Warna 942

Warna 942 is a Malay language radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, it broadcasts a full-service format serving Malay Singaporeans, including music, news, and religious programming.

The station's origins can be traced back to Radio Singapura's Malay Service, which began on 4 January 1959. The station began a relay on 94.2 FM on 15 July 1967. It was later rebranded as Radio 2 on New Year's Day 1982, and then Warna (colour) on 23 November 1991.

In a 2016 survey, Nielsen rated Warna 942 as the country's most listened-to Malay station.

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, a dedicated Malay channel was established under the new broadcaster. On 15 July 1967, Radio Television Singapore officially launched its FM radio service, with the Malay service simulcasting on 94.2 FM. On New Year's Day 1982, as part of a larger rebranding of the Singapore Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) radio stations, the station was rebranded as "Radio 2". On 1 January 1994, SBC ended AM transmission of its stations, moving exclusively to FM.

In August 2013, Warna 942 along with Ria 897 and Suria were consolidated into Mediacorp's Malay Broadcast Division.

Programming
The station carries a mix of adult contemporary Malay music, as well as news from Mediacorp's Berita newsroom, and radio dramas,

Uniquely, the station broadcasts religious programming catering to the Islamic community. It broadcasts the Islamic call to prayer (azan solat) at the five times determined by the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS). A block of daily religious talk programming begins at 5:00 a.m. SGT, leading towards the Fajr prayer. On Friday evenings, the station broadcasts a service (solat juma'at) recapping the khutbah of the Imam during the period. Yearly on Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the station broadcasts the live Malay-language khutbah immediately after the Takbir from a mosque at 8:00 a.m. During the Maulidur Rasul holiday, the station incorporates Nasyid music dedicated to Muhammad into its music programming.
