List of radio stations in Singapore

FM stations

Most Singaporeans are able to receive FM broadcasts from Malaysia and Indonesia if the signal is strong enough.

Listeners who do not have a FM tuner can listen to web streams of all FM stations by either visiting the stations' websites on a desktop or downloading the stations' respective apps on a mobile device. There might be a delay of up to 90 seconds compared to the live FM transmission.

MediaCorp and SAFRA stations utilise RCS Master Control.

History

FM stations

• The first 24 hour radio station, Perfect 10 (now known as 987FM), was launched on 1 January 1989. All radio stations started broadcasting 24/7 starting from 1 January 2008.
• MediaCorp used to offer Visual Radio service on Nokia phones. The first radio stations to utilise Visual Radio are 987FM in December 2005 and Y.E.S 93.3FM in June 2006. The service has since been discontinued.
• The 89.3 MHz frequency on the FM band used to be occupied by TVMobile. An audio simulcast of the TV channel was available until the station closed down on 31 December 2009.
• The 99.5 MHz frequency on the FM band used to be occupied by Passion 99.5FM, a station set up by the National Arts Council in December 1997 that supported and played local music. The station closed down on 31 December 2003 due to the bad economic climate as there was insufficient sponsorship and advertising revenue to cover operating costs. The frequency was then awarded to MediaCorp in May 2004 and the new station, Lush 99.5, was launched 9 months later.

DAB stations

MediaCorp used to operate Digital Radio, a radio service using digital audio broadcasting technology which simulcast eight FM stations, namely Class 95FM, Gold 90.5FM, 987FM, Y.E.S. 93.3FM, Love 97.2FM, Lush 99.5FM, Symphony 92.4FM, and 938LIVE and broadcasts six digital-only stations, namely Cruise, Club Play, JK-Pop, Chinese Evergreens, Planet Bollywood and Bloomberg.

The service was discontinued on 1 December 2011 as the low adoption of DAB radio (compared to FM radio) and the prevalence of listening to Internet radio streams on PCs/smart-phones has rendered DAB radio irrelevant.
