There is some certainty as to whether or not this is a hoax (this article has been tagged as a hoax since April 1, 2009).

I have been unable to find anything to verify the existence of this radio station, so I have brought it to AfD. If it does indeed exist, I will withdraw my AfD nomination. Cunard (talk) 08:09, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was a comment on the talk page in December 2008 about this being a hoax:

Hoax Station

There is no Bay Radio in Davao! Bay Radio Stations broadcast outside Metro Manila, Cebu & Davao. This article should be deleted immediately. Underblast (talk) 12:05, 15 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I spent quite a while searching through various meta search engines but couldn't find DXBR-FM anywhere. There is a AM station with the call sign of DXBR, but not a FM station. In addition, I could not find any of the other FM radio stations listed on DXBR-FM. The two websites I found with a list of the radio stations in the Philippines are:

Those were the only two websites I could find with any considerable information.

Having said that: Delete. — Oli ^OR Pyfan! 09:30, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, alleged radio station is not found in the official list of radio stations at the National Telecommunications Commission website. (The NTC is the Philippine equivalent of the FTC, so its website likely contains the list of existing radio and television stations in the Philippines.) I'm inclined to agree with the Talk page comment. --- Tito Pao (talk) 08:57, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
