History
In September 27, 2004, 11 months after Cojuangco took over the management of ABC, 106.7 was reformatted as Dream FM. The station aired in a smooth jazz format added up with R&B, soul, bossa nova and house music. The station branding was named after Dream Satellite TV, also owned by Cojuangco.
After PLDT's media subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings, Inc. acquired TV5 and its affiliate ABC television stations from the consortium led by the Cojuangco group and Malaysian media conglomerate Media Prima Berhad in March 2010, ABC's radio stations were spun off to become Dream FM Network, led by former ABC stockholder Anton Lagdameo. The ownership of the stations were transferred to Interactive Broadcast Media, after Cojuangco acquired a non-controlling share of the company.
Dream FM Manila signed off at June 30, 2011, with the song, "Till We Meet Again" by Eric Benét. Its provincial stations were shut down a month before. In August 2011, it resumed its broadcast online through Hayag, but ceased its broadcast a few months later. In September 2011, Dream FM Boracay was rechristened as Boracay Beach Radio. On its website, it is described as a "part of the Dream FM Network".
On July 1, 2011, Energy FM Manila transferred to 106.7 FM after 8 years on 91.5 FM. The station was referred to as "Energy FM on Dream".[1][2]
On October 28, 2024, True FM Davao transferred to 106.7 FM from its former frequency, which was acquired by PCMC. This eventually became part of the True Network of TV5 Network and Nation Broadcasting Corporation.
