DXRL (101.5 FM) is a radio station owned by Nation Broadcasting Corporation and operated by sister company TV5 Network Inc. It currently serves as a relay station of True FM in Manila. The station's transmitter is located along Macapagal Drive (formerly Greenhills Road), Upper Bulua, Cagayan de Oro.1
History
The station began operations in 1976 as MRS 101.5, airing an adult contemporary format. In 1998, after NBC was acquired by PLDT subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, the station rebranded as Sandy @ Rhythms 101.5 and switched to a Top 40 format. In 2005, the "Rhythms" tag was dropped.23
In 2011, months after TV5 took over operations of the stations, it became a relay station of DWFM 92.3 Manila, which was branded as Radyo5 and specifically the News FM sub-brand, later transitioning to True FM in 2023. On November 4, 2024, it transitioned to become a relay station of DWLA 105.9 Manila, where the flagship True FM programming transferred, as part of the rebranded True Network. It is one of the two radio stations owned by TV5's sister company Nation Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) despite its lease-to-own agreement with Philippine Collective Media Corporation (PCMC) regarding most NBC-owned radio stations, with the other being based in Cebu.456
