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
National Telecommunications Commission 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, the 97.9 MHz FM frequency was assigned to
Aliw Broadcasting Corporation, which had begun test broadcasts on the frequency on September 28, 1994 under the callsign
DWQZ. ==See also==
