==History== DYVL was established on October 17, 1957 as a regional version of [[DZRH]]. In 1972, the station was one of the casualties of Martial Law, but went back on air after a year as Sunshine City a localized version of [[DWIZ-AM|DWIZ]]. In 1978, DYVL transferred its frequency from 800 kHz to 819 kHz per GE75. By this time, it was located in Justice Romualdez S. cor. Real St. In 1991, Sunshine City became Radyo Balita. In 1998, it was among the stations relaunched under MBC's regional Aksyon Radyo network.

In 2013, the station went off the air after its offices and transmitter in Brgy PHHC. Seaside, [[Tacloban]] were destroyed by [[Typhoon Haiyan|Typhoon Yolanda]], killing two of its reporters. In early 2014, it moved to its present home in [[Palo, Leyte]], where it went back on the air.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2013-11-15 |title=Four journalists killed, six missing in Philippine storm |url=https://cpj.org/2013/11/four-journalists-killed-six-missing-in-philippine/ |access-date=2025-01-05 |website=Committee to Protect Journalists |language=en-US}}</ref>
