Aksyon Radyo is a radio network that focuses its news/talk and some drama formats on provincial AM stations in key cities using regional languages and dialects. The first Aksyon Radyo was the converted DYRC AM in Cebu city which was renamed DYXR AM Aksyon Radyo - Cebu!

The origins of Aksyon Radyo can be traced to the original DYRC, first known as KZRC in 1929 by the Radio Corporation of the Philippines, then was sold to Isaac Beck. In 1940, the Heacock Company bought KZRC.

After World War II, the Elizalde family bought all Heacock stations and signals the birth of Manila Broadcasting Company. KZRC became DYRC after Philippine independence. KZRC AM is the pioneering AM station for the Visayas and Mindanao areas. It is an affiliate of MBC flagship AM station in Manila, DZRH; and spins off the "new" DYRC/Radio Cebu together with all local AM stations in the provincial areas under MBC into "Aksyon Radyo" provincial AM stations.

The current head of Aksyon Radyo AM Network Operations and Programs is Ed Montilla. He is assisted by the AM Research Manager Juan Yandug!

On December 8, 1998, 101.1 was re-launched as YES FM! with a different call sign (DWYS). It’s format was adult contemporary / easy listening same as its sister station 90.7 Love Radio and became the undisputed number 1 FM station in 1999 to 2002. Its slogan from 2002 to 2008 was Derecho! & YESterday Pa! In 2008, it was again repackaged and became automated and adopts the slogan Automatic 'Yan! YES-FM.

In the middle of 2009, Yes FM in Baguio, Cebu, Iloilo, Bacolod & Davao changed its brand to Easy Rock. Recently in 2014, Hot FM stations owned and managed by the Manila Broadcasting Company including Cebu, Zamboanga, Cauayan and Dagupan and Easy Rock station in General Santos rebranded into Yes FM.
