History

The station began regular operations barely 11 days before the end of the Marcos dictatorship, or on Valentine's Day 1986. It became a witness to history unfolding before the Filipinos. The station started broadcasting from the Philippine Communications Center building in Pasig City, starting with an on- air crew led by Burning Bernie (now the station's president and general manager), Little David and Joe D'Mango. In 1999, the Magic transferred its studios from the Philippine Communications Center to Paragon Plaza in Mandaluyong City.

Magic 89.9 became the first home of "Love Notes", the 15 minute counseling program hosted by Joe D'Mango that became an instant hit among office staff every Friday morning. It transferred its home to its sister station Wave 89.1 in 2001. It is always known for making Fridays nostalgia days with its Friday Madness (then Friday Magic Madness), a format that started a trend on FM radio that was previously only done on a weekend.[year needed] Mo Twister, after four years in hiatus, returned to Magic 89.9, with Good Times With Mo (Limited Edition). It was so good, that he returned again in February 2006 with Good Times With Mo, then a late night show. In June 2006, it was transferred to the morning slot (6-9 AM) with Mo's co-hosts Andi-9 (resigned in February 2007,returned in June 2007, and left again on November 2007) and Mojo Jojo. Andi's replacement is now Grace Lee.[dubious ] Another change of lineup and programming happened in June 2006 and again in March 2007. On July 17, 2007, The Magic website was in operation once more to serve the net surfing Magic 89.9 listeners. HiT FM 99.5 DJ Sam YG (a former member of its now-defunct Campus Patrol program until 2005 after which he transferred to 99.5 RT (the predecessor of HIT FM)), was featured in a plug in this said station (heard in early July), where Mo Twister played the station manager. For that stunt, he was suspended from HiT FM 99.5 and eventually transferred to the Magic effective July 14, 2007.
