It has known as NBC DXYZ Radyo 963 later Angel Radyo 963 in the 1990s. In 1998, PLDT media subsidiary MediaQuest Holdings bought NBC from the consortium led by the Yabut family and real estate magnate Manny Villar. In 2005, The Kingdom of Jesus Christ (KJC) leader, Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy purchased all of NBC AM radio stations, including DXYZ, and rebranded them as Sonshine Radio.
