DYPC (88.7 FM) was a radio station owned and operated by Mandaue Broadcasting Center, the media arm of Mandaue City College. It was an affiliate station of Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation. The station's studio and transmitter were located at the Mandaue City College - Main Campus, H. Abellana St., Brgy. Basak, Mandaue.[1]

History

2013-2015: Campus station

DYPC started its broadcast on June 16, 2013, on 91.8 MHz as a college station of Mandaue City College, an unrecognized and unaccredited private higher education institution owned by Dr. Paulus Mariea L. Cañete. It was known as Cebu's very first campus-based broadcast station when our intention is to broadcast information that educates the public, especially young people and students from around the world aside from music and news at that time. Recently, the station ended its broadcast in late-2014.[2]

2015-2019: Commercial station

On February 3, 2015, DYPC resumes its broadcast on 91.9 MHz, this time under Mandaue Broadcasting Center. The station started carrying a music and news programming, airing news and talk in the morning and music for the rest of the day. At that time, DYPC carried the tagline as "Way Unay!" (lit. like no other).[3]

On August 26, 2015, it was closed down by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for allegedly operating without permit. On August 28, 2015, it resumed its broadcast despite the said warning.[4]

On September 19, 2017, DYPC transferred to 88.7 MHz. It became an affiliate member of Vimcontu Broadcasting Corporation, which also owns DYLA in Cebu City. In December 2017, DYPC upgraded its transmitting power to 5,000 watts.

In July 2019, the station went off the air. However, it currently broadcast via Facebook. Meanwhile, the frequency is currently used by Carcar-based Victory FM.
