DXWZ started in Cagayan De Oro in 1991 using the identity Wild Z. Like other Wild FM stations in Davao, Butuan, Iligan, Valencia, Bukidnon and Gen. Santos, DXWZ immediately caught the attention and fancy of radio listeners with its Contemporary Hit Radio (CHR) format, anchored on the 20-minute nonstop disco mix format every hour. Radio listeners were thrilled and competitors baffled. The Wild FM craze had once again swept another city!

Wild Z eventually became Wild FM to conform to the network identity. Wild FM is considered the official dance station in Cagayan De Oro, still one of the leading FM stations in the city.

DXWZ targets the youth market, 13-24 years old in the C-D-E market as its primary target audience while the young adult, 25 to 35 years old, in the C-D-E market is its secondary target audience.
