It was managed by Mike Enriquez, at that time known as "Baby Michael", and he left in 1995 to be acquired in GMA Network to prepare for the elections and he known as Mr. Saksi. 93.9 WKC operations were at the Philcomcen Bldg. in Ortigas Center, Pasig. It played pop music through its existence. On November 22, 1999 at 11:00PM it signed off as 93.9 WKC

Davis who was responsible for making 102.7 Star FM, WRR 101.9 For Life! (now Tambayan 101.9), 101.1 YES! FM and 90.7 Love Radio successful stations. In June 2007, RMN FM station DWKC 93.9 in Manila was the first commercial station in the country to broadcast with HD Radio technology. It broadcast in three HD Radio digital audio channels along with its pre-existing analog signal. The operation of its facility was in high-level combined hybrid mode with an existing 35 kW analog transmitter, a new Nautel 1 kW HD Radio transmitter, with the digital exciter, importer and exporter providing the digital signal component.^[1] In June 2008, iFM launched another tagline Pinalakas!, as a result. As the Makati Studios were transferred to Atlanta Center in San Juan City, RMN's Sister Station, DZXL and its studios remained in Makati City.
