Paseo de Roxas Makati Central Business District. From 1984, it had the Contemporary Hit Radio format, competing directly with 99.5 RT. It changed its name to Kiss Jazz 101.1 & transformed into a smooth jazz format from 1988 - 1990 competing directly with Citylite 88.3 (now Jam 88.3) before it quietly went-off the air.
During 1992, MBC launched the show business gossip and music station, 101.1 Showbiz Tsismis. At that time, its callsign was DWST, which stood for "Showbiz Tsismis" (Showbiz Gossip). 101.1 Showbiz Tsismis had a mix of show business news and the latest music hits, and even employed reporters with a reporting style similar to that of local AM stations.
