XFM is a Philippine broadcast FM radio network owned by Y2H Broadcasting Network.[1] It is based in Tagum, Davao del Norte.
It began its broadcast in February 28, 2022, when a group of mediamen led by Yes2Health CEO Dr. Remelito Y. Uy, took over the operations of RMCBC-owned DXDE-FM in Tagum. This formed the nucleus of XFM until it transferred its base operations to DXSS-FM in Davao City later that year. After its successful launch, XFM expanded into various markets across the country by the use of airtime lease management.[2][3][4]
Aside from its news and music programming, XFM also airs gospel music every Friday 6:00 pm to Saturday 6:00 pm under The Gospel Hour block due to its owner's affiliation with the Seventh Day Adventist Reform Movement.
In addition, Y2H also owns Solid FM, the secondary brand of XFM.
