History
Radio Singapura began service on 4 January 1959, succeeding Radio Malaya Singapore; after having shared airtime with English-language programmes on the Blue Network,[2] a dedicated Malay channel was established under the new broadcaster.[3] On 15 July 1967, Radio Television Singapore officially launched its FM radio service, with the Malay service simulcasting on 94.2 FM.[4] On 1 January 1982, as part of a larger rebranding of the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) radio stations, the station was rebranded as "Radio 2".[5] On 1 January 1994, SBC ended AM transmission of its stations, moving exclusively to FM.[6]
In August 2013, Warna 942 along with Ria 897 and Suria were consolidated into Mediacorp's Malay Broadcast Division.[7]
