History

The station was established on August 24, 1985, as 95.5 IF on 95.5 FM. It aired a Top 40 format with the slogan, "The Rhythm of the City". In less than a year, IF was ranked by the KBP-Radio Research Council as the #1 FM radio station in the city. On April 22, 1994, to provide a more solid identity for all of Bombo Radyo's FM stations, IF was re-launched as 95.5 Star FM and switched to a mass-based format. In 2011, it moved its frequency to 95.9 FM for better signal reception. On February 3, 2014, Bombo Network News began simulcasting in several Star FM stations. In the 1st quarter of 2016, to emphasize more on the music, Star FM started carrying the slogan "It's All For You".
