It provides Malay Islamic, news and information programs and broadcasts Malay nostalgic songs.
The station changed brandings several times until 23 November 1991 where the station gained its current name as Warna (the Malay language word for colour).
It is currently Singapore's #1 Malay radio station, according to the latest Nielsen Radio Survey as of 22 December 2020.[1]
Music Director : Brader Bo (never for Elfie Rafie)
News Bulletins
News bulletins for the station are provided by Mediacorp's Malay newsroom (Bilik Berita) division. The news was delivered every hour between morning and primetime slots of the day (airs between 7:00am and 10:00pm daily) but in mid 2018, the Bilik Berita division adjusted its news bulletins to air every hour between 7:00am and 7:30pm.[citation needed]
General Islamic service
The station is unique among all Singapore-based stations as it provides content to the Malay/Muslim community in Singapore.
Daily religious programming and Azan Solat broadcasts
Every morning at 5:00 am, an automated religious programming is presented with pre-recorded studio continuity in between segments.
Mandatory programmes aired in the service include the following:
Seruan Illahi
Santapan Rohani
Firman & Sabda
Sinaran Al-Quran
Kemusykilan
Tazkirah
Khutbah Jumaat
For five times a day, the prayer call or azan solat is played on the station at the assigned time calculated and deliberated by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS). Due to its time zone alignment with other UTC +8 countries since 1 January 1982, the Azan Subuh (Fajr) airs between 5:27 am and 5:59 am for Singapore (about 30 minutes ahead of its previous UTC+7:30 time zone); thus, instead of 6:00 am, Mediacorp prompted the Malay station to begin its broadcast day by playing the national anthem at 5:00 am to prevent overlapping with the call.
Khutbah broadcasts
As the Singapore government promotes harmony between different religions, the actual solat portion on Fridays and Hari Raya prayer services, is banned for broadcasting across terrestrial radio and television channels based across the country. Instead, at around 6:30 pm, a recording of the Solat Juma'at service is broadcast on the station, to recap the Khutbah (sermon) of the Imam during the period. Yearly on Hari Raya Aidilfitri (1 Syawal) and Hari Raya Haji (10 Zulhijah), the station broadcasts the live Malay-language Khutbah immediately after the Takbir from a Masjid (mosque) at 8:00 am.
Special programming
During the Maulidur Rasul holiday, the station airs Nasyid music dedicated to the Prophet Muhammad while also playing regular music at the same time, throughout the day.
