List of radio stations in Singapore

The following radio stations are located in and transmitted from Singapore.

FM stations

As of August 2023, there are three licensed broadcasters of terrestrial radio in Singapore, offering a total of 19 FM radio stations; 12 are owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, two are owned by So Drama! Entertainment, and five are owned by SPH Media.[1] The radio stations are broadcast primarily in the four official languages -- Malay, Chinese, Tamil and English to cater to diverse audiences.
