DXXL (93.9 FM), broadcasting as 93.9 iFM News, is a radio station owned and operated by the Radio Mindanao Network. The station's studio is located at the 2/F San Vicente Bldg., Iñigo St. cor. Bonifacio St., Davao City, and its transmitter is located along Broadcast Ave., Shrine Hills, Matina, Davao City.

Established in 1977, DXXL was RMN's fourth FM station in Mindanao for soft launch. A year later, the station began operations as 93.9 XL-FM, carrying a CHR/Top 40 with the slogan "The Pride and Joy of Davao City". At that time, its original studio and transmitter were located along Shrine Hills, Matina. During the 80s, it was among the top-rated stations in the city, along with DXSS and DXBM. On August 16, 1992, the station was relaunched as Smile Radio 93.9 XL-FM with a mass-based format. On November 23, 1999, it rebranded as 939 XLFM and switched back to a CHR/Top 40 format, with its slogan "Live it Up!". On May 16, 2002, the station rebranded as 93.9 iFM and went back to a mass-based format. On 2022, it began using its tagline Unsa pa'y answer? Matik! along with other iFM stations in Mindanao. In 2024, it started carrying iFM News branding along with other iFM Mindanao stations.

On March 11, 2026, due to the impact of the increase in oil prices which has affected the operational costs, the station (along with other stations in Manila and Cebu) temporarily ceased its round-the-clock operations and reduced back its daily broadcast schedule to 21 hours, signing off at 12:00 midnight.
