The station first signed on the air on April 19, 1992 as Killerbee 92.3. It carried a Top 40 format with the tagline "Music Mix is Simply Better".
The station was initially located at the Cebu Plaza Hotel (now Marco Polo Plaza Cebu) along Lower Nivel Hills from its inception until 2006, when it relocated to its current location at the BSP Camp along Capitol Hills (shared facilities with 94.7 Energy FM until 2014; though its transmitter site remained there).
On April 26, 2013, Killerbee 92.3 officially signed off. As part of the rebranding of all Quest provincial stations to be aligned with its parent station, the station relaunched under the Magic moniker on April 29, 2013.[4][5]
On December 27, 2024, Magic 92.3 quietly signed off for the last time.
2025–present: Frequency takeover by Y2H
In January 2025, Y2H Broadcasting Network, a broadcast company of the Uy family, took over the station's operations after Quest agreed to sell airtime to the said company. Prior to this, Y2H already had presence in Cebu through 88.3 XFM and a shared sales agreement with Y101.
On January 22, the station went back on air under a test broadcast as Uy FM, airing automated music with commercials from Yes2Health products. On March 17, the station dropped the branding and started carrying the tagline "Something Hot, Something Red" as part of transition phase for a planned rebrand.
On May 18, 2025, the station began simulcasting Y101 as Red Hot X92, a nod to Y101's long-time branding.[6][7][8]
On September 15, 2025, the station was launched as Solid FM 92.3 with a soft adult contemporary format.
