Radio Klasik, formerly known as Radio 1 National Service, is the oldest Malaysian language radio station. Operated by Radio Televisyen Malaysia, it first broadcast on 1 April 1946 as Radio Malaya. Its main motto is Menggamit Kenangan (Reaching Memories). The station primarily plays classic hits, easy listening, and oldies from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. It is similar to and related to Warna 94.2FM in Singapore and Sinar in Malaysia, targeting listeners aged 50 and above. Radio Klasik broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, a service it began offering on 19 January 1971.
The station first broadcast as Radio Malaya on 1 April 1946 from George Town, Penang. With the independence of Malaya on 31 August 1957, Radio Malaya was split into two. The original studios in Singapore were taken over by a new station called Radio Singapura (currently known as Mediacorp Radio), while Radio Malaya moved to Kuala Lumpur and began broadcasting from the new location on 1 January 1959.
On 19 January 1971, Radio Malaya was renamed to Rangkaian Nasional (National Network) and became the first station in Malaysia to broadcast 24 hours a day.
On 1 January 1989, Rangkaian Nasional was renamed to Radio 1.
Another predecessor, RIMA, which was planned for launch in 1997, was described as a "24-hour" "Malay traditional music and songs" radio station.[1]
Radio Klasik adopts the classic hits, easy listening, and Oldies radio format, with the majority of the playlist consisting of music from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
Daily features include Golden Oldies music from the 1950s and 1960s.
Like all other RTM and regional radio stations, Radio Klasik plays the national anthem every midnight.
