TraXX FM is a 24/7 English-language radio station operated by Radio Televisyen Malaysia. Established on April 1 2005, it was previously known as the English Language Service in 1946, the Blue Network in 1959 and Radio 4 in 1993.[1][2]
The station's name "TraXX" (in use since April 1 2005, as a part of re-branding of RTM's radio stations) is derived from the word 'Track' and 'XX', the later denoting the old tagline 'Xperience the Xcitement'. The station's initial tagline was 'Travel and Music' after re-branding to a tourism-oriented radio station.[3] It then switched back to "Experience the Excitement" to suit its current role as an information-based and generalist radio station with a wide range of programmes and all kinds of music genres (K-Pop, English and Malay music).
