Radio Romance 101.9 FM

DWRR was founded in 1956 as one of the radio stations of Chronicle
Broadcasting Network (now ABS-CBN). It was revived in 1986 and
reformatted several times. On May 5, 2020, it suspended its broadcasting
activities, together with that of its television and sister radio
stations, following a cease-and-desist order issued by the National
Telecommunications Commission due to the expiration of ABS-CBN's
legislative franchise to operate. The online radio permanently ceased
operations on August 28, 2020, as a result of a franchise denial made by
the House of Representatives on July 10, 2020.
Radio Romance (1989–1996)
At 6:00 am on July 16, 1989, the station was again reformatted to what
became known as 101.9 Radio Romance (RR), playing all easy-listening love
songs except for a Sunday OPM program. At first all the DJs were female,
including Amy Perez; it became the first FM station to implement the
technological innovation of originating playlists from compact discs. That
year also signaled the station's first nationwide reach when 103.1 MHz
Baguio simulcasted its signals, ensuring uninterrupted listening for
travelers from Manila to as far north as Ilocos Sur; in the early 1990s it
began simulcasting via satellite to stations across the country. "Radio
Romance" became the title of a theme song for the station composed by Jose
Mari Chan and of a movie.
Radio Romance signed off for the last time on April 28, 1996
