The pioneering DJs were Francis Magalona, The Shadow, Peewee, Bug, Chinaman and The Unbeatable. It took five months of sourcing and brainstorming and on November 1, 1989, the need to test the waters arrived. It was a success. For 17 years, Metro Manila was enjoying the music of this radio station occupying the frequency of the defunct KB 89. Finally, on November 18, 1989, 89 DMZ was born and went on air.
