DWCD 97.9 was an FM station owned and operated by Crusaders Broadcasting System. Its radio transmitter and studios were located at Shaw Boulevard, Mandaluyong City from 1986 to 1995 and on 209 E. Dela Paz, Mandaluyong City since 1995.

History

Four years after the launch of DWAD, 97.9 Crusaders FM broadcast since 1986 playing pop, mellow and Christian music. It had temporary permits in 1994 and then in 1996.

In 1997, the station ceased operations because the Broadcast Service Division of the NTC recommended the cancellation and revocation of the permit of Crusaders due to a case filed by ConAmor Broadcasting Systems. In August 1997, 97.9 FM was acquired by Aliw Broadcasting Corporation and began test broadcasts under the callsign DWQZ.

In September 1997, there was a trial court. The commission believes and so holds that respondent’s request for renewal of its temporary permit to operate 97.9 Cusaders FM should be, as it is, hereby DENIED. Therefore, 97.9 Cusaders FM has withdrawn and inactive until today,^[1] as Aliw Broadcasting Corporation began operations of 97.9 Home Radio since 1998, and continues to operate on this frequency up to this day.
