History

Mix FM, alongside sister channels Hitz FM and LiteFM, was among the first privately owned English language radio stations to be broadcast in Malaysia, having launched into the airwaves in January 1997 after being one of Astro's audio-only channels since the launch of the satellite network in October the year before. The country had only one English language radio station before this, which was the government-owned Radio Malaysia Channel 4.

Originally, the radio station mainly focused on 1980s and 1990s music in its fare. After a rebranding exercise in 2006 however, the station tends to gravitate more towards adult contemporary music whereas its former focus of 1980s and 1990s music has been moved to its sister station, LiteFM.
