The station was established in 2000 by former Magic 89.9 personality and current head of the Philippine Broadcasting Service Rizal "Bong" Aportadera, Jr. (known on-air as "Sonny B") and Randall Ong as Red Hot Mix FM 105.9. Aportadera once served as city information officer at Davao City's local government. In 2005, the "Red Hot" was eventually dropped and it was simply known as "105.9 Mix FM". On that same year, Mix FM became the number one radio station in the city.
