The station first signed on as SHIPJ on october 24th, 1987 and started with an effective radiated power of 10,000 watts, the studios were located at 27 de Febrero ave. and It was founded by the Dominican radio host and producer José Lluberes and branded as Sonido Suave. It began as a Spanish-language Bolero and Ballad station serving what is now the Distrito Nacional, later adding more soft adult contemporary, English-language music for younger listeners and a news segment, as well as expanding its reach to the Greater Santo Domingo.[5]
