DWBM, broadcasting as 105.1 Crossover, is a Smooth Jazz/Adult Contemporary radio station in Metro Manila owned by Mareco Broadcasting Network, Inc.. The station's studio is located in the Santa Mesa Heights neighbourhood of Quezon City, while its transmitter is located in Barangay San Carlos, Binangonan, Rizal. It operates daily from 6:00 AM to 2:00 AM (except during Holy Week when it is off-air from midnight of Maundy Thursday until 6:00 AM of Easter Sunday).
The Mareco Broadcasting Network, Inc. made its debut in the radio industry in March 1963. Its first AM station, DZBM 1040 kHz, originally served only as a promotional venue for Mareco's Mabuhay and Villar record brands. It also held the local license to produce and market foreign music labels from a peak of over a hundred major international recording companies. During this time, DZBM played the latest and widest variety of popular music and was consistently no. 1 in the surveys, contributing significantly in popularizing radio as a prime entertainment medium in Manila.
With its increasing listenership, Mareco Broadcasting Network eventually opened DZBM to commercial advertising. For enhanced quality, the station moved from AM to the FM band and became known as DWLM-FM at 105.1 MHz in 1973 as Super Tunog Pinoy 105.1 with an all-OPM format (DWDM-FM, owned by Eagle Broadcasting Corporation would have an all-OPM radio format beginning with Pinoy Radio DM 95.5 from 1992-2002 and again with Pinas FM 95.5 on May 16, 2011), later reformatted as Power 105 BM FM in 1985 with a New Wave and Contemporary hit radio format and changed its callsign to DWBM. In the early 1990s, the network underwent several changes in management, as well as programming, with the end result being 105.1 Crossover in June 1994 with a smooth jazz format.
