Radio remains an important part of daily life in Iligan City. Local stations deliver breaking news, public-service announcements, music, community discussions, religious programming, entertainment, and live updates during severe weather or other emergencies.
This directory brings together publicly verifiable AM and FM stations broadcasting from Iligan City. It includes frequencies, station formats, network affiliations, contact channels, studio locations, and online listening options where these details are publicly available.
Radio frequencies and station branding can change. Some licensed frequencies may also become temporarily inactive, change operators, or continue through online broadcasting while technical work is underway. For that reason, this guide separates stations with current public activity from frequencies whose operating status requires direct confirmation.
The article follows the directory structure proposed in the uploaded local-radio content outline, including station lists, listening methods, locations, and community uses.

Overview of Radio Broadcasting in Iligan City
Iligan’s radio market includes commercial networks, independent local broadcasters, government media, religious stations, and music-focused FM outlets. Programming is commonly delivered in Cebuano, Filipino, and English, depending on the station and program.
FM carries most of the city’s current station choices. Listeners can find news and commentary, contemporary music, OPM, religious content, public-affairs discussions, entertainment segments, and community announcements across the band.
AM broadcasting is much smaller. RMN’s DXIC 711 is the only Iligan-based AM station that could be confirmed through a current network listing and an actively maintained local page. RMN identifies DXIC 711 Iligan as part of its Mindanao AM network, while the station’s Facebook presence continues to publish Iligan news and live programming.
Radio reception can extend beyond the city proper, but reliable coverage depends on transmitter power, elevation, terrain, buildings, receiver quality, interference, and weather. Because Iligan stretches from coastal communities into elevated inland barangays, reception can differ considerably from one area to another.

Complete List of AM Radio Stations in Iligan City
DXIC RMN Iligan 711 AM
Frequency: 711 kHz
Call sign: DXIC
Format: News, public affairs, commentary, entertainment and public service
Network: Radio Mindanao Network
Address: Corner Ramiro Street, Purok 9 Bayug, Barangay Hinaplanon, Iligan City

The station has occasionally announced temporary technical interruptions while continuing its programming online. This is a useful reminder that an empty frequency does not always mean a station has permanently closed.
What Happened to Bombo Radyo Iligan and Radyo Totoo?
Older directories list Bombo Radyo Iligan on 1296 AM and Radyo Totoo Iligan on 1458 AM. However, no current official Iligan page, recent station programming, verified local studio information or active network listing could be confirmed for either operation.
Bombo Radyo continues to operate a station in Cagayan de Oro, and its reports cover Iligan City, but that does not establish an active Bombo transmitter based in Iligan. The Cagayan de Oro station identifies its facilities in Cagayan de Oro and Opol.
These two AM frequencies should not be presented as currently active Iligan stations without direct confirmation from the NTC or the broadcasters themselves.
Stations That Are Silent or Temporarily Off Air
90.1 DXND
DXND 90.1 was formerly operated by GMA Network and carried brands including Campus Radio and Wow FM. Available station records report that it went off the air in October 2022 and currently has a silent status.
It should therefore not be counted as an active listening option unless GMA Network or the NTC announces a return.
100.9 Radyo Bandera Iligan
The station’s public Facebook page announced that 100.9 DXMA Radyo Bandera News FM would temporarily sign off beginning October 1, 2025, for renovation. No later public confirmation of its full return was located during verification.
Listeners should check its Facebook page for a resumption announcement before relying on 100.9 FM.
Popular Radio Networks Serving Iligan
Several national and regional broadcasting groups maintain Iligan stations:
Radio Mindanao Network operates DXIC 711 AM and maintains iFM 102.3 as its music-and-news FM service. RMN describes its national service as focused on local news, public service and entertainment.
MBC Media Group is associated with Yes FM 99.3 and Love Radio 107.1. These stations emphasize music, entertainment and audience interaction.

How to Listen to Iligan Radio Stations
Use a regular FM or AM receiver
For FM, extend the antenna fully and place the radio near a window or in an open area. Small changes in position can improve reception, especially inside concrete buildings.
For 711 AM, rotate the radio rather than simply extending its antenna. Portable AM receivers often use an internal directional antenna, so turning the device can reduce static.
Try a car radio
Car receivers usually have stronger antennas than inexpensive portable radios. They are useful for checking whether a weak signal is caused by the station, the terrain or the receiver inside your home.
Listen through official Facebook broadcasts
Many Iligan stations stream news programs and interviews through Facebook Live. RMN DXIC, Wild FM, Brigada News FM, Juander Radyo, FMR Iligan, Radyo Pilipinas and Nonglading Radio all maintain public social pages with broadcast content.
Use official streams or station apps
Brigada provides a dedicated Iligan stream, while Wild FM Iligan has an Android listening app. Other stations may publish temporary stream links through Facebook rather than maintaining a permanent player.
Avoid assuming that a third-party radio app is the station’s official service. Confirm the station name, frequency and linked social page first.
Contacting an Iligan Radio Station
The most dependable contact method is usually the station’s official Facebook page. This is particularly useful for:
- News tips and incident reports
- Public-service announcements
- Event invitations
- Advertising inquiries
- Song requests and greetings
- Lost-and-found notices
- Interview requests
- Corrections to an aired report
Include your full name, callback number, location, subject and preferred broadcast date. For urgent news tips, provide verifiable details and avoid sending unconfirmed accusations or identifying vulnerable individuals without a legitimate public-interest reason.
Before visiting a studio, message or call first. Radio operations can move even when old addresses remain visible on directories.
Radio Advertising in Iligan City
Local radio can help businesses reach commuters, market vendors, drivers, households, office workers and listeners in communities where social-media exposure alone may be inconsistent.
Common advertising arrangements can include recorded commercials, live presenter mentions, program sponsorships, interviews, event coverage and promotional tie-ins. Exact rates were not published consistently by the stations reviewed, so no price estimates are included here.
Ask each station for:
- Its current rate card
- Available program time slots
- Spot duration and daily frequency
- Production charges
- Package duration
- Social-media inclusion
- Geographic coverage claims
- Proof of airing or monitoring reports
- Payment and cancellation terms
Do not select a station solely because it claims to be number one. Match the station’s programming, language, listener profile and broadcast schedule to the people your campaign needs to reach.
Radio During Emergencies
Battery-powered radio remains useful when mobile data becomes unstable or electricity is interrupted. Local stations may relay government advisories, road conditions, weather warnings, evacuation information, class suspensions and public-service messages.
Keep a portable radio, spare batteries and a written list of local frequencies in your emergency kit. During a serious event, verify instructions against official announcements from Iligan City government agencies, national government offices and recognized broadcasters.
The NTC regulates radio broadcasting and manages the radio spectrum in the Philippines. Its mandate includes supervising the installation, operation and maintenance of radio stations.
Conclusion
Iligan City has a varied radio landscape led by music-focused FM stations, news-and-talk broadcasters, religious programming, government radio and the city’s established 711 AM service.
For news and public affairs, listeners can begin with DXIC RMN 711, Brigada News FM 95.1, FMR 96.7, Radyo Pilipinas 105.5 and locally produced programming on 104.1. Music listeners have options including RJFM 88.7, Yes FM 99.3, iFM 102.3, Wild FM 103.1 and Love Radio 107.1.
Save the stations you use most, follow their verified social pages and check for current announcements whenever a frequency appears silent. Radio in Iligan is not a frozen dial. It changes operators, formats and platforms, so direct confirmation remains the clearest signal.
