The broadcaster operates as a non-profit institution dedicated to serving the community through education, evangelization, social work, and entertainment. Established on August 28, 1976, it is owned by the Mao-Montecristi diocese and has been founded and directed by the Society of Jesus (Jesuit priests) since its inception. The station’s origins trace back to the vision of Father Cipriano Cavero SJ, who, following his direction of Radio Santa María in La Vega (founded approximately 22 years prior), brought his expertise to the region. The broadcaster aims to provide a valuable service to the community and promote evangelization through its programming and outreach efforts. The station’s daily programming includes several distinct segments. 'A Primera Hora' is an informative review broadcast from 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM, featuring commentary, opinions, and reports from various zones within the northwest region, offering a diverse range of content each day. 'Lo Mejor de la Mañana,' a varied and interactive musical program hosted by Mirian Jiménez, airs Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Additionally, 'Reflexiones Cristianas' provides daily reflections accompanied by the reading of the day’s Gospel, presented by Father Aquiles Ozuna SJ, broadcast at 6:15 AM and 10:15 AM on weekdays. The broadcaster also features news and articles related to the Pastoral de Comunicación’s organization of the first national meeting with communication officials from Catholic universities, discussions on the importance of the relationship between young people and the elderly, and celebrations of religious milestones such as the centennial of the canonical coronation of the image of Our Lady of Altagracia. The broadcaster’s history is deeply intertwined with the Society of Jesus and its commitment to education and evangelization. The station built upon the foundation of Radio Santa María, demonstrating a legacy of Catholic radio broadcasting extending back over four decades. The 65th anniversary of Radio Santa María was also recently celebrated, highlighting a continuing tradition of service and community engagement. The broadcaster's establishment was a direct result of a desire to expand the reach of Catholic messaging and educational resources within the region, furthering the mission initially begun by Father Cipriano Cavero SJ. The broadcaster’s operations are supported by the Pastoral de Comunicación and involve collaborations with various organizations, including the National Commission of the Pastoral de Communication of the Dominican Episcopal Conference.
