It was established by George D. Bayona on October 24, 1958, when the people of Legazpi and the province of Albay had only heard radio from faint broadcast signals from Metro Manila stations.
[1][2][3] At the height of its popularity, Radyo Balagon, as it was fondly called by its subscribers, initially served 3,000 households in Legazpi and the neighboring town of Daraga.
With the continuous increase of subscribers, its area of coverage was expanded to the 1st district of Albay via a cable-relay station in the city of Tabaco.
Barely six months later, it made history when it dominated the local surveys as the most listened-to FM station in the area.
Inspired by the huge success of DWGB-FM in Legazpi City, PBN decided to open another FM station in a more competitive market - Naga, on July 3, 1995.
