But by late August 2010, the station underwent a complete reformat as it shifted from an A-B format to a "pang-masa" format. This is The Radio Partners Inc.'s first venture into the mainstream, mass-based market.

Seven of Manila
's best disc jockeys (Joe Schmoe, Paul Reno, Jay Latin, Dick Reese, Joshua, Martin Gill and Little David) set out to form a radio station that would best the much-established and well-known old hands of the industry. The new station occupied the frequency, studios and equipment formerly handled by the defunct standards music station DWCS
(103.5 CS, then owned by Global Broadcasting System) and changed its call sign to DWKX. K-Lite started airing on October 23, 1995.The first DJ to go on the air was Joe Schmoe; his first song was Pride (In the Name of Love) by U2. Within a few months, it became the favorite radio station of the young professionals and more outspoken listeners.
Offering the best of adult contemporary music
and spicing everyday music fare with daring, thought provoking talk, Manila's "First InterActive Radio Station" became a reality. Through the years, K-Lite aired quality talk shows including the groundbreaking program, Talk Back with Joshua (replaced by Vince in 2005) and Jinji, as well as Nitelite with Li'l David, Monica and The Blade, Girl Talk with Monica and Jinji, Sportslite with Anthony Suntay and Twisted with Jessica Zafra
and Li'l David. K-Lite made radio talk shows a staple in the FM band.
The station changed its format to attract more audiences from different demographics. From "Right Kind of Lite" format in the late 1990s to "Best Music of the 80s, 90s & Today" in the turn of the century to "Manila's Lite Alternative" in 2003 to 2006. K-Lite began playing alternative rock
and sometimes hard rock music on a more frequent basis.
103.5 K-Lite made promotional events that meant more than just parties. The station brought their loyal listeners to get front row seats to the Grammy Awards, International concert tours and celebrity events, and later on, serving free Starbucks Coffee to the call centre agents in the past few years. K-Lite also made its milestone as the very first radio station that covered The Dodgeball Cup on The Morning Brew.
Disc jockeys of K-Lite made their final broadcast altogether on November 30, 2006 to give thanks to their beloved listeners.
Its lite alternative format has since been carried over to sister station Jam 88.3
.
The lineup consisted of the shows as "THE RIDE" with Janice & Migz from 6-10am, "THE WORKSPACE" with Micky from 10am-2pm, "THE PITSTOP" with Claudine from 2-4pm, & "SUNDOWN" with Tanya from 4-8pm. Past shows: "THE CHATROOM" with Lia from 8pm-12MN & "THE FLIGHT" with Mikey from 12MN-4am.
Heart 1035 had a number of promotional events in the span of six months (Heart Cinemania Premieres, Drives & Jives Stickering, Heart on Air & Ice, Voices for Albay, and others). But in May 2007, Heart 1035 sponsored "The Best Damn Thing
" Contest where they sent one of their loyal listeners to Hong Kong
to meet Avril Lavigne
in person for a special Asian Launch of her album "The Best Damn Thing
" at the Hong Kong
Convention Center.
Also in May 2005, Heart 1035 won the award for Caltex
Fastbreak to the NBA Promo as "The Best Radio Station in Execution of a Promo" beating out other competing radio stations (Jam 88.3, Wave 89.1, Magic 89.9, RX 93.1, Hit 99.5 (now 99.5RT), and Crossover 105.1).
On June 18, 2007, the Heart personalities made their final broadcast as a group.
Though Heart 1035 lasted for only six months, due to management & other issues, it was renamed as "103½ Max FM".
, which at that time was known as 99.5 Hit FM.
, whose direction focuses mostly on pure underground club product, as opposed to DWKX's straight-ahead broader approach. In addition, DWKX also becomes the first fully licensed commercial Dance radio outlet to cover Metro Manila since the demise of 89 DMZ, whose frequency is currently occupied by Rhythmic contemporary
sister station Wave 891.
On June 19, 2010, right on the third anniversary of the station, and prior to that, it underwent some minor changes, among others the line-up of DJs and their shows, the revision of how they identify themselves on-air (they dropped the "one-oh-three and-a-half Max FM" in favor of "one-oh-three point five Max FM", as the former is said to be not that much suitable for radio), and the dropping of some of its long-running local programs and foreign syndicated dance programs.
On August 5,2010, the jocks of Maxville made their final broadcast to give thanks to their listeners. Max FM resurfaced as an Internet radio station now called Global Max Radio
, which was launched last October 1, 2010.
