Media Release for IMMEDIATE RELEASE IMDA AWARDS Media Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE IMDA AWARDS FREQUENCIES FOR TWO NEW RADIO STATIONS SINGAPORE – 13 March, 2017: The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) awarded radio frequencies - FM89.3 and FM96.3 - to SPH Radio Pte Ltd (SPH Radio). This paves the way for two new commercial free-to-air radio stations. Singaporeans can look forward to a new Chinese radio station that caters to seniors above 50 years of age. The station aims to support active aging by providing seniors with lifestyle information covering health, wellness and retirement planning. Chinese pop and "xin yao" entertainment music from the 80's and 90's will also feature in its staple programming. The second station is aimed at raising financial literacy of listeners. This English station will educate PMEBs (Professionals, Managers, Executives and Businessmen), financial market participants as well as the general audience on money matters. Its programming will comprise locally-produced bulletins and features focusing on market news updates, financial education, insurance planning, CPF-related discussions and a range of other topics ranging from dining, travel, health and career opportunities. The award of the two vacant radio frequencies follows the conclusion of IMDA’s open tender exercise in June 2016 which was met with strong industry interest and attracted both not- for-profit and commercial radio station proposals. At the close of the tender, IMDA received nine proposals from five tenderers – Mediacorp Pte Ltd, SPH Radio Pte Ltd, Rex Cinema Pte Ltd, HT Overseas Pte Ltd and Asia Today Singapore Pte Ltd. (See Annex A for full list of proposals received). A Tender Evaluation Committee, comprising IMDA representatives, members from the programme advisory committees and the media academic community, evaluated and found the two proposals to be most compelling in injecting both choice and diversity into Singapore’s radio scene. The two new stations by SPH Radio Pte Ltd are expected to be launched this year. Their introduction will bring the total number of local FM stations to 20 (See Annex B for full list of radio stations). ISSUED BY THE INFOCOMM MEDIA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY About Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) The Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) will develop a vibrant, world-class infocomm media sector that drives the economy, connects people, bonds communities and powers Singapore's Smart Nation vision.

  • News Release for Immediate Release MDA Seeks Proposals for Two FM
    News Release For immediate release MDA seeks proposals for two FM frequencies Singapore, 15 June 2016 – The Media Development Authority has launched a public tender to seek proposals to operate commercial or not-for-profit radio stations on two FM frequencies - FM 89.3 and FM 96.3. The FM 89.3 spectrum is vacant while FM 96.3, currently occupied by Expat Radio 96.3 XFM, will be vacated by September 2016 upon expiry of its operating licence. To attract the widest range of proposals possible and inject greater vibrancy into the local radio scene (Please see Annex A for list of existing radio stations), MDA welcomes new concepts and will not limit proposals to any particular genre or programming format. All proposals will be evaluated based on the strength of programming characteristics and quality, as well as the financial standing of the tenderers and their business plans. In addition, those looking to operate commercial radio stations on the two frequencies will be required to submit a monetary bid. Tenderers submitting not-for-profit proposals will not need to do so but they will instead be evaluated on the social impact of their programming concepts. The tender opens today and it will close on 14 September 2016. Results will be announced by the first quarter of 2017.
