History
editThe station was established in 1993 as UR105 Ultimate Radio, carrying a CHR/Top 40 format. In 2010, after the success of a daily Christian program, the station rebranded as Mango Radio and carried a christian radio format.[3]
In 2013, Viva Live, Inc. acquired the franchises of Ultimate Entertainment Inc., prompting Mango Radio to move its broadcasts online. It went off the air sometime on the 4th quarter of 2013.
In October 2014, the station went back on air as Oomph Radio 105.1, carrying a CHR/Top 40 format. In June 2016, the station rebranded back to UR105 and added 70s, 80s and 90s to its playlist, despite retaining its format. However, the following month, Oomph Radio returned, this time introducing Anime, J-Pop and K-Pop to its original format. In February 2017, the Oomph Radio brand was retired once again due to management decision.[4]
On May 1, 2017, the station was relaunched under the Halo Halo Radio network, the first and only FM station in each city playing only Original Pilipino Music.
In 2019, the station transferred from AMP Bldg. along Veterans Drive to its current home in The Space Bldg. along A.S. Fortuna St., Mandaue.
On December 16, 2021, it went off the air for the second time as an effect of Typhoon Odette (Rai)'s onslaught, but it returned on-air few weeks later in January 2022 after the power was restored in the station's building. Halo Halo Radio quietly signed off for the last time in 2024.[5]
In August 2024, Tops Media Cebu Corporation took over the station's operations and relaunched it as 105.1 TMC (standing for Tops Media Center) with a Vispop format. It transferred to its new home in Tops Circle in Busay, Cebu City.
