 92.3 FM, whose operations were taken over by Y2H back in January. Further changes were implemented on the station, such as the addition of the Saturday gospel music block The Light on Y101, mirroring XFM's Gospel Hour.

92.3 FM simulcasted Y101 as Red Hot X92 from May 18 to September 15, 2025, when it was relaunched as 92.3 Solid FM.
