History
In September 2011, the National Telecommunications Commission issued to the Seventh-day Adventist Church Provisional Authorities for two radio stations: DXHR-AM in Butuan and DXDB-FM in Iligan. On January 11, 2012, Hope Radio was inaugurated on 1323 kHz at its broadcast center located at the church's Northeastern Mindanao headquarters, becoming the second station of Hope Radio Philippines to be established after DXCR in Bukidnon.[5] Not long after, it established its FM relay station via 93.5 MHz. In 2016, it closed down its AM operations and transferred them to FM.[6]
Its daily broadcast has been focusing mainly on evangelism as well as sacred music while also included news and public service programs.[5][7]
Coverage
The station, while in AM and through its 10-kW power,[8] had its signal reaching Northern Mindanao and Caraga regions, parts of Davao Region, as well as Leyte and Bohol islands.[5] With the station currently broadcasting on FM, its signal now only reaches Caraga.[7]
