DYSR, branded as SR95, is an FM radio station owned by Big Buzz Ventures with the affiliation of Quest Broadcasting Incorporated. The studio is located at Camp Sea Site, Banilad Dumaguete City. The station was originally owned by National Council of Churches in the Philippines until 2007 when Big Buzz Ventures acquired the station.

SR95 also includes a live broadcast of the 9:00 a.m. service of the Silliman University Church on Sundays (which starts at 9:30 a.m.)

Formerly branded as Wild FM 95.1 from 2005 until 2007 and Killerbee 95.1 from 2007 until 2013, this station, along with the other Killerbee stations, underwent nationwide reformatting, as they were relaunched under the Magic moniker (adopted from its parent station) as Magic 95.1 by April 29, 2013.

In the first quarter of 2014, the station reverted its branding back to just SR95. However, its Top 40 format, programming and ownership remained unchanged besides retaining some Magic (and some Killerbee) stingers aired. It is the one of the two stations owned by Quest to use a different brand name than Magic, which the other one is in Butuan in the Caraga region in Mindanao, branded as "Bee FM 102.3".

The station signs on every 5:30 a.m. and signs off every 12:00 a.m. daily. The station manager of this station is Roy August Bustillo.

Programming

DYSR airs music under the CHR/Top 40 genre under a automated music format to compete with DYFU, a college radio station owned by Foundation University airing the same format from Monday to Thursday and Saturday. Classic hits from most of the late 70's to early 2000 (until 2003) are aired under the Retrospin banner airing every Friday. Remixes of select popular songs are aired under Lunch Grooves every weekday

On Sundays, the station airs Christian music from 5:30 a.m. to 6 a.m. and from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., reggae from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., indie and OPM rock under Local Vocal from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., cover versions of popular songs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and back to CHR/Top 40 music with pop and R&B genre from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. Monday.

Formerly until 2015, live DJs are aired in between music, before breaks and after the program during the weekday and Saturday programming, but now, due to its competition with DYFU, the station rarely used live DJs, and only appears during Sunday afternoon. At one time, the station also made a local version of Boys Night Out, but was cancelled after low ratings.

Brokered programming (or called as blocktimers) are aired weekday mornings from 5:30 to 10 a.m., weeknights and Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m., Wednesday nights from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m., Saturday morning from 5:30 to 8 a.m. and Sunday from 6 to 8 a.m and from 8 to 10 p.m..
