Diamond 95.5 (1987–1992)
From 1987 to 1992, the station was launched under the brand Diamond 95.5. It played mainstream music.
Pinoy Radio DM 95.5 (1992–2002)
In 1992, it changed its name to Pinoy Radio DM 95.5 (ninety-five-five). Its format featured OPM. It was also one of the first radio stations with DJs that spoke a mix of Filipino and English. It also launches the Pinoy Music Awards where OPM artists and songs are recognized. The station lasted for 10 years until it went off the air in 2002.
DWDM 95.5 (2002–2007)
In 2002, it was rebranded as DWDM 95.5 as a fully automated station. It played music from the '70s up to the latest music hits with less talk and commercials. It was branded as "Dazzling Music", and also adapted the station's slogan "Feel Your Music".
It ceased transmission in January 2007 to upgrade its transmitter facilities. In May 2007, it briefly returned in the airwaves on a lower bandwidth and limited broadcast hours (9 am - 1 pm). However, it went off the air again on June 8, 2007.
Pinas FM 95.5 (2011–present)
On April 8, 2011, 95.5 FM returned to the airwaves with a test broadcast. At that time, it moved its studios from Maligaya Bldg. II in EDSA to New Era University Barn Building (currently used for INC Radio DZEM 954). On May 16, Pinas FM 95.5 (ninety-five-five) was launched. It began its broadcast at 4:00 am with Newsic, followed by some of the DJs from the Pinoy Radio roster. On February 12, 2013, along with DZEC Radyo Agila 1062 and Net 25, the studios was transferred from the Barn Building (INC Radio DZEM 954 moved there on May 10, 2013) to the then newly built EBC Building in No. 25 Central Avenue, Diliman, Quezon City.
Last April 2014, Pinas FM launched their newest theme song, entitled "Pinas FM: Tahanan ng OPM" featuring Davey Langit, Aikee and Chadleen Lacdo-o.
Since October 5, 2014, Pinas FM became the first and only FM station in the country that plays only Original Pilipino Music, in support of the advocacy of promoting Filipino musical talent. Prior to this, the management slowly reduced (until it eventually abandoned playing) its foreign music content in order to fully transition into an all-OPM radio station.
