History

THR.fm

THR (formerly TIME Highway Radio) is a defunct radio channel from Malaysia. It was the first private commercial radio station in Malaysia, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Taken over by Astro Radio in 2005 (to broadcast Tamil and Malay (East Coast) programming), the station was originally the initiative and for some time the flagship station of the TIME Engineering conglomerate, and as the name suggests the station was targeted at road/highway users with traffic reports and entertainment. It heralded a new era in the Malaysian broadcasting scene as it was the first station to provide an alternative to government-owned Radio Televisyen Malaysia radio stations and it marked the beginning of a stiff competition for the Malaysian English speaking audience. Currently , the radio were divided into 2 different channel, Tamil (THR Raaga) and Malay (THR Gegar).

Background

THR began its test transmission on the night of 31 August 1994 (37th National Day) on FM 99.3 MHz from the Gunung Ulu Kali transmitter site covering the state of Selangor, Kuala Lumpur, and western Pahang. It operated out of a studio rented from Radio Televisyen Malaysia at the Angkasapuri building in Kuala Lumpur. On 9 September, at precisely 3:00 pm local time, symbolically in line with its '99.3' frequency THR officially came into being, operating in both Malay and English for 24 hours a day on the 80:20 formula - 80% broadcast time was in English, 20% in Malay; it was the second station in Malaysia to go round-the-clock after Klasik Nasional FM (then known as Radio 1) in 1971, and did so right out on the first day of its transmission.
