DXCL (1098 AM) Sonshine Radio was a radio station owned and operated by Swara Sug Media Corporation. The station's studio is located at Corrales Ave. cor. Ramon Chavez St., Cagayan de Oro.[1][2][3][4]

The call letters belonged to a radio station owned by Chronicle Broadcasting Network, whose frequency was on 700 kHz. It was on the air from the 60s to 1972, when Martial Law was declared.

On mid-December 2023, the station, along with the rest of the network, had its operations suspended by the National Telecommunications Commission for 30 days, through an order dated December 19 but was publicized two days later, in response to a House of Representatives resolution, in relation to the alleged franchise violations.[5]
