History

1998-2014: As an Test Broadcast , Easy Listening Station

DWQZ Started as a Test Broadcast in Mid-1998,But in September 11,2000,Home Radio adopted an automated AC format, dubbed as the "#1 Easy Listening Station" in Metro Manila. After gaining success in half a year, it was then implemented to its provincial stations. Aside from its usual Weekday programming, it aired a CHR-oriented programming during Sundays.

In 2006, Home Radio introduced its first fully automated DJ, Jackie (voiced by Lannie Chan). In 2009, it recruited female (and later, male) DJs on board, following the less talk, more music style.

On February 28, 2014, after 14 years, the Home Radio network bade goodbye to its easy listening format, following its transition for the next 2 weeks.

2014-2015: As a Hot AC/Top 40 station

On March 17, 2014, the Home Radio network reformatted to a Hot AC format, with a new slogan, "Natural!".

2015-present: As a CHR Local station

On April 5,2015, the station was revamped once more, with a different sound and tagline execution. The current format is CHR/Top 40 music mixed with OPM, simply known as CHR Local.

Recently, the "Natural!" slogan was retired.
