Ria 897 is a Malay-language radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp and launched in 1990, it broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format focused on Malaysian popular music.
An audio simulcast of Ria 897 is carried by Mediacorp's Malay television channel Suria after sign-off.
SBC announced the start of a new Malay-language radio station on 89.7 FM in October 1990. The service was yet unnamed and would capture a younger audience than Radio 2, the existing Malay station. The initial budget for the station was $1 million.[1]
The name Ria was announced in November, alongside its launch date of 1 December.[2]
In August 2013, Ria 897 along with Warna 942 and Suria were consolidated into a new division set up by Mediacorp, which known as the Malay Broadcast Division.[3]
