Media list From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The following radio stations are located in and transmitted from Singapore.
As of August 2023, there are three licensed broadcasters of terrestrial radio in Singapore, offering a total of 19 FM radio stations; 12 are owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, two are owned by So Drama! Entertainment, and five are owned by SPH Media.[1] The radio stations are broadcast primarily in the four official languages -- Malay, Chinese, Tamil and English to cater to diverse audiences. Owing to Singapore's history as a British colony, the English-language feed of the BBC World Service has been available in the region since its establishment, with Mediacorp relaying it as part of its FM services.
Foreign stations can also be received from the neighbouring regions of Malaysia (Johor Bahru/Johor Bahru District) and Indonesia (Batam/Batam Islands), with Singapore stations likewise being receptable in those areas as well.
Mediacorp operates twelve FM radio stations, with eleven domestic stations, as well as a relay of the BBC World Service.[2] The company's digital audio broadcasting service was discontinued on 1 December 2011.[3] In a 2022 survey, Nielsen reported that Mediacorp accounted for nine of the ten most-listened radio stations in the country, with Mandopop station YES 933 being the highest-rated overall.[4]
