The station started as Radio Malaya operating out of George Town, Penang, on 1 April 1946. 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 going on air from the new location on 1 January 1959.

On 19 January 1971, Radio Malaya was known as Rangkaian Nasional (National Network) started broadcasting 24 hours a day as the first station in the country to do so.

On 1 January 1989, Rangkaian Nasional was known as 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. [1]
