On August 16, 1992, the station was relaunched as Smile Radio 99.1 with the slogan "The Voice of Music". It was one of few Smile Radio station with the same format, along with DYHT in Bacolod. On November 23, 1999, Smile Radio was rebranded as 991 VMFM (pronounced as "nine-nine-one") with its slogan "Live It Up!".
