History
The station was established on October 30, 2015, on Hypersonic Broadcasting Center-owned 100.3 FM as Z100.3 Zagitsit News FM.
On November 8, 2021, as a result of the Cease and Desist Order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission, Zagitsit News FM went off the air due to violation of some policies for provisional authority in broadcasting. However, the management dismissed the claims, stating that political issues are involved in the station's closure.[5][6] On December 9, 2021, it resurfaced as an online platform under the name Zagitsit News Online.
On August 13, 2022, Zagitsit News FM returned to terrestrial radio via Katigbak Enterprises-owned 101.9 FM.
In the morning of April 10, 2023, as a result of the Cease and Desist Order issued by the National Telecommunications Commission, Zagitsit News FM went off the air for the second time due to lack of legal papers in operating the station. However, the management dismissed the claims for the same reason since its Chief Operating Officer, Jun Alegre, ran for Provincial Board Member of Albay under the ticket of disqualified Governor Noel Rosal in the 2022 elections. Not long after, Joe Portugal replaced Alegre as station manager. On April 17, 2023, it resurfaced anew as an online platform under the name Zagitsit News Online.
