My FM went on air on 1 August 1998, after previously broadcast as an Astro-only radio channel since the launch of the satellite network in October 1996 under the name Chuan Zhen Xin Qu Tai (Chinese name: 傳真心曲台, literally "Fax heart song"). Prior to this, the frequencies of MY FM was used by
TalkRadio, along with
Hitz FM,
Mix FM,
Light & Easy and Classic Rock (still available on Astro and online, frequency taken over by
Era FM, which also began broadcasting on 1 August of that year) was among the earliest privately owned English language radio stations to be broadcast in Malaysia, having launched into the airwaves in 1997. It was the second private Chinese radio station in Malaysia after REDI-FM 98.8 (now 988), which had begun broadcasting two years earlier as a trilingual station, but Chinese content represents 50 percent of its programming before it was relaunched as full-fledged Chinese radio station in December 1997. The country had only one Chinese-language radio station before this, which was the government-owned
Radio Malaysia Channel 5. Originally, the radio station mainly focused on Chinese songs for all ages. However, with the launch of
Melody FM in August 2012, which replaced XFM on Astro and FM frequencies (continued as an online station but is now defunct), some older songs and announcers were moved from MY FM to that new radio station. On 30 September 2023, Astro Radio stopped its operations in Sabah and Sarawak and returned to Bukit Jalil. ==Tagline==
