Broadcasts daily from 5:45am to 2:00am except Holy Week where it is off-the-air on Good Friday and resumes on Black Saturday. With its increasing listenership, MBN eventually opened DZBM to commercial advertising. For enhanced quality, the station moved from AM to the FM band and became known as Power 105 BM FM at 105.1 MHz in 1985 competing with WXB 102 (now 102.7 Star FM). It played New Wave and Disco music until 1991 when Power 105 BM FM shut down. From this time, the Network underwent several changes in management, as well as programming, with the end result being 105.1 Crossover which changed to Jazz station competing directly with Citylite 88.3 (now Jam 88.3) and Joey @ Rhythms 92.3 (now 92.3 News FM). over a decade, jazz enthusiasts both young and old have made 105.1 Crossover their place on the radio.
