The station was established in 1997 as Wild 92.7 WT in Bacolod. In the early 2000s, it rebranded as Wild FM. In April 2011, it relocated to Iloilo City. In September 2016, it moved its frequency from 92.7 FM to 105.9 FM for better signal reception.[1]
On April 8, 2017, at 12:55 am, the station's transmitter caught fire, leaving the station off the air. It was declared fire out past 2am. A few days later after the fire incident, the station resumed its broadcast.
