DWEC (94.3 FM) was a radio station owned and operated by the ABS-CBN Corporation. Its studios and transmitter were located at the ABS-CBN Complex, A.B. Fernandez East, Dagupan.[1]

History

The station was known as Magic 94 under the ownership of Molave Broadcasting Network in the 1980s. In 1994, ABS-CBN acquired the station. On November 17, 1995, it was launched as STAR Radio Northern Luzon. In 1997, under the formation of ABS-CBN Regional Network Group, it was rebranded as ABS-CBN Radio. On July 15, 2001, the station, along with the other ABS-CBN regional stations, rebranded as MOR: My Only Radio.[2]

On May 5, 2020, the station, along with the other My Only Radio stations, went off the air due to the cease and desist order of the National Telecommunications Commission. It currently operates as an online platform.[3] Meanwhile, the frequency is currently used by Baguio-based Favorite Music Radio.
