Oli 968 (Tamil: ஒலி 968) is a Tamil-language radio station in Singapore. Owned by the state-owned broadcaster Mediacorp, it broadcasts programming serving Indian Singaporeans, including music of Tamil Nadu.
The station's origins can be traced back to Radio Malaya Singapore's Red Network—which broadcast programming in Tamil. The station later became the Tamil Service of Radio Television Singapore, and began to be relayed on 95.8 FM on 15 July 1967. It became known as Radio 4 on 1 January 1982, and later Olikkalanjiam 96.8FM on 1 November 1991. The station was simulcast on AM and FM until 31 December 1993.
An audio simulcast of Oli 968 is carried by Mediacorp's Tamil television channel Vasantham after sign-off.
