Listenership
In the latest Nielsen Radio Survey on 22 November 2018, eight Mediacorp stations are among the top 10 most-listened-to radio stations for the fifth consecutive year,making it the number one radio network in Singapore.
Of which, its English radio station Class 95FM has clinched the position of the Number 1 radio station in Singapore for the first time in history with the only station having more than 800,000 listeners weekly and 18.8 per cent of the weekly listenership.
Closely following CLASS 95 are Mediacorp’s YES 933, LOVE 972 and CAPITAL 958, which remain Singapore’s top three Chinese radio stations with weekly listenership at 18.5 per cent, 17.9 per cent and 15.9 per cent respectively.
The top three stations with the longest time-spent listening are Warna 94.2FM, CAPITAL 958 and Oli 968. CLASS 95 deepened its engagement with an increase in time-spent listening by 1 hour 38 minutes to 6 hours 33 minutes weekly.

{{Col-end}}History
FM stations
- The first 24-hour radio station, Perfect 10 (now known as 987), was launched on 1 January 1989. All radio stations started broadcasting 24/7 from 1 January 2008.[4]
- Mediacorp used to offer Visual Radio service on Nokia phones. The first radio stations to utilise Visual Radio are 987 in December 2005 and YES 933 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.[5]
- 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.[6] The frequency was then awarded to Mediacorp in May 2004 and the new station, Lush 99.5FM, was launched 9 months later.[7][8] The station ceased operations on 1 September 2017 as part of a rationalization of Mediacorp's network of radio stations.
- The 96.3 MHz frequency on the FM band used to be occupied by Expat Radio XFM 96.3 by Mediacorp. Formerly known as International Channel set up in 1998, the new name reinforces the station’s role in providing a variety of content for the expatriate communities in Singapore, while redefining the experience of feeling closer to home. Expat Radio XFM 96.3 ceased operations on 30 September 2016. The bollywood belt Radio Masti continued as the first independent LIVE digital radio as RADIO MASTI 24x7 and can be tuned in from anywhere anytime across the globe by downlaoding the APP Radio Masti 24x7.

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 905FM, 987FM, Y.E.S. 93.3FM, Love 97.2FM, Symphony 92.4FM, and 938Now and broadcast 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 computers and mobile devices has rendered DAB radio irrelevant.[9]
Shortwave stationsLaunched in 1994, Radio Singapore International (RSI) operated as the external service for Singapore. The station launched a signature program in 1996 called ‘Friends of the Airwaves’ reaching out throughout South-East Asia. The station featured programs in several languages, and was chiefly run by MediaCorp Radio. RSI ceased operation on 31 July 2008.[10]
