History

After the launch of DWAD in July 1973, 97.9 Crusaders FM made its inaugural broadcast in April 1982, and it played pop, mellow, OPM and Christian music. It had temporary permits in January 1994 and then in May 1996.

In May 1997, the station ceased operations because the Broadcast Service Division of the NTC recommended the cancellation and revocation of the permit of Crusaders due to a case filed by ConAmor Broadcasting Systems (now DCG Radio-TV Network). In August 1997, 97.9 FM was acquired by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation and began test broadcasts in mid-1998 under the callsign DWQZ.^[1]
