History

1973–1992: DZBU/DWDM

The station began in 1973 as DZBU, airing programs from sister station DZEC. In November 1978, it moved to 95.5 FM as DZEC shifted to 1062 AM. It adopted the call letters DWDM in 1981.

1992–2002: Pinoy Radio

In 1992, the station became Pinoy Radio DM 95.5 (pronounced “ninety-five-five”), adopting an all-OPM format and pioneering the use of mixed Filipino-English by its DJs. It also launched the Pinoy Music Awards to honor OPM artists. The station operated until it went off the air in 2002.

2002–2007: DWDM 95.5

In 2002, the station rebranded as DWDM 95.5 (pronounced “ninety-five-point-five”), a fully automated adult contemporary station known as “Dazzling Music” with the slogan “Feel Your Music.” It played 90s to contemporary hits on weekdays, rock on weeknights (“Fascinating Refreshing Classics”), and 70s–80s music on weekends. It ceased transmission in January 2007 for transmitter upgrades, briefly returned in May with limited hours, then went off the air again on June 8, 2007.

2011–2020: Pinas FM

On April 8, 2011, 95.5 FM returned to the airwaves for a month-long test broadcast, with its studios relocated from Maligaya Bldg. II on EDSA to the New Era University Barn Building. On May 16, 2011, it officially launched as Pinas FM 955 (pronounced “ninety-five-five”), starting at 4:00 am with the program Newsic, followed by former Pinoy Radio DJs. Initially, its playlist included foreign tracks, similar to other masa stations. On February 12, 2013, the station, along with DZEC Radyo Agila and Net 25, moved to the new EBC Building in Quezon City.

In April 2014, Pinas FM launched its new theme song, "Pinas FM: Tahanan ng OPM" (The Home of OPM), featuring Davey Langit, Aikee, and Chadleen Lacdo-o.

On October 5, 2014, Pinas FM became the country’s first and only FM station to play exclusively Original Pilipino Music, supporting the advocacy of promoting Filipino talent. Leading up to this, the station gradually phased out foreign tracks. It also became the official radio partner of the Organisasyon ng mga Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM).^[2]

From July 1 to September 29, 2019, the station operated with fully automated music as part of its relaunch preparations.

On September 30, 2019, Pinas FM 95.5 was relaunched with a new jingle, “Pinoy Ka, Dito Ka,” composed by DJ Rapido and performed by Ney Dimaculangan and Acel Bisa. The jingle debuted during the relaunch event, The Switch.^[3]

On December 21, 2020, the station’s jocks aired their final broadcast.

2021-present: Eagle FM

On December 29, 2020, the station dropped the Pinas FM branding and format, switching to a classic hits format under the interim name 95.5 FM.

On January 20, 2021, it rebranded as Eagle FM 95.5, with its jocks returning on air by January 25. Former ABS-CBN DJs Richard Enriquez (now deceased) and Toni Aquino (now with DZBB) joined the lineup, along with several former Pinas FM jocks.^[4]
