Since the beginning of operations, the station's studios were located inside the Florete Building in Mapa Street in [[Iloilo City Proper]], until they were relocated to the Bombo Radyo Broadcast Center alongside Luna Street in [[La Paz, Iloilo City|La Paz District]]. The station has been the top radio station since its inception during the 1970s. DYFM was then part of the Northern Broadcasting Corporation. Don Marcelino, the grand old man of Bombo Radyo, accepted a joint venture agreement with former [[Ilocos Sur]] Governor, Antonio D. Villanueva, enabling the station to begin its broadcasts. From humble beginnings and starting with a small number of employees, the Florete Group then acquired the operations of NBC with ten stations and two affiliates in the whole archipelago. It also entered a management alliance together with Consolidated Broadcasting Systems, Newsounds Broadcasting Network and People's Broadcasting Service. From 1967 to 1975, Bombo Radyo Philippines established every station in Laoag, Vigan, Cauayan, Bacolod, General Santos, Palawan, Baguio, Daet and Davao. In 1976, Dr. Rogelio Florete, through the advice of his mother Doña Salome Florete, had started to helm the day-to-day operations of Bombo Radyo. In the same year, the network launched its first FM station [[DYRF-FM|DYRF]]. From then on, the network continued to expand to several markets, including the acquisition of [[DWXB]] from Universal Broadcasting Network in 1987, which would later on carry the call letters [[DWSM]]. ==Radio stations== The following is a list of [[radio stations]] owned and affiliated by Bombo Radyo Philippines.<ref>{{cite web|title=NTC AM Radio Stations via FOI website|url=https://storage.googleapis.com/request-attachments/jUmUDrpO9tvezPBRZBD7zT4rOA3dk5fle3LkTnwDf3WWSh7K5u71ujuLRFVOMUYs57yz4ZVgi8IxFKhmxhDMhZ5EY7quvQ4f0yGC/AMDec2021.pdf|website=foi.gov.ph|date=August 23, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=NTC FM Stations via FOI website|url=https://storage.googleapis.com/request-attachments/R69ps8e1R1YMMdUMUrfCVTvaXzQYjrzUsziVAotfjEKLAP9nMrhxJTHh1tBod4MqfPDJpAMPRBKHdXdphnDFn7FEwkCZfBkW1yNg/FMRADIOSTATIONSASOF%20Dec2021.pdf|website=foi.gov.ph|date=August 23, 2022}}</ref> ===Bombo Radyo=== Bombo Radyo Philippines' [[AM broadcasting|AM]] division, despite the absence of a single radio station in [[Manila]] (but maintaining a newsroom and headquarters in [[Makati]]), is consistently strong in ratings particularly in the [[Visayas]] and [[Mindanao]] regions.

Its flagship station based in [[Manila]], even with the existence of a substantial number of FM stations operating and stiff competition from both [[TV5 Network, Inc.|TV5]]'s and [[GMA Network (company)|GMA Network]]'s own networks as well as from large radio networks ([[Manila Broadcasting Company|MBC]]'s Love Radio, Easy Rock, and Yes The Best; [[Radio Mindanao Network|RMN]]'s iFM and [[Philippine Broadcasting Service|PBS]]'s Republika FM1 and Capital FM2), is the number one radio station in Metro Manila. The network's strongest market segment is with the provincial or rural people currently residing in Manila helped by its strong brand name in the provinces. Until April 22, 1994, Bombo Radyo managed its FM stations locally with each individual unique brand name. However this has all been changed on the said date of April 1994 when the network officially re-branded all 17 FM stations to carry the brand name Star FM and now share the same vision and objective. The re-branding proved to be successful as Star FM now enjoys strong ratings all across the country. On occasion, Star FM stations are tapped to do news gathering, especially when covering local and national elections, during important Senate and hearings, when severe weather (such as typhoons) or disasters strike an affected area, or even breaking news or important news coverage when warranted. All Star FM stations are licensed to People's Broadcasting Service since 2018. {| class="wikitable" |- ! Branding ! Call-Sign ! Frequency ! Power (kW) !
