On 19 January 1971, Radio Malaya was renamed to Rangkaian Nasional (National Network) and became the first station in Malaysia to broadcast 24 hours a day.
On 1 January 1989, Rangkaian Nasional was renamed to Radio 1.
Another predecessor, RIMA, which was planned for launch in 1997, was described as a "24-hour" "Malay traditional music and songs" radio station. [1]
