History

1993-2010: UR105 Ultimate Radio

UR105 Ultimate Radio (1993 - 2010)

DYUR was the first radio station of Ultimate Entertainment Inc., established in 1993 as UR105 Ultimate Radio and carried a CHR/Top 40 format. Among the station's talents were Big Brother Bryan, Brenda Starr, Sandy Storm, Dindo, Rendall, Sir Charles, Ryk Orion, McHalley, Joe Phoenix, Bo Fisher and Stephen Lo. It was initially located in the fourth floor of JRDC Building along Osmeña Boulevard until the late 2000s, it relocated to the second floor of AMP Building in Lower Nivel Hills.

2010-2013: Mango Radio

In 2010, following the success of a daily Christian program that was launched a year before, the station rebranded as Mango Radio UR105 and switched to a christian radio format. It also simulcasts a handful of programs from Mango Radio Davao.[3]

It went off the air sometime on the 4th quarter of 2013. Earlier that year, Viva South acquired the franchise of Ultimate Entertainment from the Manalang family, prompting Mango Radio to move its broadcasts online.

2013-2017: Oomph Radio/UR105

Oomph! Radio (2015 - 2017)

In October 2014, the station returned on air under test broadcast, along with a newly purchased Nautel NV10 transmitter. The following month, it started carrying the brand Oomph Radio 105.1, marking Viva Group's first venture in Philippine radio. It carried a CHR/Top 40 format with its slogan "Nice Paminawon". Oomph Radio was officially launched on September 13, 2015, at The Terraces Ayala Center Cebu, featuring James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Yassi Pressman, Andre Paras, Donnalyn Bartolome, Sheyee, Thyro, Yumi, Jeric Medina and MJ Cayabyab, and local acts.

On May 26, 2016, the station brought back its UR105 branding. However, by the end of July 2016, the station rebranded back to Oomph Radio and introduced Anime, J-Pop and K-Pop music to its programming.

In February 2017, the Oomph Radio brand was dropped permanently due to management decision.[4]

2017-2024: Halo Halo Radio

Halo Halo 105.1 (2017 - 2024)

On May 1, 2017, the station was relaunched as Halo Halo, the first and only FM station in each city playing only Original Pilipino Music.[5]

In 2019, the station moved to the third floor of The Space Building in Mandaue, where Viva's satellite offices are also located.

In 2020, at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Halo Halo Radio transition to a fully automated OPM station.

On December 16, 2021, the station 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. Recently, Halo Halo Radio quietly signed off for the last time in 2024.

2024-present: 105.1 TMC

In August 2024, Tops Media Center took over the station's operations and began its test broadcast as 105.1 TMC, taken from its namesake. It became the city's first radio station carrying a Vispop format. It transferred to its new home in the fourth floor of Tops Circle in Busay, Cebu City. Official launching will be held at a later date.
