History
1995-2002: Kiss FM
The station was established in 1995 as 103.5 Kiss FM. Dubbed as "Philippines' first digital FM radio", it aired a Top 40 format. It was manned by former ABC 21 Cebu broadcast journalist Elmer Rivera Karaan, known on-air as Antique "AJ" Joe. Back then, it was located at the 4th level of Ayala Center Cebu.[4][5]
2002-2015: Wild FM
Wild FM Cebu used to be on 105.9 FM under the call letters DYWC from 1994 to 2000. In August 2002, the station was acquired by UMBN from Ditan Communications and was relaunched as 103.5 Wild FM with its first site at the University of San Carlos main campus along Pelaez St.
On March 27, 2005, Wild FM moved to a new site at Doña Luisa Bldg., Fuente Osmeña, uptown Cebu.
On late January 2015, after almost 12 years on the air, Wild FM quietly ended its broadcast and went off the air for a month.
2015-present: Retro Cebu
On March 16, 2015, the station resumed its broadcast, this time as 103.5 Retro Cebu with a classic hits format. A year later, the Retro was adapted by its Davao station.[6]
At the evening of December 16, 2021, the station went off the air for the second time following the aftermath of Typhoon Odette. On January 14, 2022, it resumed operations after power was restored in Doña Luisa Bldg.
