It is operated by Radio Televisyen Malaysia and was first broadcast on 1 April 1946 as Radio Malaya. Its main motto is Menggamit Kenangan (Reaching Memories). The station mostly plays classic hits, easy listening and Oldies from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. It is similar and related to Warna 94.2FM in Singapore and Sinar in Malaysia as targeting listeners between the age of 50 to now. It is broadcast 24 hours a day (starting on 19 January 1971), 7 days a week.

History

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 was taken over by a new station called Radio Singapura (currently known as Mediacorp Radio), and Radio Malaya moved to Kuala Lumpur airing from the new location on 1 January 1959.

On 19 January 1971, Radio Malaya renamed to Rangkaian Nasional (National Network), and became the first station to broadcast for 24 hours a day in Malaysia.

On 1 January 1989, Rangkaian Nasional renamed to Radio 1.

Its other predecessor, RIMA, which was planned to launch as of 1997, was only described as a "24 hour" "Malay traditional music and songs" radio station.

Radio Klasik adopts the classic hits, easy listening and Oldies radio format with the majority of the playlist consisting of Classic hits, Easy listening and Oldies music from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.

On daily features Golden Oldies music from the 1950s and 1960s.
