History

Radio Malaya Malacca began its first broadcast from the Stadthuys in 1946, which was transmitted using a 25 watt powered transmission tower in Malacca City Centre. In 1948, the Station was moved to a wooden building in Bandar Hilir when Stadthuys was repurposed as a court building, and was transmitted using a 300 watt powered transmission tower at Malacca Straits Inn. Radio Malaya Malacca was rebranded as Radio Malaysia Melaka, when Malacca became a part of the newly formed Federation of Malaysia on 16 September 1963. Radio Malaysia Melaka moved to its present location at Jalan Mata Kuching (now Jalan Taming Sari), with the building officiated by Yang di-Pertua Negeri of Malacca – Tun Haji Abdul Malek Yusof, on 17 August 1965 and broadcast using AM Frequency 1008 kHz with a power of 10 kilowatt through a transmission tower located at Batu Berendam.^[1]
