Warna 94.2FM

Warna 94.2FM is a Malay language contemporary music radio station operated by Mediacorp. The station plays a unique blend of international Malay top 40 music from 1950s and beyond, and provides an Islamic General Service for Singapore.
It is one of the nation's oldest stations, having began operating on 1 June 1936 as Radio Singapore 2. The branding stuck even as the network the station was in changed names several times until 23 November 1991 where the station gained its current name as Warna (Malay: "Colour").
The station's DJs include Suharti Ali & Zakiah Halim, who have more than 30 years of experience in the radio industry.
It is currently Singapore's #1 Malay radio station according to the latest Nielsen Radio Survey as of 22 December 2020.
News Bulletins.
News bulletins for the station are provided by Mediacorp's Malay newsroom ("Bilik Berita") division. The news was delivered every hour between morning and primetime slots of the day (airs between 7:00am and 10:00pm daily) but in mid 2018, the "Bilik Berita" division adjusted its news bulletins to air every hour between 7:00am and 7:30pm.

Weekends.
Warna 94.2FM is one of the Mediacorp stations that utilises automated regular music playlists for up to 4 or even 8 hours, seven days a week. Automation begins at 1:00am (or 9:00pm on weekends) and runs until 5:00am the next day, except every last Sunday of the month when it undergoes a monthly off-air technical maintenance. Prior to September 2020, this station was the only one that had the longest duration of automated music playlists for up to 8 hours.
Presenter-led programmes, meanwhile, are at the following time blocks:
General Islamic service.
The station is unique among all other Singapore-based stations (including sister Malay station Ria 89.7FM) as it provides content to the Malay/Muslim community in Singapore.
Daily religious programming and Azan Solat broadcasts.
Every morning at 05:00 am, an automated religious programming is presented with pre-recorded studio continuity in between segments.
Mandatory programmes aired in the service include the following:
For five times a day, the prayer call or "azan solat" is played on the station at the assigned time calculated and deliberated by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS); the practice is differed from Ria where it only announces prayer times. Due to its time zone alignment with other UTC +8 countries since 1 January 1982, the "Azan Subuh (Fajr)" airs between 05:27 and 05:59 am for Singapore (about 30 minutes ahead of its previous UTC+7:30 time zone); thus, instead of 06:00, Mediacorp prompted the station to begin its broadcast day by playing the national anthem at 05:00 am to prevent overlapping with the call.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mosques were closed across Singapore due to public health concerns. Accordingly, on the advice of MUIS, Warna's broadcast of the azan was updated, asking Muslims to 'pray at home'.
Khutbah broadcasts.
On Fridays at around 6:35 pm, a recording of the Solat Juma'at service is broadcast to recap the Khutbah "(sermon)" of the Imam during the period. Yearly on Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Aidiladha, the station broadcasts the live Malay-language sermon from a mosque at 08:00 am.
Special programming.
During the Mawlid holiday, the station airs Nasyid music dedicated to the Prophet Muhammad while also playing regular music at the same time, throughout the day.
