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.Astro Radio Ceases Operation In Sabah & Sarawak, All Staff Given Voluntary Separation Scheme (VSS)
