Background in 1984, 91.5 Energy FM use to be known as KY 91.5 under Mabuhay Broadcasting System, Inc. (MBSI) which also owned DZXQ 1350 AM playing classic rock hits during the late 80′s and the rest of the 90′s. Then in 1998, KY 91.5 became K91 FM playing mainly novelty and pop music.

In October 2003, Ultrasonic Broadcasting System acquired the FM operations of MBSI, and DWKY-FM was relaunched under a new name, 91.5 Energy FM in order to compete with 102.7 Star FM, WRR 101.9 For Life! (now Tambayan 101.9), 101.1 YES! FM, 93.9 iFM and 90.7 Love Radio. In July 2006, The Edge Radio of United Christian Broadcasters occupied the 6pm – 6am timeslot of Energy FM. But on November 2006, UBSI reclaimed the said block and resumed broadcast on a 24-hour basis.
